I used to think this was a harmless figure of speech. When someone is presented with a great idea… Something that could really take their life, their career, or their business to the next level… They say: “Sounds great, but I just can’t see myself doing that.” It’s not a harmless figure of speech, though.

What Are You Telling Yourself With Your Actions?
It’s amazing what you can achieve when you learn to communicate with your subconscious mind. When you cease to be a stranger to the part of yourself responsible for all your motivation and creative problem solving… …You become unstoppable. You can set a goal, pass that goal to your subconscious through visualization and affirmations, and […]
What Will You Regret On Your Deathbed?
I had a weird dream last night. The dream left me with a burning curiosity. In this dream, I was dying. And I was perfectly okay with it. No fear. No dread. No desire to stick around for unfinished business. I was just letting go and moving on. And I woke up with the realization […]
How Asking Better Questions Can Improve Your Life
We can never outperform our self-image. If we can’t see ourselves doing something, then we can’t do it. Simple as that. But all of us have far more potential than we tend to imagine. Physically, mentally, emotionally, creatively… Our true limits far exceed what most of us ever actually achieve. Because it’s never our true […]
Removing Toxic People From Your Life
I see a lot of advice out there about removing toxic people from your life.

My Kids Won’t Be Forced To Eat Potato Soup

Not too long ago, I wrote about how to be more persuasive. If you missed that one, it boiled down to this… “When you like yourself and treat yourself with respect, others will like you and respect you.” More importantly, though, the *right* people will like and respect you. Not everybody, of course. Just the […]
I Love Saying (and Hearing) This Offensive Word
I don’t know how you feel about this word. Most people hate it. But maybe you’re okay with it. I won’t judge. I like it, too. Because I’ve learned how much power this offensive little word really packs for people who are willing to say it… …and for people who aren’t afraid to hear it, […]
Escaping The Envy/Inferiority Trap
Envy, like all emotions, isn’t really good or bad by itself. It’s how we use it that determines if it’s useful or harmful to us. And yes, there is a useful expression of envy. Usually, though, we allow envy to make us obsess over the success of others, until we end up constantly comparing ourselves […]
