Die Fat or Get Tough: 101 Differences in Thinking Between Fat People and Fit People

I’ve just written the most controversial book of my career: Die Fat or Get Tough, 101 Differences in Thinking Between Fat People and Fit People, which was just released in ebook format. (The printed softcover will be out in July 2009) If you are 10 or more pounds overweight and ready to get fit, this book may be the answer. We’re getting feedback from all over the world from people who are shocked with the approach of this book, and many of them said they were offended but couldn’t disagree with anything I wrote. Dr. Joe Vitale, co-star of The Secret,

9 Million Millionaires Can’t Be Wrong

While the masses in the United States are worried about gas and food prices, the world class is getting richer. There are now 9 million millionaires in the USA, and their average net worth will increase again this year. Private jet sales are up 34% in 2008, and the top 400 American tax payers will pay an average of 240 million in 2008 taxes. Clearly, the rich are going to get richer in 2008, no matter how many people claim the sky is falling. Are these people smarter than you and I? Are they more educated?

Siebold’s LIVE Television Interview Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 9pm Eastern

I 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.

Great fortunes are made during tough economic times, but only by mentally tough world class thinkers.

These people refuse to allow fear to hold them back. Their consciousness is rooted in love

The Catholic Church in Chicago’s Example of a Total Lack of Mental Toughness

What 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.

The Mental Toughness Cure for Either/Or Syndrome

One 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
