Imagine Living an Unrestricted Existence

By Steve Siebold

There’s an elite subculture amongst the world’s population that has either earned or has been granted unlimited freedom to live life on their own terms. It’s not for everyone. To even have a legitimate shot at it, you must know exactly what you want, what you’re willing to do to get it, and what you’re willing to sacrifice along the way. If you’re addicted to the approval of other people, you will fail. You must value your own philosophy of living above all others, and be willing to accept the harsh criticism of the masses. That said, if you can make

How Ambitious Are You?

By Steve Siebold

On the psychological scale of 1-7, 7 being most ambitious, how ambitious are you? Ambition is an interesting form of human energy, fueled by emotion and guided by logic. Your level of ambition dictates your expectations, which is why it’s critical that you rate yourself accurately. When ambition and expectation are asymmetrical; confusion, disappointment and unhappiness can occur. This is common complaint among high achievers who rate themselves a 6 or 7 but are truly only a 4 or 5. It’s frustrating when you’re not getting the results you’re expecting. Watch this short video, and evaluate yourself as objectively as possible

By Steve Siebold

After 40 years of interviews with self-made millionaires, there’s one piece of advice rich these people give their kids that they HATE to hear. In my book, Secrets Self-Made Millionaires Teach Their Kids, I dedicate Chapter 159 to this sage, yet loathed piece of wisdom. Teenage boys hate it the most, but later in life, when they become wealthy and powerful, they tend to appreciate it more than anything their parents ever taught them.

Winning the Argument vs. Having the Argument

By Steve Siebold

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.

Jack Welch on Mentally Tough Leadership

By Steve Siebold

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

By Steve Siebold

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
