Why Bill Maher is important for America

By Steve Siebold

While I didn’t agree with many of Maher’s views on politics, sex, and religion, I was impressed with his insights and level of critical thinking.

Tennis Legend Rod Laver’s Advice to Steve Siebold

By Steve Siebold

I was speaking down in Melbourne, Australia recently at a hotel next to Rod Laver Arena, home of the Australian Open Tennis Championships. I had the rare opportunity to trade shots with Mr. Laver back in 1977, and he gave me a piece of advice I’ve never forgotten. Rod Laver is considered one of the best tennis players that ever lived, and he’s regarded as a national treasure in his native Australia. In between speeches, my wife Dawn and I took a tour of Rod Laver Arena and filmed this short video to share Rod Laver’s wisdom with you. Steve Siebold

Get Mentally Tough During Tight Economic Times

By Steve Siebold

As the U.S. copes with a light recession, fear based middle class thinking has swept the consciousness of the masses. This is not for you! Great fortunes are made during tough economic times, but only by mentally tough world class thinkers. While most people are tightening up on spending and sitting on their savings like a mother hen on her eggs, the great ones are getting richer by taking advantage of the incredible buying opportunities that are only available during the down cycle of an economy. These people refuse to allow fear to hold them back. Their consciousness is rooted in love
