I hear from a lot of the marketing gurus that success is 90% mindset, at least. The other 10% then, is method.
I used to believe it. Because, after all, shouldn’t those running successful businesses and making millions of dollars know what it takes?
But as I struggled, my experience made me doubt the accuracy of this [...]

I’ve been listening to Wayne Dyer’s It’s Never Crowded Along the Extra Mile. I’ve been through it twice now.
As a result I’ve been focusing a lot of my personal development efforts lately on raising my spiritual energy. For me this involves seeing all people as being part of God.
Whatever your spiritual beliefs, becoming a nicer, [...]

My kids and I left the house about 9:30 this morning. It was a beautiful 70 degree day and we had great plans.
As we pulled out the driveway and started up the street, I saw that my neighbor two houses down had a yard completely full of stuff. His stuff. Apparently the mortgage company had [...]

We’ve made it through February. Time to check up on those New Year’s Resolutions you reluctantly made. Most people have long ago lost that piece of paper.
I go to a fitness club. I have for over 20 years. So I know this little graph to the right to be absolutely true.
I curse [...]

My “friend” Jim Rohn died on December 5. Of course, he had no idea who I was. But that didn’t make him any less my friend.
I was introduced to Jim Rohn by my upline in my first network marketing company. I will always consider my time with that company a success. Not because I [...]

My 5-year-old was balancing on one foot on the edge of the bed frame last night. She fell off and immediately said, “watch, I’ll do it better next time.” (And she did).
Being the ever-conscious parent that I am, I tried to seize the moment for a “life lesson.” I told her that she was right, [...]

We are responsible for teaching our kids personal development. At least until their teenage years. Not only do we have the obligation to teach our own kids, but also to be a positive influence on any children we have contact with. Let them know personal development is important.
Of course, as with most [...]

Remember when you first started your work from home journey? You were likely attracted by the promise that making money online was easy. And the pictures of the house you could buy, the cars you could drive, and the vacations you could take just a few months into your work from home business.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t [...]

I love the Napolean Hill quote, “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Sounds easy. Yet one of the biggest reasons people can’t change their lives is simply that they don’t believe they can.
I got an email from an internet marketer the other day promoting a training for people [...]

I always tell people that if they aren’t happy with their life, then change it. And I believe that. I don’t think there’s much room for complaining. If you don’t like your job, do something else. If you’re not happy in your relationship, fix it or get out.
