all we need is a pen and a piece of paper to design our lives

Youth… The word alone creates many different images in our mind. Images of hope, strength, health, and speed. It is also associated with words such as inexperience, foolhardy, and naive. I must admit that each day when I see my four-year-old son run off to play with his friends at school that I am quite […]

never underestimate the power of time, a lot can happen in two weeks

A lot can happen in two weeks… Two weeks ago few people outside of Europe had ever heard of the small island of Cyprus. Today, it has taken center stage of the financial world. A population of roughly a million people and a bailout of what is considered pocket change (10 billion euros) in today’s

inspiration comes in the strangest forms

Life change comes in one of two forms; inspiration…or desperation. Or at least that’s what my mentor, Jim Rohn, said. The sad part of life is that most people turn on automatic pilot on Monday morning then come Friday evening and turn it off. Very few people live the lives they set out to live.

ignoring numbers is a big mistake in both business and in life

Sometimes people hate me … It’s not because I’m not a nice guy, I am. But I’m a number’s guy. The older you get, the more you realize how life is all made up of numbers. That doesn’t mean they are always right…but they are helpful in predicting outcomes whether it’s in business, with relationships

12 pieces of advice to transform your life

Feedback. It’s something we all need. As parents, as workers, as children, as bosses, as doctors…feedback helps us know where we stand. Unfortunately many people avoid feedback because it usually comes in the form of criticism, something many of us have trouble taking. Too many of us (I’ve been there) look at feedback as some

Sometimes less is more… I have been studying success and finance for close to 6 years. At first my focus was on success, today it’s finance. But whether I’m reading a book on time management, listening to a financial expert’s podcast, watching a seminar on copywriting or reading up on marketing strategies what I have

go where the expectations are high and the rest will take care of itself

Competition… It exists whether we’re in school, at the office, with friends and even at home. We’re constantly comparing ourselves to those around us. It’s part of our make-up. My son’s 4 and loves winning. Winning excites us. It gets us pumped. I don’t care if you’re 4 or 40, it feels good to achieve

so what if you’re not an expert, use Henry Ford’s secret to success

$3.46 million… That’s what the winner paid this year for one lunch with the legendary investor Warren Buffett (all proceeds go to charity). Why would anyone pay that kind of money? Sure, it’s for a good cause but the main reason is someone felt it was worth it. Unfortunately, very few of us have that

the 5-step solution to finding the clues left behind by success

“Success leaves clues…” That’s what my mentor, Jim Rohn, used to say and I’ve found that to be true. Sadly most of us choose to do everything the hard way, aka “on our own”, rather than learning from others that have been there and done that. Why is that? I suppose you could just chalk

interview with Becky Lawson and how network marketing could change your life

Network marketing is changing the world… It’s what franchising was back in the 50s. I remember reading about how the McDonald’s growth plan, aka franchising, was met with skepticism and yet today, all we have to do is walk around any major city in the world to see just how successful their business model has
