Episode 25, Volume 7: GRADIENTS OF CAUSE
TO BE CAUSE OR NOT TO BE CAUSE—that is the question. With apologies to Shakespeare… Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous weirdos, Or to take arms against a sea of barriers And by opposing overcome them?To be Effect: to sleep—No more; and by a sleep to say…

Review Episode: THE BUSINESS OWNER’S DAILY ESSENTIAL
Most of us, to one degree or another, find success in establishing certain actions as routine. It’s a good idea to write a daily battleplan of the actions you are going to take that day, return your phone calls and messages, handle your communications, and so on. But there is one daily routine…

Episode 24, Volume 7: BECOMING UNSTOPPABLE
Some people seem unstoppable, relentlessly driven toward their goals—and often attaining them. What’s their secret? Is there some “unstoppable” gene in their DNA? Are they simply a greater magnitude of being? No. Not necessarily. Believe it or not, this is a characteristic that is relatively easy...

Have you ever wondered how things got like this? You work your guts out to build a successful company—and you SUCCEED! The business is a going concern. Maybe you’re even earning a pretty good personal income, have a good home and drive a fast car. Trouble is, you can’t seem to get away from the...

Review Episode: A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR SUCCESS
Take a look at your business and you could probably make a long list of things that need improvement. But you might completely miss the most fundamental—and easiest—change you could make, and the one that could produce the most dramatic improvement. Once you know this, you will instantly become a...
-
Episode 20, Volume 7: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF MAKING A LINE-UP
If you’ve been listening to recent episodes, you’ve learned that there is something to know about getting a product—and that products don’t happen by themselves. It starts with NAMING the product. But naming the product is only the beginning of whole cycle of action. And here we come to the lost...
-
Review Episode: The Criminal Mind- What You Don’t Confront Can Hurt You
Maybe we don’t like talking about it. Maybe we would prefer not to think about it—or even to perceive it. But there is something about humanity that you need to know and understand very well. Because if you cannot confront it, you can become the effect of it. And I would be willing to bet that…
more -
Episode 19, Volume 7: HOW TO GET A PRODUCT
We have covered a lot of ground in the hundreds of episodes of BusinessWISE, all with one purpose: to help you achieve more success and expansion. But what does that essentially mean? MORE PRODUCTION. Because when all the bright ideas and planning are done—when you’ve organized, promoted and...

Review Episode: “What would Ron do in this situation?”
There is a very useful and rather clever approach that many of us old salts use whenever we find ourselves in a tight spot. We simply ask ourselves, "What would Ron do?" I recommend this highly—provided you have the confront and the guts to follow the answer. And wouldn't you know it? LRH…

Episode 18, Volume 7: YOUR FIRST BARRIER TO SUCCESS
Life is a GAME, as we covered in an earlier episode. Every game has barriers. You know that. In fact, if you've ever tried to accomplish anything worthwhile, you've run into plenty of them. But of all the barriers you will ever face, there is one that comes first. Until you overcome it, you can...
-
Episode 17, Volume 7: THE ANATOMY OF A WINNING GAME
We've talked about games before, and I wouldn't be surprised if most BusinessWISE listeners could tell me the three basic elements of a game. Yet there is one aspect of games, identified by Mr. Hubbard, that is frequently overlooked. Ironically, it may be the very factor that determines whether…

Episode 16, Volume 7: LOOK OUT FOR THE ENERGY THIEVES
Most of us have had the experience, and all too often, of spending time with someone after which one feels completely drained. These are the energy thieves, and if we can we try to avoid them. But there is something more valuable to be learned here. Discovering the CAUSE of the phenomena puts YOU...

