Whose Rules Are You Living By?

By Steve Siebold

Are you living by someone else’s rules or by your own? How about the Golden Rule? How about religious doctrine? Do you believe there is an objective morality? Or is morality subjective? The rules we choose to live by determines our moral compass, which determines (hopefully) our behavior. I’ve spoken about this all over the world in the press, and it tends to ignite both passion and anger. The battle to control mankind through the systematic brainwashing of an objective moral code has been going on since the beginning of time, and the sad fact is that the masses are easy

Entrepreneurs: The Cockroaches of Business

By Steve Siebold

Entrepreneurs are my favorite people, and as a professional speaker, my preferred audience. It’s almost impossible to stop a serious, laser-focused entrepreneur on a mission. They refuse to consider how high the odds are stacked against them, and logic has no meaning. In the mind of a dreamer, anything is possible. Like the crafty cockroach, they will sacrfice anything to survive. There’s only one thing that can kill an entrepreneur. It’s their kryptonite, and in this short video, I’ll explain what it is and how to avoid it. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment

Mental Toughness and Forgiveness

By Steve Siebold

Forgiveness is a path to peace. That said, it’s easier said then done. Holding a grudge is usually more painful for the holder than it is for the offender. You’re better of forgiving and letting go. This is almost always good advice. The real question is, should you let the wolf back in the door? In other words, do you leave the offender back into your life? This is a question for the ages, and there’s no easy answer. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, we explore the pros and cons of forgiveness and whether or not to allow

Who Works Harder on the Family Business: You or Your Spouse?

By Steve Siebold

If you’re in business with your spouse, which one of you is the driving force of the company? Do you have set schedules or do you work at your leisure? Is one spouse clearly contributing more, or are your efforts equal? This can be a bone of contention for couples that eventually bleeds into the relationship. Some couples we’ve interviewed seem to navigate this issue with ease, while others struggle and fight for time and effort equality. If you’re considering getting into business with your spouse/significant other, this is an area that should be discussed and agreed upon long before you

World Financial Group vs. Primerica: Which is the Better Opportunity?

By Steve Siebold

After dealing with tens of thousands of associates in both of these companies over the past 20 years as an author/speaker, I’ve formed some strong opinions. In the interest of full disclosure, from 2018 to 2022, I engaged in a spare time experiment with World Financial Group as an associate after writing the only official book on the company, UNAUTHORIZED: The Truth about World Financial Group. I was always curious to see what it would be like in the inside of the opportunity after being a vendor to them for so many years. I have never been an associate with Primerica,

Are You Intimidated?

By Steve Siebold

Many entrepreneurs and salespeople are relegated to modest levels of success due to feelings of intimidation. They want to think big, but often revert back to past programs rooted in survival. Dr. Abraham Maslow, the father of Humanistic Psychology, lectured and wrote about this during the 1950s and 60s, yet not much has changed among the masses when it comes to limiting beliefs.

Mental Toughness and Performing Under Pressure

By Steve Siebold

Performing under pressure requires mental toughness, in other words, emotional control. This is one of the most misunderstood concepts in psychological performance training. Some people believe that mental toughness is something with which we are born. Not true. Mental toughness is something we learn. It requires a foundational understanding of what pressure is, and how to reduce or eliminate it. Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can adjust your thinking to instantly reduce the pressure you’re experiencing. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, I explore the gritty details of how to perform under pressure. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment

Mental Toughness on Farming and Hunting Prospects

By Steve Siebold

Many entrepreneurs and salespeople prefer farming over hunting business. This is is more about mindest than strategy, and in today’s environment, it’s limiting. This is why being mentally tough is critical to your success. The more flooded the field, the more hunting must be employed. You must know your avatar and target it relentlessly before your competition does. This aggressive personal point of view has created more millionaires in the first world than any other. The message is, ‘get tough or get left behind.’ And if you can’t find that mental toughness within you, you’ll need to work for someone who

Mental Toughness and Fighting Fair for Couples in Business

By Steve Siebold

Fighting fair with your spouse/business partner is critical for your long-term success in your business and relationship. After being married and in business together for 38 years, we’ve made every stupid mistake a couple can make. The secret, if there is one, is being 100% committed to making it work—whatever it takes. Once you start from there, it’s game on! The upside is you have a life and business partner you can totally trust. In good times and bad, there’s nothing more important than knowing your partner has your back. At the peak of our entrepreneurial life, we had offices in
