With the year approaching its end, you need to make sure you have a plan for next year’s business goals. A good place to start is by evaluating this year’s goals. Then, set a plan in place to help you reach next year’s goals.
The trick to truly being able to...
Last year, I surprised my wife and her friend Tracy with tickets to the AFC championship in Kansas City. We left on a Saturday and got to Kansas City and stayed the night in a hotel. We got up the next day and made our way to the football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England...
In my Reclaim Your Gladiator course, the entire first day is about learning to stand on your own two feet. In this world you have to learn you can stand up against all resistance and all things that come your way, so you can become completely independent and take ownership of your own...
I’m going to keep hammering the idea that you MUST create the life you want. You must decide and then create. If you just let it happen, then you’ll get a “just happened to me” life. But, if you go out and create one, you’ll have the life of your dreams. You can try...

“Am I flexible enough to change my mind and accept feedback?”
This was a question in my The Daily Stoic Journal that’s had me thinking. It couldn’t have come at a more crucial time in our business. We are in the middle of making considerable changes...
