Thursday, March 6th, 2008If we only apply techniques that have worked for others to achieve success and wealth without understanding the reason why these techniques work, it is highly unlikely that we will achieve the same results. I’ve found no better way to describe the magnitude of this mistake than story of the “cargo cults.”

Monday, February 18th, 2008Dave Navarro - you’ve put yourself and your time management coaching to the challenge when you put me On Notice!
If for some reason you haven’t heard of Dave Navarro (no, not that Dave Navarro, but a rockstar all the same), you soon will because I’m about to see if his time management […]
How I’ve Been Holding Myself Back And How to Avoid Stagnation In Your Business
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008For the last 6 months or so, I’ve been knowingly stunting my own growth in business. I knew I was doing it, yet I continued. As stupid as this sounds, I wouldn’t be surprised if most people are doing the same thing… and that’s why I wanted to share.

How I Stopped Listening To Experts And Started Making Money
Monday, January 14th, 2008When I first started in business for myself, I was utterly depressed when reading all of the “how to” information out there about what it takes to start a business. The common knowledge about what it would take to become successful seemed like it would take much more time and money than I had.

You may be thinking… ‘but I’m not at expert level yet…’ I beg to differ. […]
How to Get What You’re Worth
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007One problem I faced when I first started in business for myself (and still struggle with), and that most new freelancers and consultants face, is charging less than they are worth for their products and services.
Why is asking for what we’re worth so difficult? The answer, I believe is rooted very deep in our […]
How to Achieve Ridiculous Goals
Friday, November 30th, 2007Soon after being hired as an Operation Manager for an internet start-up company, I took a risk that could have gotten me fired, but instead elevated me to near rock star status. I applied the same formula many more times at this company which resulted in a kinship with the CEO and founding management […]
What’s It Really Like to Take the Plunge Into Entrepreneurship?
Friday, November 23rd, 2007I’ve had plenty of people tell me that I’m “lucky” to work for myself. One friend of mine regularly tells me how much he “hates” me for the freedom I have because I’m my own boss. I always respond in one of two ways: “you could do it too, but you probably won’t” […]
