Building a World-Class Network

The most successful people have the largest networks of powerful people who can help them. While the average person is randomly passing out business cards and enduring endless networking mixers, the smartest business people target the rich and powerful in an attempt infiltrate their inner circle. This is not to be confused with social climbing or using people. It’s done with the sole purpose of a developing a long-term, symbiotic relationship with people who have substantial contacts, credibility, and influence in the marketplace. Neither life nor business is a level playing field, and the most strategic people end up winning most

Steve Siebold on FOX News

The media has really taken to my new book, How Rich People Think. In the last 5 days I’ve been interviewed on FOX, CBS, NBC, and ABC. I’ll be crisscrossing the country for the next 6-months doing TV interviews, then heading over to the UK and Australia for more. Notice the kinds of questions the interviewers ask, and it will give you an idea how most people think about money. The recession has created even more fear, which will lead people to make short-term decisions with their money that will generate small returns. Now is the time to THINK BIG and

Do You Think Like a Millionaire?

I started interviewing millionaires in 1984. For the last 26-years, I’ve chased them from Palm Beach to Aspen, and their advice changed my life. My new book, How Rich People Think, came out yesterday, and is already creating a stir in the national media. Yesterday I was interviewed on FOX in Orlando, NBC in Tampa, and today I’m on CBS in Chicago. If you ever dreamed of being rich, PLEASE study this book. It’s 200+ pages of pure content. There are no stories. This is a study guide on the differences in thinking between the middle class and world class, and

Why Your First Million is the Toughest

The first million is the hardest to make, but not for the reason most people think. Most people say it’s because it takes money to make money, and once you have a million, you can use it to make the next million. While this is technically true, it’s not the reason most millionaires cite.

Not to mention the fact that many people in your inner circle will laugh and ridicule you

Bob Proctor’s Crazy Advice

Back in 1996, I got a late night phone call from Bob Proctor, the professional speaking legend and co-star of the hit movie, The Secret. This was the single craziest phone call I had ever had, and it turned out to be one of the most important. Bob’s advice was so outrageous it almost seemed funny. I followed it out of respect for Bob, not knowing it would catapult my consciousness and forever alter the way I approached my career. Watch this short video from my TV show, Mental Toughness with Steve Siebold, as I share this story. I hope it

Million-Dollar Strategy

Of all the mental toughness strategies I’ve learned and taught over the past 26 years, this is one of my all-time favorites. The millionaires I’ve interviewed all agree on one thing: world-class success requires world-class focus, to the point where your goal becomes a healthy obsession you think about 24/7. This post is a personal example of how my wife and I used a classic mental toughness strategy to make a dream come true. We’ve used this strategy to generate millions of dollars over the past few years, and I have to admit that I’m still in awe of the idea

What’s Your Excuse?

I just spoke at the convention for Deaf business owners, and I kept asking myself the same critical thinking question: What’s my excuse? These people are deaf and they’re building empires!
