Cultivate The Habit of Sticking To Plans
Brian Tracy often remarks that “only 3% of adults have written goals …and the rest of us work for them”. When people come to him for advice (“why is my life so hard? How come I can’t get ahead?”) he asks them “Show me your written goals”. If they don’t have any, he basically tells [...]
Before you ever buy a single stock….
Today, two close associates both asked me my advice on “the stock market” (I won’t say “investing in”, see below). One had seen a late night infomertial advising him to “short the S&P NOW” and wanted to know how to buy put options. I told him the basics of how to do that, and then [...]
What are the secrets of my success?
[ Found on an old backup of an old journal, episode #2] 1) I read a lot of books. There are very few unique problems and nothing’s new under the sun. So whatever I’ve faced over the years, whatever I wanted to learn about, there was always a previous body of knowledge out there I [...]
Departing the Mob
Found in a backup of an old journal: Average people require ideologies and belief systems to numb their minds. They need an either overtly or subtley authoritarian societal structure to keep the wheels on civilization. They are perpetually interchangeble, replaceable components of “The Mob”. Non-average people set out to accomplish whatever they set their minds [...]
The Problem with Marketing: Part II (any idiot can do it, and it works).
It was only yesterday I wrote “The Problem with Marketing” and today a friend sent me a link for the pitch page for some guy named Trey Smith and his “Software System”. My friend asked me to watch it and tell him what I think. I never made it through the video, because frankly, life’s [...]
The Problem with “Marketing”
I randomly punched up a podcast on my iphone this morning on my way to the office and it was a short “introduction to information marketing lesson” from Joe Vitale for Nightingale-Conant. I’ve got a few Joe Vitale books and audiobooks (that marketing “works” is not being disputed here), and while I find some parts [...]
My First Mashup! Hillary Clinton meets Highway To Hell
I just had my ears opened to the world of music mashups this week, and it’s pretty cool (although a veritable time sink, to be sure). While I always knew mashups existed, I didn’t really pay attention to them until I stumbled onto GotRadio’s Mashups channel this week. Wow! So naturally I wanted to know [...]
Never mind “manifesting money”, how about becoming rich?
OH NO! I’m about to pick on Steve Pavlina again, I resolved to lay off for awhile, but then he went and posted “How to Manifest Money”, and really…it’s not like I have a choice in the matter now. In it, he advises Playfulness (vis-a-vis, your relationship with money), Knowing (that the money is already [...]
Economic Tachyons and the Wealth Imperative
There is a reason why I was completely driven to become rich, and it had nothing to do with vacationing in luxury villas in the Caribbean (which I do, several times a year), or sometimes flying there in a private jet (chartered, not owned, but it still beats the hell out of flying commerical and [...]
Why I’m an anonymous success coach.
It must seem pretty audacious. I just sit here taking shots at the snake-oil-salesmen from behind my veil of anonymity. Why should anybody take me seriously? Well, you don’t have to. If you find the things you learn here of value, then run with it and remember where you read it. If not, then have [...]