REVIEW EPISODE: How to Handle Black PR – Part 1
Few people go through life without making enemies. Gone are the days of settling disputes through a duel, a showdown with a six-gun on your hip, or, as was once done in English public schools, a few rounds in the boxing ring. Today, the most common way to destroy someone is to destroy their...
-
Episode 15, Volume 7: THE MAGIC WAVELENGTH

REVIEW EPISODE: The Spiral, the forgotten Org Board episode
We have done many episodes on the Org Board over the years. None is more important than this one, but it has remained buried in the archives. This understanding of the Org Board will help more than your business; it can put your whole life on the fast track to success.
-
Episode 14, Volume 7: LEADERSHIP & TEAM BUILDING
How is it going building your dream—and your team? The two are inseparable, aren't they? Most of us have goals that are simply too large to accomplish alone. Sooner or later, if we are going to achieve them, we must learn to build a team. And the moment we begin building a team, we are confronted...
-
Episode 13, Volume 7: HOW TO HAVE IT ALL
You may have been told “you can’t have everything”, but is that true? Many have said “I want it all”, and those who say that are sometimes accused of being a little unrealistic. What is the truth here? You might be very surprised at the answer.
-
REVIEW EPISODE: CREATING GROUP MORALE
Do you have a morale problem in your business or group? Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But I do not know many successful business owners who don’t have an interest in the MORALE of their team. And the more you understand about morale, the better equipped you will be to handle this vital factor in...
-
Episode 12, Volume 7: The Attitude Behind Failure
Attitude is an interesting subject. It’s one of those words people throw around casually, but what does it actually mean — and how much can attitude determine success or failure? We recently ran across an LRH datum regarding attitude, and I think you are going to be surprised at how useful it can...

REVIEW EPISODE: Trouble Indicators
Want more trouble in your life or business? Simple: ignore the indicators. There is a very good reason people fail to see the warning signs until it’s “too late.” Listen to this episode and find out what it is.
-
Episode 11, Volume 7: HOW TO BUILD A TEAM
By survey, business owners are struggling to find and retain good people. Many become trapped in “Phase 1” — wearing too many hats, bypassing others, and trying to carry entire sectors of the business themselves. Critical hats go unfilled. Expansion slows. And after enough disappointments, many...
-
REVIEW EPISODE: Statistics: What You’re Not Seeing
You may look at your stats—but are you seeing the full picture? Do you understand your scene well enough to achieve your vision? To raise statistics, you first have to use them—but it’s not just about looking, it’s about seeing clearly. It may be what's hidden from view that's leaving you in the...
-
Episode 10, Volume 7: SUCCEEDING WITH STATS PART 1 - Controlling Statistics
According to L. Ron Hubbard, “Graphs and stat analysis are the heart and soul of management.” It’s hard to overstate the importance of this subject—and yet, we’ve never done a series on it. So get ready. This is going to be a wild ride. We’re diving straight into the heart and soul of management,...
-
Episode 9, Volume 7: DISTRACTION: HANDLING THE BARRIERS—Part 2
If you listened to the first episode of this two-part series, you saw how destructive DISTRACTION is to your success. But we didn’t tell you how to handle it. In this episode, you’ll learn the simple law that cuts through distraction and brings chaos under control.
-
REVIEW EPISODE: Handling Bullies — A Lesson in Justice
You experienced them as a kid. But bullies don’t grow out of it—they just get better at hiding it. And in business and life, the damage can be far greater. In this episode, learn how to recognize them—and handle them.
-
REVIEW EPISODE: Why you are having staffing problems
The common denominator to finding competent employees has been discovered, and the handling is simple. Listen to this episode. It could not only change your life, it could give you one.
-
REVIEW EPISODE: The Barrier to Implementation
You can know something. Agree with it. Even intend to apply it. And still—not implement. That is not accidental. There is a specific barrier that stops application. In this episode, we bring it into view—and show you how to handle it so you can move forward and win.
-
Episode 8, Volume 7: DISTRACTION: THE BARRIER BEHIND THE BARRIERS—Part 1

-
Episode 7, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #4, OUT-TECH!
There are some episodes of BusinessWISE where, while we’re putting them together, I find myself wondering if this might be the most important episode we’ve ever done. This one falls into that category. I won’t say it’s the most important—but it is damn important, I can tell you that. It may…

