My personal battle with inferiority and “comparisonitis”
I’ve battled all my life (from early elementary school all the way into my 40’s) with inferiority. I was a skinny, asthmatic, under-sized kid all the way through my sophomore year in high school. As a highly competitive sports fanatic, I was always out-sized, out-muscled, out-performed by kids who had different genetics than me. I…
If you think the victory is in how much you know or how hard you work…
I assume you are sitting down. Time for some accurate thinking (a term I first read about in Napoleon Hill’s book). After sending numerous emails over the past month, I’m steadily getting some feedback from people that they are frustrated. Frustrated beyond words. I’m hearing from you that no one works harder than you. You…
Current author and author’s to be…which group do you prefer?
I’m putting together 2 more small groups of remarkable individuals to work with at least until we toast the new year 2014. (Yes, we’re halfway through 2013 and there’s a lot of time left to make 2013 extremely successful.) Group 1 is for people who are ready to write their book, but aren’t ready to…

How Do You Dream Big?
Very few have the guts to Dream Big. So many of us think small. We dream in miniatures. Why? Dreaming Big is scary. Dreaming Big takes work. Is a 100K business less scary than a 1 million dollar business? Is a 10 million dollar business less scary then a 1 billion dollar business? Right now,…
When You Lack the Talent (for now) and the Task Is Overwhelming
One of the amazing things of having coached youth sports since I was 16 years old, is that I have now coached for 26 years in various sports (mainly basketball) and many of the players that were no taller than my waist are now bigger and faster than me, and also married with kids, and…
An Entrepreneur In Transition
So many entrepreneurs are in a transition period these days. If you are, you are not alone! In fact, you might be fortunate. There’s nothing like a transition to clean out old things, old habits, old relationships, and old ideas. Change is good, transitions are necessary. But transitions are also scary and disorienting. I enjoy…
Happy Birthday To Me
Today I’m 2 years old. (Although the calendar says I’m 42). Something grand happened when I turned 40 – I entered my second life. Now that might be deep for all of you to process on a weekend, but believe me, this is true. The year 2009, the year I turned 40 was a hell…
“If You Know They Will Come, Build It”
This is a play on a famous line from one of my all-time favorite movies, “Field of Dreams”. In this movie, Kevin Costner hears a voice tell him, “If you build it, he will come”. GREAT line, great premise, but for you the entrepreneur, let the voice you hear in your head say, “If you know…
