Did You Get What You Wanted?

Did you get what you expected out of life? Are you happy with the goals and dreams you’ve achieved? If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently? On a scale of 1-7, 7 being most satisfied, how satisfied are you with your life? Self-exploration is not about judgment, it’s about taking stock of your life. In this video, I pose some simple questions for your consideration. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness #criticalthinking

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. If ‘winning the argument’ is the goal, civilized discourse is compromised. The goal should be ‘having the argument’ where both sides learn for the purpose of cultivating a superior solution.

Secrets Self-Made Millionaires Teach Their Kids about Work

After interviewing over 1,300 self-made millionaires since 1984, I wrote a book called Secrets Self-Made Millionaires Teach Their Kids.

Jack Welch on Mentally Tough Leadership

Years ago I was speaking at a coporate convention at Caesers Palace in Las Vegas with the late, great Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric. I was in the process of doing turnarounds for Johnson & Johnson with our mental toughness process, and I asked him for advice while we were backstage in the green room. After all, in those days Welch was regarded by many on Wall Street as the greatest turnaround specialist in corporate America. In this video, I share the simple, yet powerful advice he gave that I used over the next 20+ years. #mentaltoughness #personaldevelopment #jackwelch

Mental Toughness on Overcoming Jealousy

Jealousy is the thief of happiness. Experiencing strong negative emotions toward someone else for what they have (and you’re missing) is a formula for misery, and yet we all allow it to grab us from time-to-time. Luckily, there’s a simple psychological hack known as “compersion”, which has the power to drastically reduce and even eliminate the strongest feelings of jealousy. In this post, I discuss an interview I conducted in 2011 with Dr. Deborah Anapol, one of the leading authorities on this subject. Her e-book, “Compersion: Meditations on Using Jealously as a Path to Unconditional Love” is the best book I’ve

Mental Toughness on Controlling Your Life

If you woke up and went to work today because you wanted to, you’re in control of money. If you woke up and went to work today because you needed to, money is in control of you. Unfortunately, even in the richest country in the world, 95% of the population is struggling financially, and as a result, is under control of an individual or organization. Even many of the social media show-offs standing next to their helicopters and private jets are living with massive debt. The good news is that there’s a way to buy back control of your time and

Critical Thinking on Multi-Level/Network Marketing

Multilevel marketing, or Network Marketing, has been around for over 80 years, and has generated countless billions of dollars in sales around the world. It’s opponents have thrown every legal argument out to prove that the marketing concept is actually a pyramid scheme, and they have failed. MLM is certainly misunderstood, yet it’s a proven, legal, ethical method of marketing that’s created both part-time and full-time businesses for millions of people. So why do so many people hate it? Why is there is so much disinformation about it? The short answer is because most people fail at Network Marketing, and it’s

Mental Toughness on Sex

In 2012, I wrote a book called “Sex. Politics Religion: How Delusional Thinking is Detroying America.” It was covered and reviewed on ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN, not to mention dozens of magazines. Of the 12 books I’ve written, with almost 2 million copies sold, this is my BEST book, but NOT my best seller. It’s the book I promised myself I’d write once I had enough money. In this video, I discuss the chapter on sex, and how puritanical American culture has buried this subject and contributed to the ignorance of our society. #personaldevelopment #mentaltoughness
