The Ultimate Critical Thinking Question

There are 1,068 critical thinking questions in the Mental Toughness University curriculum, and in terms of getting what you want out of life, this is the ultimate. If you can answer yes to this question, you’re probably headed toward a world-class existence. If not, it’s never too late to change. Watch this short video I shot in the rain forest in Lake Arenal, Costa Rica. I’ll look forward to your comments. (and thanks to everyone who weighed in with such passion on the last post from Costa Rica. Another spirited (but respectful) debate. Steve Siebold (2:12) [media id=172]

What’s Holding You Back?

Have you ever wondered what’s holding you back from succeeding in specific areas of your life? I know I have, and I found at least one solution that’s seems to work. Watch this short video and I’ll look forward to your comments. P.S. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the robust discussion on the Mormon post.

Can a Mormon be Elected President?

Mitt Romney is the GOP front runner at this point in the pre-election season, but many people are questioning whether or not a Mormon can be elected to the highest office in the land.

It’s time for America to grow up emotionally on social issues and start focusing on the business of the country. Watch

Companies will continue moving to non-union states because of the ridiculous wages they are forced to pay union workers. I’ve been physically threatened by union workers for not hiring them in Seattle, Cleveland and Chicago, and this mob mentality has got to go. The 20th century is over and it’s time to abolish unions. Watch this short video I taped in Madison, Wisconsin, where the issue of collective bargaining has reached fever pitch. I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve

Your Success Philosophy

In personal development we talk a lot about beliefs, but the truth is beliefs are often rooted in our core philosophy. Many of us adopt the philosophy of our parents, teachers, religious leaders, coaches and others of influence in childhood. Sometimes this is good but more often it’s limiting. Watch this short video on tracking your philosophical influence and I’ll look forward to your comments. Steve Siebold (2:14) [media id=157]

Should Government Control Your Body?

As an American citizen, I’m embarrassed to tell my friends and colleagues overseas that our government believes it has the right to tell us what we can and can’t do with our own bodies. As a mental toughness coach to some of the largest sales teams in the world, I find it downright offensive. I just gave a speech in Washington, DC and and an interview on FOX, and it got me thinking of how childish and hypocritical some of these laws are. Example: You can drink alcohol until it kills you but smoking pot is illegal. If you’re terminally ill
