Creating a Sense of Urgency to Drive Results
Have you ever been in an "urgent" situation that commanded all of your attention? Most of us have faced this sort of "back against the wall" type of scenario at some point in our lives. When this happens, we are far more likely to take immediate action to resolve the problem or address the issue as quickly as possible. We often amaze ourselves at how well we handled the event. The interesting thing to note here is that we can actually create environments where we force ourselves into taking the kind of action required to achieve big things in our lives. ...

Get More Interested in Other People
Have you ever been guilty of pre-judging someone before getting to know them? Do you take the time to meet new people, regardless of their background, and really take an interest in their life? I have recently started doing more of this and it has been fascinating. You can really learn a lot about people and the world when you stop focusing on telling your story, and start focusing on learning more about others. I also happen to believe this is an amazing sales tactic because you establish relationships that can lead to friendships when you lead by showing interest in other ...
Ideas Implemented Faster than Ever Before
I have been working on some really exciting new ideas this week and it got me thinking about the process of idea creation. I know most people would agree that creating ideas and dreaming about the potential of a future creation can be a huge rush. The problem is that most ideas die shortly after they are conceived. I have had so many great ideas that are still written down on paper or worse yet, filed somewhere in my memory. One of the best things I believe anyone can do is to actually implement ideas. In business, this usually means creating products ...
Break Through Ridiculous Roadblocks
I have faced thousands and thousands of roadblocks on my business journey. People, events and circumstances will inevitably appear as roadblocks on your path to your dream. COUNT ON IT. What you don't have to count on is letting the roadblocks stop you, demotivate you or intimidate you. If you get assertive and confident (even if you have to fake it at first), you can bust through these roadblocks and make things happen. Here's an example of what I mean. Pay more attention to the thinking behind this message rather than the specific details of my scenario.
Warning About Stretching Your Comfort Zone
I will start this off by saying that ANYONE who wants to get into business for themselves must learn very quickly to move outside of their comfort zone. When you first start to do this, any tangible action will do because you are not accustomed to being uncomfortable. Over time, your threshold for moving outside of your comfort zone will increase. Having said that, I believe it is possible to cause damage or hurt your own success if you challenge your comfort zone recklessly. I give a prime example in my video today to at least give you something to think about. Don't ...
Deciding How to Spend Your Time
When you are building your own business, there are thousands of actions you must take on your journey. Taking the most appropriate actions that result in business growth are obviously critical to your success. The problem for a lot of new entrepreneurs is deciding what exactly they should be doing on a weekly or even daily basis. For example, you might have an idea of a marketing campaign that costs $5000 but could net you $20000 revenue. However, until you run the campaign, you really have no idea if it is going to be a success or a failure. Even if ...

Are you a Spectator or an Achiever?
When I work with various coaching clients, I generally notice that they have a tendency to fit into one of 2 categories. They are either Spectators by nature or they are achievers by nature. What do I mean. Check out the following presentation and then decide which category you fall into. People who...
