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 look back at the end of the year and s...
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 Patri...
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 life and actio...
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 to prove me wrong, but I’m almost...
Are you tired of feeling stressed out? One of the most frequent complaints I hear involves the word “STRESS.” It usually goes something like, “I am just so stressed out with everything I have to do.” As a business owner, I could easily say, “I sympathize with you.” But the reality is, I don’t really...
If I ask you the question, “What is the most important thing in your life?” what would you answer?
My goal is to get you to reevaluate everything from your role in your business to your personal relationships and everything in between.Â
While I started off with a quote from a book I had read, what...
I’m not sure how long ago it happened. I cannot tell you exactly what it was that prompted it. It may have been something that happened to me, or it may have been something I read or heard. This much I do know: It dramatically changed my life forever. Since discovering this secret, nothing in my bus...
Do you have integrity?
It sounds like an easy question with an easy answer until you really stop to think about integrity. Most of the world lacks true integrity, but once you understand how to develop true integrity, you can stand out.
The word “integrity” comes from the Latin adjective, “integer...
Sometimes, I’m an ass, but not as much as I used to be. I hurt people’s feelings. I’m impatient. I’m not a good listener. I don’t try as hard as I should. These are all true. At the same time, I’m so much better than I was ten years ago, and that’s the point: the continuous process of learning an...
“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 and needing to re-think where we are and where ...
Why do we judge others on what they do and judge ourselves on our intentions?
It’s a great question and applies both to the things we do that we shouldn’t have and the things we should have done that we don’t.
For example, Mary is late to work every day. We judge her based on the fact that every d...
If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room…
The one thing that I have been able to do over the last 20 years is to learn how to surround myself with people truly smarter than I am. I know a lot of people talk about this, and a lot of people say that they believe in this co...
