I gotta get this out there for all you wannabe entrepreneurs. Here is a quick experiential learning exercise for all of you thinking about going into business for yourself. If you can make it through this exercise for one week I personally GUARANTEE you that entrepreneurial ism is right for you. If you can’t I just saved you thousands in start up costs and expect you to make a small donation to a charity of your choice. Honestly the road to any home business or start up company is riddled with the dead bodies of wannabe’s and day dreamers. These people were more in love with the idea of working for themselves then actually helping others.
OK here is the exercise, you will need an alarm clock, shower & towel. OK for all you people thinking dirty thoughts clean it up & stay focused, this is the cheapest most effective way to decide if you have “IT” basically what it takes……. Read the rest of this entry »

After viewing an interview with Les Brown, a well-known consultant and guest speaker, I came to the realization that what he was saying was so true. He really simplified it for me, and I will share this idea with as many people as possible, because I think it will make us better at working with others and help us understand why some will and some won’t want to listen to you. Each person we talk with will have these three basic questions. Read the rest of this entry »
What does financial freedom mean to you? For some it means freedom from debt and for others it means to own a one hundred foot yacht. Whatever your definition, financial freedom represents a goal to be attained as you continue on this part of your life journey.
On our journey to financial freedom, we often become impatient and feel unfulfilled. We can waste time hoping for the future instead of enjoying our today. Though we need to keep our eyes fixed on our future goal, we should not lose sight of the beauty of our present.
There are little miracles happening all around you. Did you make your first sale? Did you get your first website up Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever seen Lance Armstrong passionately cycle to the finish line of a demanding race? He defied his many obstacles to become one of the most influential men of our time.

I see so many leaders in the Internet marketing sector who are respected and trusted in the industry. When I think about their campaigns, I realize one of the common threads among them – they never lose the ability to learn from others. It is hard to remain humble when you reach the pinnacle of your Internet career and establish your expert status, but these leaders remain teachable, a great quality that will reward them with continued success.
How can these great minds keep learning when they already know so much? Even though the great minds are very knowledgeable of their industry, there is always more to learn and experience. You are never too smart Read the rest of this entry »
My father has made a point of reminding his children, I have three brothers and a sister, that if there is anything that he learned over his years of working in corporate America with various companies, it is that you should never throw away your Rolodex. That is one of those old-fashioned rotating business card holders that has now been replaced by social networking. Thank goodness.

You know you spend much more time while you are behind the steering wheel in your own car looking through that windshield and much less time looking at the rear view mirror.
