In the 1990’s, there was a popular book called “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow”. Creative types loved it, while parents and pragmatics loathed it. After all, living your passion is wonderful, but you need money to survive. In the past few decades, this lofty (yet wise) philosophy seems to have shifted to “Go for the money”. I’ve interviewed self-made millionaires for 40 years, and in this short video, I reveal how you can have both.
When facing rejection, do you tend to react more like an adult, or a child? Children are addicted to the approval of other people due to their lack of brain development and emotional maturity, yet many adults suffer from the same addiction. The inability to process rejection relegates even the most gifted adults to lower levels of success and happiness in life. In this short video, I pose a critical thinking question for your consideration. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking
Floridians are whistling past the graveyard. Global warming is making hurricanes more plentiful and dangerous. I’ve lived through 7 of them personally, and they are no joke. Insurance companies are skyrocketing rates or abandoning the state completely, and it’s only a matter of time before banks begin foreclosing on substantially more homeowners for not paying their insurance. I sold all 5 properties we owned in Florida, and have left the state for good. As bad as this disaster will be, savvy investors are going to get richer buying up tens of thousands of foreclosures over the next several years, and I’m
Hundreds of my Facebook followers have been scammed in a hacker-led Facebook/Crypto Currency scam, and Facebook/Meta refuses to help. My Facebook page, which is facebook.com/steve.siebold and facebook.com/speakerstevesiebold was hacked on May 22, and the hackers are using photos of me selling crypto, my 4-year degree in crypto (fake) and DMing my followers to sell them. I’m getting bombarded with victims who have been ripped off, and they think it’s me. I’ve hired hacked.com twice, and they can’t fix it. I’ve contacted both of my senators and congressman, and they have yet to respond. Please don’t buy anything from my Facebook page,
30 years ago I was in bad shape. My world had fallen apart, both personally and professionally. For the first time in my life, I understood the depths of depression. I felt weakened in every way, and I wan’t sure how to navigate this deep, dark existence. Then, by some miracle, a mentor appeared in my life, and he assured me that all was going to be fine, and that he would show me how to accomplish my dreams. He only had one condition, which was once I got to the top of the mountain, I would go back for others
The western world is known for wealth, power, and hedonism. The Romans may have invented it, but we took it the next level. The problem is it doesn’t work. At least not in terms of creating long-term happiness. Extrinsic rewards can be powerful, but they’re usually hollow and fleeting. Science has found a better answer, and that’s what this video is about. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking

After 40-years of interviewing self-made millionaires, one of the most notable differences I discovered about their parenting strategy was their passion around educating their kids. Many of them refuse to rely on the school system, including many of the most elite private schools and universities. They begin actively educating their kids during infancy, and the process continues into adulthood. In this post, I discuss one of their favorite subjects to teach their kids. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking #howrichpeoplethink
Burnout is one of the worst things that can happen (psychologically) to any performer. Studies show that most burnout is caused by overwork and overwhelm, where the performer is putting out maximum effort and receiving a minimum payoff. This issue is superbly addressed in a new book by author Cal Newport called Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment without Burnout. I highly recommend it. In this video post, I offer my best strategy for keeping your mind fresh and full of passion. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking
