Stop Caring

The most debilitating addiction is not booze, drugs or sex. It’s the addiction to the approval of other people. The reality is that few people care about what we do, whom we marry or which profession we pursue. They’re busy enough worrying about their own problems to invest any meaningful amount of time judging ours. Yet in 30+ years of building businesses, delivering speeches, writing books and coaching people in psychological performance, I’ve found the primary obstacle people face is an obscure obsession with being liked, loved and respected by others, some of whom they don’t know or even like. The

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?

Are you motivated to achieve your goals, or are you inspired? Most people don’t know the difference, including most coaches. This is one of the fundamental distinctions between average and 7-figure coaches. You ever wonder why Nick Saban, coach of Alabama football, earns $11 million per year while the average high school football coach in the state of Alabama earns less than $50K?

Coaching Approval Addiction

Coaching people to overcome their emotional addiction to the approval of others is one of the most powerful things you can do. I’ve spoken on this subject all over the world, in the media, and in books, and it always generates big interest–especially from salespeople, entrepreneurs and recruiters. On September 17, 2018, we’re kicking off a 12-week online certification course that will teach you step-by-step how to coach people through this process. Watch this video for more details.

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? After 34-years and 1,300 interviews with millionaires and billionaires, I’ve learned that world-class commitment and work ethic are non-negotiable. Watch this short video (3:55) and I’ll look forward to your comments.

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.

Becoming Financially Independent

I get emails and messages every day from people asking how to become financially independent. They’ve usually read one or more of my books and are looking for the missing ingredient to their success with money. This is my first post in a series that addresses this topic. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but after conducting over 1,300 face-to-face interviews with the self-made rich since 1984, I’ve collected an amazing array of helpful hints. Publications like the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Forbes Magazines, CNBC and many others around the world contact me a regular basis for this 34-years
