World-Class Wealth Begins with World-Class Thinking

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

Entrepreneurs: The Cockroaches of Business

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

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?

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

World Financial Group vs. Primerica: Which is the Better Opportunity?

After dealing with tens of thousands of associates in both of these companies over the past 20 years as an author/speaker, I’ve formed some strong opinions. In the interest of full disclosure, from 2018 to 2022, I engaged in a spare time experiment with World Financial Group as an associate after writing the only official book on the company, UNAUTHORIZED: The Truth about World Financial Group. I was always curious to see what it would be like in the inside of the opportunity after being a vendor to them for so many years. I have never been an associate with Primerica,

Mental Toughness and Fighting Fair for Couples in Business

Fighting fair with your spouse/business partner is critical for your long-term success in your business and relationship. After being married and in business together for 38 years, we’ve made every stupid mistake a couple can make. The secret, if there is one, is being 100% committed to making it work—whatever it takes. Once you start from there, it’s game on! The upside is you have a life and business partner you can totally trust. In good times and bad, there’s nothing more important than knowing your partner has your back. At the peak of our entrepreneurial life, we had offices in

Critical Thinking on Moderation

Socrates was the original philosopher credited with saying; “all things in moderation”. The Bible has a similar reference. This age-old adage has been passed down through millennia. It’s arguably the most useful piece of advice for happiness ever conceived. Extreme behavior is often the way we mask feelings of inferiority, and it rarely has the effect we’re seeking. The United States is known around the first world as being “success obsessed”, and I think thats a fair criticism. (or compliment?) There’s no denying that our obsession has lead to innovation, invention and prosperity. The evidence supports the claim. But, has this
