We do not see the world as it is, we see the world as we are I like to engage in debate on current issues such as health, money and politics. So often I am met with personal attacks and disbelief in the way I see the world. I’m ok with that. I know that I think...

When I first started learning guitar, my intention was to be able to learn it well enough so that I could play a few songs around a campfire. I had a few friends who were great musicians, my girlfriend at the time was an excellent singer and I just thought that it...
The Taste/Talent Gap
At a party in high school, there was a guitar sitting there. I remember picking it up and trying to play. It sounded awful. My friend tried to teach me but neither of us had the patience. It wasn’t until University that I really got into it. This time it was...
Is money the root of all evil?
Have you heard the famous “quote” that money is the root of all evil? Of course you have… It is probably the most popular quote that relates to money. Only problem is that it is misquoted, and in my opinion, very misunderstood. Think of all of the "sayings" that we...
Can you give it 100%?
When I first heard someone say, “When I start something I give it 100%”, I got very excited. I thought this was going to be a real go getter. Unfortunately, it is usually followed up with “I’m not ready to to give my 100% yet, I’ll let you know when I’m ready”. So...
Seek and ye shall find
If you look hard enough for something, eventually you will find it. We live in the information age. Anything you could possibly want to know is available at your fingertips. All you have to do is Google it. If that is true, then that means we all have the information...
Get out of your comfort zone
My computer science classes in University were so overwhelming. I would look at the syllabus and I had no idea how I was going to get all that work done within the next four months. I was completely in over my head. The only reason that I went ahead with the class is...
Are you living Day to Day?
Words of wisdom from a multi-millionaire... "The very poor live day-to-day, the poor live week-to-week, the middle class live month-to-month, the wealthy live year-to-year and the very wealthy live decade-to-decade" - Kyle Pacetti Wow. I can’t stop thinking about how...
Who’s the Boss?
It's 11pm and I’ve just had a totally unproductive day. It seems like I just keep getting pulled in so many directions that it is hard to get anything done. I’ve spent the last 20 minutes planning my day tomorrow and I hope that I can get my things done. Sound...
Control the Goal and get what you want
I attended an excellent seminar a few years ago about Goal Setting and I had an epiphany. I had been setting goals for myself for years and I did not realize that I was doing it all wrong. I wasn't setting goals. I was setting desired outcomes. As we ring in the New...
The mistake I couldn’t afford
Almost 4 years ago... I'm sitting at the airport. I just missed my flight to Denver, Colorado. I am supposed to go there to learn about a new health challenge that could help eliminate obesity. I used to have a great job in high tech, but I got laid off. I decided to...
Are you really “thinking about it”?
I am about 11 years old and laying out in the hot sun with some friends at the neighborhood pool. My friends decide to try the high diving board. To impress the girls, and in the excitement of the moment, I think this is an excellent idea. Finally, it is my turn....
The ties that bind
Imagine when you meet someone for the first time, there is a small elastic band that attaches you to them. Each time you meet the person again it gets thicker. The more experiences and the deeper the “connection” between the two of you, the stronger the elastic band...
Do you really “believe” that?
I walk into the room and I see a massive spread of seafood… So elegant... It looks amazing. I don’t even know what most of it is, but it just smells rich. Only one problem. I don’t eat seafood. I have been successful at avoiding it for my whole life. So there I was....
The catch to Network Marketing
I was lucky… Ok, fine, I don’t believe in luck so I’ll use the word “fortunate”. When I started in Network Marketing close to a decade ago, I already knew I was crazy so I wasn't surprised when my friends told me it wouldn't work. Luckily… er… fortunately, I'm a...
Define “Greedy” : Is it true that the rich take from the poor?
I was talking to a good friend of mine and the conversation went to money and wealth. His father happens to be wealthy and he used the word “greedy” to describe rich people. I stopped him right there since I wanted to understand more about how he was thinking. I...
Our Love/Hate Relationship with money
Do you hate money? Let’s face it, you don’t hate money. You hate not having money. What’s more is that you hate what some other people who don’t have money do in order to get it. So why is it that so many of us have a negative relationship with money? How is the...
Tension vs Pressure : How to build your business without being “pushy”
When I started my first home business I remember having a mental block. I had a very hard time taking the order. I didn't want to feel like I was pressuring anyone. I don’t think that I’m the only one who feels like this… Maybe you feel this way too? The bottom line...
No Pain No Gain
Today I learned that a promoter in my team believes that this just “isn't for him”. He’s got goals, dreams and great work ethic. However, he says that he can’t get himself to contact and invite. He knows what to do, but says that doing it simply “isn't in him”. Allow...
Give and Take
Have you ever tried to pay for someone’s lunch only to get an almost violent reaction? Do you have people in your life that say things like “I keep giving and giving and I never get anything in return”? Well you aren't alone. It seems that as a society we are...
