One of the biggest things I see people struggling with, whether I’m coaching or even just people I meet in general, is that they know what they *should* be doing to improve certain things in their life… but they don’t actually *do* it!

I have heard this kind of story so many times. Aspiring entrepreneurs REALLY hate their job, have an intense desire to make a change in their life and start their own business but they are discouraged by “well meaning” family members or friends.

Facing fear is certainly a topic I have discussed on more than one occasion and I am sure it will come up again. It is for a good reason though. We all need to analyze our fears and evaluate how they may be preventing us from doing things in our life. From Day 4 of [...]

Being productive is something that can be defined differently by different people. What I consider to be productive today would not have been even remotely fathomable 2 or 3 years ago.

Moving on to Day 2 of our 2011 kick off, we talk about a huge topic in everyone’s life. Taking action. Many people “know” what they should be doing but they don’t always “do” what they know. Action is the key to achieving anything and we wanted to shed some light on the topic. From [...]

I have faced thousands and thousands of roadblocks on my business journey. People, events and circumstances will inevitably appear as roadblocks on your path to your dream. COUNT ON IT.

But this issue we’re focusing specifically on your needs as a business owner. We know you’re the type of person who wants more out of life; your career isn’t about a paycheck, it’s about creating your best possible life and becoming your best possible self. That’s why, even though we pride ourselves on offering you meaningful content every issue, I believe this edition is one of the most important issues we offer all year.
