I first planted the seed for Torp Upgrades when I came across a book on human development in my parents' library on the farm in Norway where I grew up. I was intrigued by the idea that people could improved physically and mentally through various hands-on techniques. With insight from the book, combined with my innate drive for competition and performance, I delved deep into studying how humans function and evolve. I wanted to find the essential factors that impact our lives and how best to influence them to enhance people's development more rapidly. Searching for answers took me all over the world. During the years I travelled, I absorbed as much information as I could on human development. I discovered that the majority of humans aren't aware that they possess the most advanced machinery on earth, and much less how to upgrade its functionality. I also learned that many people had psychological, emotional, and physical issues that made them less adaptive to different development techniques. I realized a core issue was people's lack of ability to convert knowledge into strategic action that could dramatically increase their capacity and skills, leading to improved results. Most approaches to human development seemed vague and speculative to me, with no actual method for measuring the effects based on results. It was apparent that what was needed was a more structured, systematic process of evaluation. So, by tracking what I was practicing more precisely and monitoring how it affected people's progress towards their goals, I was able to assess the impact more clearly. In addition, drawing on my background from mixed martial arts fighting, I applied the type of focus, simplicity in goal orientation, and decisive action necessary to everything I was seeing and learning. Armed with this newfound understanding, I established Torp Upgrades, determined to think differently and create an entirely new strategy for human development. I initially specialized in physical therapy and mental focus treatment while, in parallel, designing and testing my approach and method for speeding up people's development. This tactic would soon transform my business and ability to help people. The two questions that linger most in my mind and that became embedded in the fabric of the company are "What's the most radical scenario I can create right now?" and "What can I do that's never been done before?"
