Betting 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 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…
Read MoreDesire Is Where Success Starts
Desire is where business success starts. Success will not come to you just because you are awesome. There are people who say they desire success, but they don’t want success badly enough to work hard towards their vision of success. They think that their friends will not approve, and these people are probably right. Their…
Read MoreObscurity Is Your Enemy
Do you want business success? The biggest thing holding you back is obscurity. If you want to drive the nice cars and take vacations whenever you and your family want, people have to know who you are. This post is another Grant Cardone inspired blog.

She wants you to avoid some of the trials and troubles that she experienced in her life. Other critics are not well-meaning, like the co-worker who shoots down everything…
Read MoreThere Is No Try
Someone asked me yesterday “Are you going to try to get some work done today?” “No, I AM going to get some work done today,” I answered back. I almost took this careless question as an insult. Then, I considered the source of the question as someone who does not pay close attention to their…
Read MoreNo Problem- Two Words Your Customers Should Never Hear From You
There are two words that your customers should never hear from you if you want to keep their business. Those words are “No” and “Problem.” Want to irritate your current customers faster? Use them right beside each other. Every time I hear “no problem” from someone on the phone, I automatically hang up and look…
Read MoreBusiness is a People Thing
People are everywhere, right? Considering that my first small business successes came as buying and selling stocks, doing business face-to-face with people was something that took a while for me.
