   Episode 2: Creating Your Dream

   Let’s talk some more about belief systems because they control everything else that is in the Dream Toolbox. Belief in yourself and believing in your dream is a strange thing. With it, there is almost nothing you cannot achieve; without it, nothing will happen.

   Episode 3: Believing Your Dream

   Our belief systems determine where we will end up in life. I am not talking about religious faith, although that can be a huge help if it is strong. I am talking about those fundamental things we believe about ourselves.

   Episode 8: Skills Are Investment Assets

   Let’s talk about Skills as investment assets. 1. No wealthy person I know depends on a paycheck to live the life they live. They own assets, stocks, real estate, businesses that work for them while they sleep or play. 2. A quality investment can last a lifetime, and beyond. A job is only as good…

    Episode 12: Money

    Let’s talk about Money. We can’t talk about the tools of success without talking about it. Most everyone thinks they know what “Money” is. And most everyone is wrong!

    Episode 13: Freedom and Happiness

    You have no doubt heard it said, “Money can’t buy happiness.” And that is true. I know many unhappy millionaires. But I know many more unhappy folks whose lack of enough money to feel safe in their daily lives creates its own unhappiness.

    Episode 14: Building Wealth

    Everywhere you turn today, you hear people lamenting the income gap between the top 10% of earners and the bottom 50%, or below. Those people are half right. There is a big difference between those who earn the most and those who just barely get by. But, as we will discuss in detail later, it is...

    Episode 16: Zero Sum Games

    What does that mean? Think about any sports contest. Whether it is baseball, football, or any other competition, there is only one winner. Second place is only the first loser. But financial success is not like that. Think about Apple Computer, the most valuable company in the world as I am…

    Episode 17: Race, Gender, and Success

    First of all, everyone who is not blind to reality knows that in the United States (and most of the world), it is extremely helpful to be a white male instead of black or Hispanic or Asian, or a female. I would be lying if I did not say that in the United States today, it is a great advantage to…

    Episode 20: Take Responsibility, Don't Blame

    In life, lots of things go wrong for every one of us. What matters is not the event, but what we do with it. Suppose, for example, someone you trusted steals from you and causes you real harm. You have several choices:1) You can blame the person who cheated you and always believe that, if not for...
