I overheard someone a few months back boasting about the amount of books she read over the past year (more than one per week). In addition, this person also subscribes to dozens of blogs and podcasts. She attends conferences, purchases products, and enrolls in many courses. The other people hearing these boasts were feeling rather small.…
What’s your CHIEF desire? Sex? Money? Fame? Nope…not even close. I agree with Ralph Waldo Emerson: Our chief want in life is someone who will make us do what we can. (Tweet This) So now the bigger question…what CAN you do? Without a doubt, I know you CAN be a better and stronger version of yourself.…
I think if we’re honest, most of us are guilty of it…making mistakes on social media. Maybe you wish you: Could take something back. Hadn’t posted when you were mad. Didn’t come off with so much self-promotion. Or you might be the opposite. Maybe you haven’t made mistakes. Rather, you wish you could just get more people…
Did I really say the “ONLY” THING? As is in: One? Uno? Single? Sole? Lone? Yep. It’s true. There’s only one thing you need to become an author. But that’s not what the Internet says? The Internet says you need an agent, a proposal, and a platform. It says you need a big book advance and…
Becoming Unhackable? Often we hear of THINGS getting hacked (phones, computers, bank accounts, etc.). But 2 years ago I saw an interesting trend with some of my clients.

Time to face the facts. You’re not immortal. And you’re not getting younger. You don’t even know where to find the fountain of youth. Personally, I could care less if such a place exists. I have more energy, margin, and passion than ever before. And I don’t even consume caffeine, energy drinks, or reality TV.…
Time to ditch the drama. Some clients aren’t just worth it, even if they’re willing to pay your full fee. Truth is, these toxic clients are impossible to please, highly critical, and a liability to your mental health. So, how can you spot them? Equally important, how do you fire them? I’ve been blessed with…
I love the quote above from Inception (one of my favorite movies): The movie explores how ideas are created, stolen, and shared. You might wonder why do I love ideas so much? Here’s why: because ideas infect people. Inception asks: What is the most resilient parasite? An idea. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s…
