Tough Guy?

In my 30+ years in building/operating businesses in 10 countries around the world, I’ve discovered that the rarest of skills is emotional toughness. I’ve worked with SuperBowl Champions, World Series Winners and Olympic Gold Medalists, and only a tiny percentage of them were able to transfer their toughness beyond their sport. It turns out that tough guys (and gals) are hard to find. My new book, due for release in 2019, deals with this issue, and I’m searching for examples of people who have proven they are the real deal. Not big talkers; but big doers. If this is you, watch

Are You Motivated or Inspired?

Coaching Approval Addiction

Have You Planted Your Flag?

When it comes to your career, job or business, are you 100% committed to success? If you were being tried in a court of law for having the work ethic of a self-made millionaire, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

The Entrepreneurs Armour

I was trying to help an old college friend today. I hadn’t heard from him in 20-years. He called this morning and explained that he needed an additional $3 million to retire at age 65, which for him is in 2028. In this 8-minute video, I gave him the best advice I received about making money from the 1,300 millionaires I’ve interviewed since 1984. This is the same psychological technique I’ve used to succeed in the face of 30-years of failures, obstacles, and bad decisions. This Entrepreneurs Armour will withstand the ongoing emotional assault every high achiever is forced to face.

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.

I’ve shared my response to this reporter with audiences around the world in my live events, and today I decided to share it with you via video. If you’re a coach, parent or mentor of any kind, you’re going to want to watch this short

Its as if they possess information that you don’t; or that they are more intelligent in some way. I saw one the other day where some guy is conducting a course on how to me a real man. Seriously? 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.

1300 Self-Made Millionaires

Today I interviewed my 1300th self-made millionaire since 1984. His name is Deron Ferrell, and he’s one of the good guys. In 34 years of conducting these interviews, I’ve seen all kinds of personalities. I’ve seen people go from rags to riches; millionaires lose all of their money, and humble people turn into ego maniacs. Watch this short video as I reflect on the one key ingredient of the best of self-made millionaires and other successful people.
