Ripple Effect of a Simple Gesture

Could a simple gesture have a positive impact on someones life? Could a series of simple gestures initiated by a large group of people influence an entire culture? Could a massive number of simple gestures positively alter the collective consciousness of the world? I believe it’s possible, and I’ll bet you do, too. In this video I share a simple story that happened a few nights ago in Chicago that I’ll never forget. #personaldevelopment

My Favorite Billionaire Mentor

After 40 years of interviewing self-made millionaires and billionaires, I have a few favorites. Many of the flashy ones were ego-maniacs, but the majority were down-to-earth, genuine people who were easy to talk to and learn from. You’ve probably never heard of the billionaire I discuss on this video, but he changed a lot of lives for the better, including my own. And luckily, he wrote a book that details the system he used to build his empire. This book is old and out print, but if you’re an entreprenuer, do whatever it takes to purchase a used copy. It’s a

Winning the Argument vs. Having the Argument

In civilized discourse, we make the distinction between winning the argument vs. having the argument. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed me to the National Charity Awards Committee, alongside Hollywood legends Merv Griffin, Cheryl Ladd, and Pat Boone. We took the story to the press and were criticized for seemingly promoting the President’s agenda.. Same thing happended with President Obama, and now it’s Trump and Biden.

Billionaires Advice After Losing My Fortune

There’s an old saying among the rich: “it’s easier to live without money if you’ve never had it.” I think that’s true. Financial independence makes for a cushy, comfortable life, and it’s not easy to re-enter the rat race. No matter, that’s what I was forced to do many years ago after earning a small fortune, and I was disheartened and disappointed in myself. After all, I had interviewed hundreds of the world’s wealthiest self-made millionaires and billionaires, and I was the beneficiary of their collective financial wisdom. I employed it and it worked, but after a couple of poor judgement

Critical Thinking on the American Media

I’ve been working with the American media since I started my first business in 1984.

Where My Billionaire Clients Are Investing Their Money

After decades of interviewing over 1,300 of the world’s wealthiest people, I’ve heard every type of investing strategy you can imagine. Everyone seems to have their own system, and few agree on everything.
