Imagine Living an Unrestricted Existence

There’s an elite subculture amongst the world’s population that has either earned or has been granted unlimited freedom to live life on their own terms. It’s not for everyone. To even have a legitimate shot at it, you must know exactly what you want, what you’re willing to do to get it, and what you’re willing to sacrifice along the way. If you’re addicted to the approval of other people, you will fail. You must value your own philosophy of living above all others, and be willing to accept the harsh criticism of the masses. That said, if you can make

Did You Get What You Wanted?

Did you get what you expected out of life? Are you happy with the goals and dreams you’ve achieved? If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently? On a scale of 1-7, 7 being most satisfied, how satisfied are you with your life? Self-exploration is not about judgment, it’s about taking stock of your life. In this video, I pose some simple questions for your consideration. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking

Winning the Argument vs. Having the Argument

In civilized discourse, we make the distinction between winning the argument vs. having the argument. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed me to the National Charity Awards Committee, alongside Hollywood legends Merv Griffin, Cheryl Ladd, and Pat Boone. We took the story to the press and were criticized for seemingly promoting the President’s agenda.. Same thing happended with President Obama, and now it’s Trump and Biden. If ‘winning the argument’ is the goal, civilized discourse is compromised. The goal should be ‘having the argument’ where both sides learn for the purpose of cultivating a superior solution.

Critical Thinking on the American Media

I’ve been working with the American media since I started my first business in 1984. I’ve been interviewed thousands of times and appeared on every major television and radio show in the United States, including the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN Headline News, etc. I was a regular guest on Fox Business Network with Stuart Varney for years, appearing dozens of times. My last 300 TV interviews can be seen viewed at www.steveontv.com. The point is that I’ve worked with thousands of journalists, hosts, reporters, producers, network, newspaper and magazine executives, over decades, and in this :59 video, I’ll tell

What Does Success Mean to You?

As a couple working together in business, what does success mean to you? How do you define success as a couple? It’s critical that you’re both on the same page and you’re moving toward the same goals and dreams. This sounds easier than it actually is. In this episode of the Success, Money Marriage podcast, young Dawn and I dissect this important subject. #couplesinbusiness #personaldevelopment #marriage #success

Mental Toughness on Controlling Your Life

If you woke up and went to work today because you wanted to, you’re in control of money. If you woke up and went to work today because you needed to, money is in control of you. Unfortunately, even in the richest country in the world, 95% of the population is struggling financially, and as a result, is under control of an individual or organization. Even many of the social media show-offs standing next to their helicopters and private jets are living with massive debt. The good news is that there’s a way to buy back control of your time and

Critical Thinking on Multi-Level/Network Marketing

Multilevel marketing, or Network Marketing, has been around for over 80 years, and has generated countless billions of dollars in sales around the world. It’s opponents have thrown every legal argument out to prove that the marketing concept is actually a pyramid scheme, and they have failed. MLM is certainly misunderstood, yet it’s a proven, legal, ethical method of marketing that’s created both part-time and full-time businesses for millions of people. So why do so many people hate it? Why is there is so much disinformation about it? The short answer is because most people fail at Network Marketing, and it’s

Overcoming Emotional Overwhelm

This is the death trap of high performance, where dreams go to die. So you’ve got this big goal that requires multiple steps over an extended period of time. It all seems so overwhelming, so you become paralyzed and never begin. This is emotional overwhelm, and there are so many examples of how this phenomenon derails even the most mentally tough performers. COVID-19 was an example of a mass event that shut down the world, leaving billions of people frozen in fear and unable to move forward. The retirement crisis is another example. Millions of retirees in the United States have

Mental Toughness and Compartmentalization

Emotional compartmentalization is one of the most important psychological coping skills you can possess. Compartmentalization is the ability to segment your thoughts and emotions into air tight psychological boxes for the purpose of being able to direct your mental energy towards the task at hand, without interference. This is not something with which you are born; it’s something you learn. It’s a skill that requires practice and discipline, but once built, will serve you your entire life, both personally and professionally. Compartmentalization is a major component of mental toughness training that’s rarely discussed outside of professional sports. In this episode of

World-Class Wealth Begins with World-Class Thinking

One of the most important aspects of success coaching is helping people understand the mindset of the self-made rich. An excess of money may not make you any happier, but being financially independent allows you to control your own life and live on your own terms. Sadly, only a small percentage of people ever experience the freedom of financial independence, even in the wealthiest countries in the world. It’s not taught in schools and only those who achieve it seem to understand it. In this video, I discuss chapter two of my book, 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World-Class, and
