My with, Claudia, and I just made it back from a conference in Chicago on internet marketing. We had a great time meeting new people and attending the great seminars. Not to mention, we had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with one of our mentors, Dan Miller.

One of the things we realized once again on this trip was the value of meeting people in person. Blogs and social media are great and all, but your relationships and opportunities strengthen and grow when you share a cup…

There once was a man who, in his mid-20’s, found himself dug into a trench; doing the same type of work for roughly the same day’s pay, for six straight years.

An older man, a man who would later become his mentor, walked up to him and asked,”How come…

Does fear of failure keep you from doing something meaningful?

Perhaps, it's really fear of success. Many people are comfortable with not taking risk. After all, how would you handle success?

Fear of failure or is it fear of…

We often make decisions based on fear. When faced with a choice between comfort and uneasiness, we tend to side with comfort. Making that decision isn't necessarily correct or safe; it just appears to be less troublesome to our emotions. A child learns this at a young age and is able to manipulate a parent into seeing the desired outcome.

Most people drowning in debt would be stressed out. Panic would be the normal agenda. Granted, the day I was informed of the bad news my head was spinning at times. But the relief to finally have the opportunity to develop my own business overshadows debt at the moment.

How many times have you had one of those: "wish I would've thought about that idea" moments? Or the times you've thought about a new idea, never acted upon it, only to discover later someone else initiated the same thought and became highly successful. The failure to act, take a risk or perhaps our financial capital limits our capabilities to

What if we gave you the tools to change the world?

What if you suddenly realized you have the ability and permission to do the impossible?

We see people in the workplace going through the motions, completing task after given task. A few of those folks take the time to add value to their work while most just see the cycle of repetition as a means to receive the next paycheck. Sometimes it's due to an overworked environment and less than optimal staffing; other times it's a case of employees accepting mediocrity.

Our eyes observe all sorts of activity daily in our surrounding. Choices are constantly marketed as we drive, walk, or journey through media channels. We are so busy ingesting the messages, we often don't think to use our own imagination or envision a possibility towards the future. Visionaries like Zig Ziglar, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs are few and far between.

Several days ago, I wrote a blog about the apparent political choices inducing a negative outcome between government, employers and employees. The day after the election some companies began to introduce massive layoffs and/ or the reduction of full-time jobs with benefits. I failed to cover some obvious positive possibilities during that blog due to time constraints. So let's talk about the upside to another seemingly down-economy.…

Since I stumbled upon this nugget of wisdom from Mr. Zig Ziglar, I have often used it to promote others through my writing. My first book was based on this philosophy. I wouldn't be surprised if the next book is written for someone special or the audience attached to that person.

Whether you are seeking a new career, job, or starting a new business a strategic breakdown of any goal makes anything possible, but let’s take it back to the underlining motivation that causes a strategic breakdown to even form.

Dreams are only dreams until someone decides to start deliberately living it out, but yet we still need dreams.

Visions in the sky are only visions, but without them we have no direction to move towards.…

While attending a funeral, I spoke with the Pastor prior to the services. We discussed the importance of the power of belief in our fellow man. The value of belief can be unmeasurable and is magnified throughout history in stories of success with life changing results . Here is one example of the powerful lesson of…

I am a work in progress. I'm not perfect. I don't know that I'll ever be. But I have a path towards continual improvement, and I am 100% Authentically Me!

I believe unemployment is none other than someone’s state of mind. When you say you’re unemployed, you are saying you’re dependent upon someone giving you a job.