REVIEW EPISODE: Stat Management versus Stat Push
If you are using the Hubbard management system, you are using Stat Management. Conversely, the more you know about and apply statistical management, the more you are using the Hubbard management system. But here and there some think they are using stat management when they are actually using…

Episode 6, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #3 The Potential Trouble Source
There are four conditions that are completely within your control to handle that, left untended, mean certain self-destruction of the group. This is condition Number 3. Learn about it so you don’t go effect of it, and learn the remedy.

Review Episode: CONTROLLING INCOME- A fundamental
Show me an entrepreneur who isn’t interested in controlling income — and I’ll show you someone who won’t stay in business very long. But there is a basic fundamental here that many are tempted to overlook. Master this one point and you take a decisive first step toward stabilizing and expanding...
-
Episode 5, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #2
The second cause of business suicide is unfortunately all too common and becoming more so. You need to be especially alert for this one. If you have customers yelling in reception, chances are it comes from this.
-
Episode 4, Volume 7: BUSINESS SUICIDE: Cause #1
There are four causes that L. Ron Hubbard described as a subtle form of organizational “suicide.” Most businesses don’t recognize them — until money flows dry up, contracts break down, or customers disappear. The good news? Each has a precise and simple handling. In this episode, we examine Cause...
-
Episode 3, Volume 7: LIFE MASTERY PART 5- SELF-INVALIDATION
Does invalidation make a better employee or teammate? The evidence says no—yet it’s used constantly. What about invalidating yourself? Does that create a stronger, more capable you? Also doubtful. In this episode, we take a hard look at self-invalidation and examine what L. Ron Hubbard has to say...
-
Review Episode: LAST CALL FOR CAUSE!
We have done a couple of episodes in a row on HOW TO BE AT CAUSE, and this one is a fitting wrap up on the subject, at least for now. And while it is difficult to peg any one episode as the “ultimate” at showing you how to go from “effect” to “cause,” I would say this one is close.
-
Episode 2, Volume 7: THE SECRET TO “GUARANTEED” CAUSE
There is one attribute that virtually guarantees you will be at cause. It’s simple, mechanical, and within anyone’s reach. In this episode, we examine it closely—and why it works so reliably when applied.
-
Review Episode: How to Be At Cause
No one in the business world likes being at effect—at the effect of the market, the competition, a bad employee, or the inability to find competent ones. There is, however, a simple formula from L. Ron Hubbard that will put you at cause in any circumstance. Learn it. Apply it. And watch your...
-
Episode 1, Volume 7: LIFE MASTERY PART 4- VALIDATION
When we think of success in achieving our goals, we often think of discipline. We know it takes discipline to attain them. And when we think of discipline, we usually think of hard training and constant correction towards perfection. But there is another factor, perhaps the most important one…

Episode 34, Volume 6: POSTULATES AND THE FUTURE
There is no better time to sit down and dream up some postulates than right now, as we enter 2026. The better you understand postulates (and there is a lot to know about them), the more skilled you become in using them. The more skilled you become in using them, the better you can create and...

-
Episode 33, Volume 6: LIFE MASTERY PART 3- ETHICS GRADIENTS
We have been discussing LIFE MASTERY in terms of handling discipline on self, but how about handling discipline with others? Is there tech to that? Well, to master life one would have to be able to handle ethics with others, and as you might expect, L. Ron Hubbard addressed this subject with...

Episode 31, Volume 6: LIFE MASTERY Part 1

Review Episode: GOAL MAKERS AND MANAGEMENT
Recently we have trafficked with some incredible “Goal Makers”, and I am making them all listen to this episode because they all need it. L. Ron Hubbard pointed out something so critical and so fundamental, but it is routinely missed, resulting in creative people working themselves to death with...
-
Episode 29, Volume 6: The Magic Touch – Part 1
