The Power of Negative Thinking

By Steve Siebold

Back the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale popularized the phrase, The Power of Positive Thinking. It was later the title of his best selling book, which sold over 15 million copies and started an international movement. Dr. Peale was correct: positive thinking is a powerful concept. What’s often left out of the positive thinking discussion is the inverse, which is the power of negative thinking. Positive thinking will make you happy and successful. Negative thinking will save your life. They’re both powerful. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, we dissect this concept and make the argument

The Most Misunderstood Strategy in Performance Psychology

By Steve Siebold

The field of Performance Psychology has come a long way since its inception in the 1970’s. As a national junior tennis player, I was involved in this process from the beginning. It had an immediate impact on my performance, and gave me a level of peace of mind off the court that I had never experienced before. Over the past 50 years, the field has evolved and is widely considered a standard aspect of modern-day athletic training in the world of Olympic and Professional Sports. Big business has been slower to adopt this mental toughness/high performance training, but some of the

World-Class Wealth Begins with World-Class Thinking

By Steve Siebold

One of the most important aspects of success coaching is helping people understand the mindset of the self-made rich. An excess of money may not make you any happier, but being financially independent allows you to control your own life and live on your own terms. Sadly, only a small percentage of people ever experience the freedom of financial independence, even in the wealthiest countries in the world. It’s not taught in schools and only those who achieve it seem to understand it. In this video, I discuss chapter two of my book, 177 Mental Toughness Secrets of the World-Class, and

Think for Yourself

By Steve Siebold

Many years ago, as an author, I promised myself that once I became financially independent, I would write the book I always wanted to write, regardless of the clients I might lose or the hate mail I might receive. in 2012, I fulfilled this promise, and as expected, the junvenile mentality of the masses led thousands of my fans to threaten, scold and abandon me and my books. The book I wrote; Sex Politics and Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Destroying America, received tons of press, yet produced lackuster sales. I wasn’t surprised, and I didn’t care. I had studied the

Do You Think Like a Millionaire?

By Steve Siebold

As cheesy as this question might sound, it shouldn’t be discounted. Non-linear, millionaire thinking is a serious process that creates significant results. And it’s not just about money; it’s about getting what you want out of life in an expedited fashion. In 2010, I wrote a book called How Rich People Think, which was based on over 1,000 interviews with self-made millionaires and billionaires conducted face-to-face since 1984. The concepts in this book serve as a roadmap to success. These ideas aren’t taught in school. To the contrary, they are often discredited among academics who don’t understand them. The proof is

Whose Rules Are You Living By?

By Steve Siebold

Are you living by someone else’s rules or by your own? How about the Golden Rule? How about religious doctrine? Do you believe there is an objective morality? Or is morality subjective? The rules we choose to live by determines our moral compass, which determines (hopefully) our behavior. I’ve spoken about this all over the world in the press, and it tends to ignite both passion and anger. The battle to control mankind through the systematic brainwashing of an objective moral code has been going on since the beginning of time, and the sad fact is that the masses are easy

Entrepreneurs: The Cockroaches of Business

By Steve Siebold

Entrepreneurs are my favorite people, and as a professional speaker, my preferred audience. It’s almost impossible to stop a serious, laser-focused entrepreneur on a mission. They refuse to consider how high the odds are stacked against them, and logic has no meaning. In the mind of a dreamer, anything is possible. Like the crafty cockroach, they will sacrfice anything to survive. There’s only one thing that can kill an entrepreneur. It’s their kryptonite, and in this short video, I’ll explain what it is and how to avoid it. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment

Mental Toughness and Forgiveness

By Steve Siebold

Forgiveness is a path to peace. That said, it’s easier said then done. Holding a grudge is usually more painful for the holder than it is for the offender. You’re better of forgiving and letting go. This is almost always good advice. The real question is, should you let the wolf back in the door? In other words, do you leave the offender back into your life? This is a question for the ages, and there’s no easy answer. In this episode of the Mental Toughness Podcast, we explore the pros and cons of forgiveness and whether or not to allow

Who Works Harder on the Family Business: You or Your Spouse?

By Steve Siebold

If you’re in business with your spouse, which one of you is the driving force of the company? Do you have set schedules or do you work at your leisure? Is one spouse clearly contributing more, or are your efforts equal? This can be a bone of contention for couples that eventually bleeds into the relationship. Some couples we’ve interviewed seem to navigate this issue with ease, while others struggle and fight for time and effort equality. If you’re considering getting into business with your spouse/significant other, this is an area that should be discussed and agreed upon long before you
