Hello, my name is Ben Povlow. I am the owner of The Self-Help Company, LLC. I created this start-up company to self-publish my first book “Self-Help for At-Risk Teens” and to continue creating content to support my mission of helping at-risk teenagers overcome the odds they are facing. I was raised in unfortunate circumstances and I know firsthand how difficult it can be to learn how to raise yourself without being properly prepared.
I am committed to using my knowledge and experiences to educate, empower, and inspire young people to take their lives from where they are now, to where they want to go. I have created a blog, podcast, and video streaming channels to provide multiple ways to access the content I will be continuing to create. This information will be based around the topics covered in my book and all related topics that didn’t make it onto the page. Please join my email list to be easily updated as new material is made available.
I was born in Philadelphia, PA, in 1977. After growing up as an at-risk youth, while still a young adult, I continued to struggle to break free of his negative environment. I wanted a better life but didn't know how to achieve it. When I was twenty-eight years old, I became aware of self-help and personal development materials that would transform him in a way he never knew was possible.
I went on to improve the quality of his life by reading books, listening to audio trainings, and going to seminars of the most recognizable names in self-improvement. I followed these leaders around the country for several years, soaking up their knowledge and investing a lot of money into learning how to become the best version of myself I could be.
I believe we all have the power to change our circumstances through the way we think, act, and see ourselves. I have overcome many obstacles in his life and I believe that if I can do it, anyone can.
I am now living the life of my dreams. I am married and live with my wife, Kathi, and stepdaughter, Katelyn, in a quiet suburb in central North Carolina. I have committed myself to improve the lives of others by sharing his knowledge and experience. I am an inspiring motivational public speaker, a certified life coach, author, and business owner.
