The error that most people make is fearing to do what they love.
People who are already in a job or business think that at least there is income to put food on the table and a roof over the head. True. But, on your death bed, do you really want people around you commenting on that your life was about food and roofs? I do not think so.
Refer to the lives of anyone you respect. Gandhi. Michelangelo. Picasso. JFK. Nelson Mandela. Think of these lives. Were their lives about food and shelter? NO. Their lives were about service. Their lives were about doing only what they loved. Read More→
When someone wants to know the “secret” to double your income, I ask them, “What do you love?” It’s really that simple; you can double your income just by doing what you love. We’ve all heard the old adage, “Money can’t buy you love.” The truth is, it’s not about the $$$-it’s about what you want this money to do for you.
You figure out what you love to do and set a goal. Through Law of Attraction or neuro-linguistics or The Secret (whatever you’d like to call it), we can set our mind up for success one step at a time.
I decided to enter a 350-mile foot race to the magnetic North Pole. It was a lofty goal. Read More→

More and more people are looking to become entrepreneurs so they can be their own bosses and make lots of money. Unfortunately, even though entrepreneurship accounts for most of the new wealth around the world, the vast majority of these new businesses will fail. Of those that don’t, almost all will earn less than $50,000 a year.
A big part of the problem is that these new business owners tend to jump into the fray without putting the time and effort into learning the proper business skills. Additionally, the proliferation of me-too products and parity customer service makes it harder to convince prospective customers to buy from you instead of anyone else. Read More→
I recently had the honor of interviewing the world-famous Robert Kiyosaki and this is what I learned …
The popular perception is that being an entrepreneur and investing in general is risky business in which you’re likely to lose your shirt – and your nest egg. Well, it’s time to debunk that myth!
See What Others Cannot See
First, think like an investor, not an accountant or an attorney. That simply means seeing the true value of something rather than just considering the original price. If you can see what someone else can’t — like how existing zoning will limit or expand what can be done with acreage – you can identify low or no risk investments.
Also, you must have an entrepreneurial spirit and a love for that lifestyle. Investing isn’t for those with a “saver’s” mentality as making money and attaining wealth are about mind control — how you view an opportunity and what you are willing to spend in order to step up the value are key.
So says Robert Kiyosaki, author of The New York Times best seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Read More→
The Story of Joseph Kennedy
Joseph Kennedy was a stock market investor in the late 1920’s. One day, in the Summer of 1929, he overheard an elevator boy boasting about how much money he had made in the stock market. Joseph Kennedy reasoned that if totally-uneducated low-income employees have now been attracted to the stock market, then the prices must be at their all-time highest. So, he raced to the floor of the stock exchange and famously yelled: SELL! For months, his friends laughed at him as prices kept rising and rising and rising. Then, one day, October 29, 1929, the market crashed. Joseph Kennedy and his family were safe. They had no money whatsoever in the market.
Joseph Kennedy waited. Read More→
In 1899, William McKinley, the President of USA, invited the heads of all his departments to submit the most innovative thing that they could do to begin the new century. There were interesting replies, but the most interesting and the most remembered was a whopping error.
The Head of the US Patent Office famously replied requesting that the President close the US Patent Office because everything that was ever going to be invented had already been invented. It seems absurd now to even think of life without airplanes, automobiles, computers, cellphones, and just about everything else we use today. So, there is no end to new inventions. Why? Because there is no end to needs and problems.

Given the state of the world political stage and the perception that highly important business people are often crooks, it’s easy to make the assumption that simple things like integrity and ethics are nice to have but not essential to everyday life. Actually, nothing could be further from the truth – and truth still matters as much, if not more, than it ever has. In fact, it’s crucial to building and maintaining trust which, in turn, is perhaps one of the most underrated business tools at our disposal.
Stephen Covey, son of the driving force behind the Habits of Highly Effective People books, is convinced that we are in the middle of a trust paradox. Read More→
Real millionaires are always self-made in one way or another. Few of them start out with that kind of money in their pockets and, those few who do, usually lose it all. This means that almost any one of us can come from nothing and achieve great wealth. If you think there’s a catch that’s because there is one. You have to stop thinking like you and start thinking like a millionaire. To do that you will need to look at how your brain works on an entirely different level. As T. Harv Eker, author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, has explained we all have a set of mental blueprints that establish our comfort zone on a multitude of things — weight and wealth among them. As long as we stay within range, everything seems okay.
However, when we get too far above or beyond that zone our mind reins us back in. Weight may yo-yo up or down; with respect to money, we see that most big lottery winners end up as broke as they were before. Even the children of the wealthy tend to lose fortunes rather than make them.

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.
The Parable of The Seed
He said, “It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you.” The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. “I am going to give each one of you a seed today. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.”
One man, Jim, received his seed. Read More→
