How Mental Toughness Works
A few years ago I got a call from TIME Magazine. The reporter said; “were doing a story on you, and I want to know how you make people mentally tough in your speeches and seminars?” I was shocked. After all, this was TIME magazine, and I expected a better question from such a credible source.

Living Your Way
One of the things that drives me nuts about personal development gurus; religious leaders, life coaches, psychologists and other advice-based experts is when they tell you how your should live your life.

The audacity of some of these people is only exceeded my the size of their own egos. Watch this short (2:47) video about living on your terms and being happy.

Watch this short video as I reflect on the one key ingredient of the best of self-made millionaires and other successful people.
Making Mentally Tough Decisions
How decisive are you? Do you make decisions quickly with confidence or do you have a hard time deciding what to have for dinner?

Watch this short video (3-minutes) I recorded in the Guitar Room at the Mansion, and I’ll look forward to your comments.
Mentally Tough Attitude?
Do you have a mentally tough, world-class attitude, or do you allow your mind to shift on the emotions of the moment? Attitude is a simple yet powerful force. It can be our greatest asset or worst enemy. It’s a choice we make moment-to-moment, and it requires self-discipline to maintain an attitude that serves our best interests. Watch this short video (3-minutes) and I’ll look forward to your comments.
Lighten Up, Francis!
I’m in final rehearsals for upcoming 8-city Mental Toughness speech and media tour, and one of the questions I get the most is around reducing stress. On this tour, I’ll be closing all of my speeches with a story about a client we had years ago on Wall Street.
