AFFIRMATIONS GOOD OR BAD
Do affirmations and visualization work. Yes, if you are already successful in that affirmation. No, if you are not. You can not lie to yourself over and over and think you are fooling your mind into believing it. Your mind knows what you are doing and why. What does work is asking yourself the...

WORRY & MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS EVER LEARNED
Everyone has worries unless they are a psychopath. We can never get rid of worry, but we can learn to manage and control its effects on us. This is how I learned the most effective techniques to manage worry. It's from the most beneficial course I have ever taken.

BEWARE OF HAPPY TALK
Many people will make promises and false claims just to make you feel happy. This makes you admire them and builds their egos at a dangerous cost to you. If you rely on this Happy Talk you could make very costly decisions that fall flat. Do your research and always get any promises in writing.

HANGING BY A ROPE
Usually the problem people have is a lack of total commitment to their goals or the RISK they have chosen but sometimes we can over commit to a plan of action that is not at all justified by the level of risk involved.

GREATEST POWER IN THE UNIVERSE
The greatest power in the universe is that of compounding. It works for good just as it does for evil. The problem is that the forces of evil are easy to allow to compound whereas to compound good requires consistent effort. Listen to the story of the tortoise and the Hare. Slow and Steady wins…

DICK TRACY AND BROKEN BONES
Once again I learn the importance of treating everyone with respect as if they were the most important person you know. You NEVER know what impact that may have in the future. You can not treat others with respect without having respect for yourself at the same time. A gift that keeps giving back...

WE DONT DO THAT HERE
Many times companies are too quick to tell customers what they will not do instead of trying to see if they can accommodate the request and keep the customer happy. Of course this is very important for larger repeat customers but the principle also applies to small retail sales and services. So...

PRECISION DRIVING
The fool drives like a maniac cutting people off and constantly tailgating the car in front of them. People think that by driving up close to the bumper of the car in front of them they will somehow get where they are going sooner. Precision driving means looking beyond the cars in front of you…

HAPPINESS
Happiness is not pleasure. I only comes when you work at it and sacrifice now for a better future. There is more to happiness than what most people think. It is never easy, because it can not be. Years ago I would never have understood how to become happy. Instead it came on its own.

POSSUM AND THE PINE
This episode is about the importance of improving yourself and less on expecting the government to solve our personal or even national problems. Improve yourself and the world will improve with you.

LEAPFROG THEORY
Sometimes the best way to advance above the competition is to Leapfrog over them to a hire level. But only if you are prepared and able to offer full Commitment to your business. Unless you are able to take on every major problem as if it is a life or death situation, your mind wont be able to…

YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK
Confrontation. Its something we all want to avoid whenever possible but many times it is just what we need in our lives. We almost always find out that we are stronger than we think we are when faced with a challenge. But avoiding a nagging situation or personal confrontation it continues to eat...

THINK ABOUT IT
Not geting enough sleep will retard your mind's abillity to think. What does it mean to "Think", in the first place? I learned a graphic example of the effects of lack of sleep on the abillity to think at a late night job for two weeeks.

GRATITUDE AND SILVER COINS
So often people think that they can instantly change complex parts of society with laws governing race, climate, equality of outcomes, and so many social causes without being appreciative of what those same institutions have provided based on many years of very complex evolution. If you want to...

PERCY & FIVE SECOND RULE
Every obstacle can be a great opportunity in life but only if we take ACTION. The problem is that even though we know what action we need to take or what action we need to avoid, our minds will talk us out of it within the first few seconds of thinking aboout it. One way to overcome this weakness...

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT
This is a short introduction in how I got into the rental real estate business. Most great fortunes involve real estate but it can be a hard business as well. The advantage to it is that almost anyone can get real estate and eventually grow wealthy. I did. I could have done it a whole lot better...

GOALS AND ROCK STARS
Setting goals is very important IF they are aligned with your purpose in life. The key is to constantly ask yourself better and better questions. Asking better questions is more important than the answers you may have at the time. Eventually the right questions will get you the answers you need....

DISASTER STRIKES
Taking well thought out risks is essential to success in life. Taking foolish risks with a tremendous potential for harm and only marginal benefits can be a disaster. My father would always say "never take an avoidable risk". This is an example of when I failed to heed that advice and literally...
-
COMPETITION
How do you handle the competition? It is only human nature to want to condemn the other guys as a warning to your potential customer. This is not a good idea. Don't ever do it. Instead point out with specific examples why you are the best choice. Even if the competition may do the same thing,...

HOW TALL ARE YOU?
When I was a young teenager I was self-conscious about my height and as most people do, I tried to compensate for it by making fun of someone who was shorter than myself. That plan backfired one day when I tried to use it on the wrong person. We all increase our stature in life by the Commitments...

RISK, GOLD AND ROLLERSKATES
It is a common weakness among people to assume after some early success that they are indeed experts at the art of business. This leads them to take excessively large Risks that endanger the whole operation and sometimes their own health and wellbeing. Slow and Steady wins the race. When you…

INTIMIDATION
There are many times in life when the thought of trying to achieve against insurmountable odds keeps us from trying at all. We are intimidated by the thought of trying to win at a quest that is way out of our league. So we don't enter the competition. We don't ask for the promotion or start our…

RESPECT PAYS OFF
The old saying "never judge a book by it's cover" is especially true with people. I have learned many times that you never can truly tell what value someone may provide to you now or in the future. You must ALWAYS treat everyone you meet as the most important person you know. Even if it seems...

EDUCATION WHEN ITS RAINING SOUP
All people are in business for themselves. No matter who you are you still have a product or service that you want to sell to someone else. If you are an artist then your product is competing against all other forms of art that consume the public attention. Even if you are giving away money to...

NOT ALL SUCCESS IS SUCCESSFUL
Acquiring a lot of money or fame is not success. These are only tools you can use to build a successful life. Having more tools without the skill or vision of how to use them will not make you a better craftsman. The tools will come naturally to the person who is best able to use them. I give...
