New Year’s Resolutions Rarely Work
New Years Resolutions rarely work, and when they fail, they can create more problem than of they weren’t made in the first place. In the video below, I discuss why they don’t work, and what can be done to set actual goals that will be reached every time. To download the PDF mentioned in the […]
Is Knowing What To Do Enough?
Do you make a new year’s resolution to lose weight or go to the gym? Do you actually reach those goals? This is a prime example of knowing what to do, but not staying motivated to actually do it. Intellectually, we all know eating healthy foods and exercising is the key to losing weight, yet […]
The Secret Weapon of High-Achievers
High achievers – in both the online and the corporate world – generally have positive attitudes, know how to take action, and know how to ask for help. They are also not afraid to bring in coaches or mentors to help them improve their leadership and planning skills. Who wants to be around pessimistic people? […]
Do You Have a Business or a Hobby?
Online business owners – of all types, from affiliate marketers to store owners to coaches – can easily “open their doors for business” without a firm business plan in place. Some may test the waters to see if they attract any clients and some start out doing this online work as a side gig while […]
Use Competition To Your Advantage
The world is built, to some extent, on the concept of competition. Everything living competes for specific resources that are needed to grow, thrive and outperform ecological rivals. Sunlight, space, water and nutrients are utilized to fullest extent by the smallest to largest creatures wherever they are found and in whatever quantities. As human beings, […]

At the risk (pun intended) of following one old saying with another, without risk there is not, and cannot be, any reward. There is an element of chance inherent in every venture, and […]
Personal Confidence Creates Professional Success
Nothing succeeds like success, right? Simple, but accurate. However, true success comes from confidence, and confidence, in turn, comes from success. They revolve around each other, in a truly symbiotic relationship. However, this is not a “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” kind of scenario. Confidence precedes success. We know this, because the quiet assurance […]
Professional Success Requires Persistence
Ok, let’s talk about persistence. For starters, how many old sayings, aphorisms and clichés are there about persistence? Here are just a few: The early bird gets the worm. Slow and steady wins the race. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. The list goes […]
Being Mindful Within Your Business
Experience is a great teacher. Each day, all of our lives are jam packed with numerous experiences. Many of these experiences are everyday occurrences. Others are less common. Occasionally, some are so unique that they are literally life changing. However, every experience, whether mundane or fantastic, can offer us a teaching moment. Most of us […]
Success Requires Flexibility
There is nothing more stifling to success than rigid thinking. Rigid thinking leads to rigid behaviors, and rigid behaviors lead to dead ends, blind alleys and creative cul de sacs.
