The Most Important Business Skill
The Life Skill You Need the Most Is Often Overlooked I think everyone will agree that there are certain life skills that are necessary for a great life. School and universities are supposed to prepare their students for life…but they don’t. Balancing a checkbook was once a vital life skill, but no one in school…
Read MoreHow Many Times Do You Write Your Goals Each Day?
Every personal leadership book I have ever read tells me to write my goals daily. But let’s get real. How many of us actually write our goals daily? I never wrote down my goals daily in the past. I also never achieved much either. One day, I began writing my goals. It seemed like some magical power I…
Read MoreThe Book That Helped Me Earn My Biggest Paycheck So Far
Alright here’s my confession. I didn’t buy the book The 10x Rule, I bought the mp3 audio, which is even better than the book in my opinion . The audio is also called The 10x Rule by New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, sales trainer, and real estate mogul Grant Cardone. I bought it from GrantCardone.com on…
Read MoreWhy Getting Rich and Famous are Essential to Your Entrepreneurial Success
Getting rich and famous are almost taboo these days. Like a lot of busy solopreneurs these days, I have a few tools that are in auto-pilot on my Twitter feed @michael_neely. Yesterday, I saw the article “5 Wrong Reasons for Becoming an Entrepreneur” by Jayson Demers on my feed from Entrepreneur magazine and I had to read it. I don’t keep…
Read MoreHow I Went Backwards in Business…and You Can Too!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, but that’s all about to change…permanently. I’ve pursued my business career the wrong way for years. I’ve gotten involved with companies as a sales rep that immediately wanted me to market their way and no other ways. This also limited my potential success. I have worked 1099 “opportunities”…
Read MoreFour Reasons To Begin With Where You Are
Where Do I Start My Next Project? My life has certainly not been a straight line of successes. I have met setbacks, obstacles and even had my plans sabotaged by others. Sometimes, I have created my own setbacks and obstacles and sabotaged myself. I have re-started my life and what I am working on repeatedly…
Read MoreSuccess Is Your Duty
Success is not an option. It is an obligation. Here it is. The message that drives me. I wear it on my wrist every minute of every day. By wearing this bracelet (and the other bracelets I wear), it keeps me focused and helps me keep my eye on the ball. Do better than I…
Read MoreBetting it all on “the economy?”
“The Economy” Won’t Save You First, it is because it’s not about “the economy,” it’s about “your economy.” If you are waiting for something to pick you up and whisk you away to your dream life, you will be waiting a long time. Taking personal responsibility for how your life and your finances turn out is…
Read More“Good Job” vs. Entrepreneurship
Everyone Wants a “Good Job,” Right? I guess it depends on who you’re speaking with. And what do you mean by a “good job?” I’ve heard this term a lot over the last few years, especially around election time. You hear statements like “There just aren’t enough ‘good jobs.’” What better excuse for mediocrity can…
Read MoreMassive Action- The Change Agent
Maybe massive action doesn’t mean the same thing to you that it means to me. Maybe you’re not closing more business than you’d like to. Maybe you’d like to double or triple your current income. Massive action is how you create massive change in your life. Massive action is the up early/work late, work/life-balance-be-damned, going-all-out…
