Siebold’s LIVE Television Interview Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 9pm Eastern
June 23rd, 2008I hope you’ll tune in to my live interview on the professional speaking business this Tuesday, June 24. Jeff Herring will be interviewing me about what some people have called the world’s highest paid profession: Professional Public Speaking. I’m not sure if it’s the highest paid or not, but I can tell you President Bill Clinton has earned $109 million in speaking fees since he left office. Even non-celebrity business speakers like me can earn a a seven-figure income expressing your expertise on a subject that solves a problem for an organization. If you’re a speaker, you’ll want to tune in to find out how to make more money. If you’re not a speaker, tune in to see how you can get started. This interview will be broadcast live from the lovely shores of Lake Lanier, just north of Atlanta, via the Internet. This is the future, my friends! Forget NBC and CBS. Internet Television narrowcasts to niche markets on micro niche subjects like professional public speaking. I just wish the great Bill Gove (the father of professional speaking) was around to see this! You can email questions I’ll answer on the show by going to www.articleguyaudioguycafe.com This is also where the show will be broadcast. See you Tuesday night! Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS
Get Mentally Tough During Tight Economic Times
June 16th, 2008As the U.S. copes with a light recession, fear based middle class thinking has swept the consciousness of the masses. This is not for you! Great fortunes are made during tough economic times, but only by mentally tough world class thinkers. While most people are tightening up on spending and sitting on their savings like a mother hen on her eggs, the great ones are getting richer by taking advantage of the incredible buying opportunities that are only available during the down cycle of an economy. These people refuse to allow fear to hold them back. Their consciousness is rooted in love and abundance, and all they see is potential and opportunity. If you want to know how they do it, listen to this post. Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS ( 5:30 )
The Catholic Church in Chicago’s Example of a Total Lack of Mental Toughness
June 3rd, 2008What the heck is happening with the leadership of the catholic church in Chicago? First we had Rev. Wright spouting anti-American hate to his Trinty Church flock, and the rest of the world (including our enemies) thanks to YouTube and the mass media. This so called “Spiritual Leader” saying “God Damn America.” and accusing the Government of all kinds of crazy things. My response to Rev. Wright is ” You can leave any time. If you want to spew hatred as a so-called spiritual leader go do it somewhere else. Now we have ANOTHER Catholic Rev. ( Wrights buddy) in Rev. Michael Pfleger. This guy has a bigger EGO than Rev. Wright! Both of these EGO-driven upper class thinkers are abusing their power with an audience of people who lack the education and judgement to recognize an left wing egomaniac with a white collar and tremendous oratory skills. These are representives of Jesus Christ? I wonder how Jesus would respond to Rev. Pfleger mocking Hillary Clinton? This is an agent of love and tolerance? I hope the catholic church gets its act together and kicks these ego driven power abusers out. They’re poisening the minds of people all over the world and empowering our enemies when were in the middle of a war! Allowing these so-called men of the cloth to continue shows a total lack of restraint and mental toughness from the church. All this is going to do is drive more people away from God. This is just another example of man-made religion gone bad. What a shame. Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS
The Mental Toughness Cure for Either/Or Syndrome
May 28th, 2008One of the deadly thought diseases of the middle class mindset is what I call Either/Or syndrome. This is the belief (usually programmed into us as children and reinforced in academia) that says you cannot have your cake and eat it, too. Of course sometimes this is true, which reinforces the global belief that it’s ‘always true’. World class thinkers start with the assumption they can have it all, and it often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Since mental toughness is about critical thinking, this demands all possibilities be considered in the belief development process. Is it possible to be financially independent and still have a great family life? Is it possible to enjoy the foods you eat and still be thin and healthy? Is it possible to take risks and still have peace of mind? The questions surrounding either/or syndrome are endless, and the results of adopting the habit of questioning yourself can be life changing. The most important critical thinking question to consider when falling into the either/or syndrome trap is; “Am I sure I can’t have both?” I’ll look forward to your comments.

Mental Toughness and The Middle Class Demonization of the Pharmaceutical Industry
May 15th, 2008No other industry in America has been demonized more than the pharmaceutical industry. The middle class loves to criticize pharma companies for high prices and the commercialization of life saving and extending drugs and vaccines…UNTIL someone they LOVE gets sick. That’s when they rely on pharmaceutical companies to make them or their loved ones well. This is a classic example of middle class thinking and a severe lack of mental toughness. Pharmaceutical sales people are not only some of the finest professionals in selling, they are also some of the most caring I’ve ever worked with at Mental Toughness University. They are the most misunderstood and under appreciated sales people in business today. Listen to this post and I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS ( 6:20 )
Hillary Clinton Schools Washington in Mental Toughness
May 9th, 2008Hillary Clinton just won’t quit. According to the political pundits, Barrack Obama has all but locked up the nomination, yet the former first lady refuses to surrender. Love or hate her, I think you have to agree this woman has extraordinary mental toughness. Her never say die attitude shows through more and more as this primary season drags on and on. I’m not even mentally tough enough to keep watching it! Politics and personalities aside, Clinton’s laser-like mental focus on her lifelong dream is a real life Rocky Balboa story. I saw former Clinton administration advisor Dick Morris on Fox news tonight, and he chuckled when someone suggested Hillary might concede any time soon. Morris, who slams his former bosses as often as possible, said Hillary’s soul purpose for the last 20 years has been to become the first female president, and predicted she would fight on until she’s forced to quit. Being the political junkie I am, I have to admit that Mrs. Clinton, like the former president, does seem willing to say and do anything to win. I probably won’t vote for her because I think she loves the idea of being President more than she loves America. In the Mental Toughness University program , we would classify Hillary Clinton and the former President as upper class thinkers rather than world class. That being said, you have to give both of them credit for their outstanding achievments. No matter what happens in the Democratic primary, you can bet Hillary Clinton will be back for another round. Just like Rocky. ( 5: 19) Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS
Mental Toughness Training will make you Thin and Healthy
May 6th, 2008There’s no better example of delusional thinking than weight loss. What was once a socially acceptable problem has turned into an American epidemic. Getting fat is literally killing people by the millions, and robbing millions more of the healthy and vibrant life they deserve. The bad news is Madison Avenue has learned how to capitalize on the masses delusional thinking in this area. They run ads that say getting fat isn’t our fault, and present weight loss as a complex biochemical process that only their pill, potion, or program can solve…and people buy it by the truckload. The good news is you don’t need any of them to get thin and healthy. All you need is mental toughness. Losing and maintaining your ideal weight is a two step process anyone can master. I’ll look forward to hearing your comments on this post. Steve Siebold, CSP, CPCS
