Why Making Lots of Money Doesn’t Always Make People Happy

If I had a dime for every time someone has told me that they aren’t happy even though they make lots of money, I’d be a very rich man. Well, maybe not rich, but at the very least, I could buy myself some caffeine to stay awake this afternoon. Listen, I’m not going to tell […]

Success Requires Time And Generous Effort

Success requires time and generous effort. Some people say success takes time. Good things take time. This is not entirely true. Time is time. Time simply passes. But to become successful, you need to generously help people, putting in years worth of effort, to reach your goals. Time expiring does nothing for you. But if […]

How Bruce Lee’s Fear Can Help You Succeed

Bruce Lee, one of the most well known martial artists of all time, had this to say about the opponents he most feared: “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Are You Practicing 10,000 Kicks or One Kick 10,000 […]

Do You Nickle and Dime Your Way into Endless Struggle?

If you feel investing money in coaching or a course feels expensive now, imagine how expensive spending money on the coach or course will feel 5 years in the future when you are still struggling, depressed and unhappy? I observed a scenario recently from a well-meaning but scared entrepreneur which plays out quite often. I […]

Freedom Sits on the Other Side of Fear

I recall experiencing some serious hardships in my life. During these episodes, I felt completely bound, handcuffed by circumstances. Facing, feeling and releasing fears fueling these situations helped me experience freedom like I’d never experienced. I had to face the fear, feel it and proceed to taste the sweet nectar of freedom. Feel the Fear […]

Do You Fish for One Great White or a Million Guppies?

This analogy sounds strange. But hear me out. Most people seek a home run, swing wildly, miss and live their life without ever experiencing their dreams. The scene from the movie Wall Street sums it up; Bud Fox noted how life comes down to a few moments and meeting big dawg Gordon Gekko was one […]

Passion Plus Detachment Breeds Persistence

Bloggers often ask me how to be persistent. Some cannot seem to find the time to blog. Others quit, return to blogging, quit and the cycle continues for years. Lacking persistence tends to indicate you chase outcomes, not passion, in your endeavor. I am a pretty persistent dude. Some say I am like clockwork with […]

Numbers Don’t Lie but They Rarely Tell the Full Story

This morning I found out that I weigh the same as my personal trainer. We’re roughly the same height as well, and numbers don’t lie, so we’re the same, right? Well, almost. I’ve just got a little more…abdominal muscle. The fact of the matter is that I’ll probably never be as strong as my trainer. […]

How Frequently Do You Turn Down Help?

No, I got it. I have it. Please; I don’t need your help. Rewind. Think back to how many times these words flowed out of your mouth. I always turned down help as a younger person. Pride, a lone wolf mentality and a certain arrogance prevented me from getting help. I loved doing things solo. […]

Can You Ultimately Control Your Reputation?

No. Why not? Humans can influence other humans. But humans cannot control what other people think about them. eBook Review For example, I wrote and self-published an 80 page, in-depth guide for my first eBook. I teach folks how to retire to a life of island hopping through blog. After clearly explaining how I did […]
