As a child I was very introverted, often spending my time on the computer, reading, playing video games, or pursuing other solo hobbies. I’d spend time outdoors biking, exploring the nearby fields and hills (which today are filled with houses), or shooting hoops, but I’d usually favor doing these things alone or with people I knew very well. I never felt too comfortable around strangers, and I never cared for big family events. Psychological tests like the Myers-Briggs pegged me squarely a...

It’s funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assumeit’s time to go out and get a job.But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.In fact, if you’re reasonably intelligent, getting a job is one of the worst things you can do to support yourself.There are far better ways to make a living than selling yourself into indentured servitude.

Habit Change Is Like ChessChanging a habit is like playing a game of chess.In chess there’s an early game, a middle game, and an endgame. The same is true for habit change.Many people try to change their habits by skipping straight to the endgame. They dive in and commit themselves to making the change happen right away. This is what people do when they make a New Year’s Resolution. It hardly ever works.

What is it that distinguishes one artist from the next? Why do some seem to Thrive in every way possible while others perpetually live the life of a "starving artist"? The answer has less to do with what you are doing, and much more to do with WHO is doing it. Dressing up a pig to look like a person doesn't change the fact that it's still a pig. The same holds true between being a Thriving Artist and a starving one. A starving artist can go through all the motions and do what other success...

A recession is possibly the best time to launch a new business or to expand an existing one. It’s also a great time to get ahead in your career.Lately I’ve seen a lot of people, some of them friends, do some really dumb things in an attempt to earn more money. They buy into lame money-making programs, join and promote useless MLM schemes, and fall prey to scammers.The common pattern is always the same — they’re focused on trying to make more money. They make it their top pri...

When going to college many years ago, I decided to challenge myself by setting a goal to see if I could graduate in only three semesters, taking the same clazzes that people would normally take over a four-year period.This book explains in detail all the time management techniques I used to successfully pull this off.

Many books on time management recommend the practice of thinking of each hour of your time as being worth a specific quantity of money. It’s an extension of the “time is money” concept. First you figure out what your hourly rate is, and then you use that as a guide to determine where you should spend your time. If you want to earn more money, then you must first mentally raise your hourly rate, so you can start doing activities that are worth more. I’ve spent a lot of time consid...

My traffic-building strategy isn’t based on tricks or techniques that will go out of style. It’s mainly about providing genuine value and letting word of mouth do the rest.  Sadly, this makes me something of a contrarian today, since I happen to disagree with much of what I’ve seen written about traffic-building elsewhere.

What if you currently live a very comfortable lifestyle and you have a lot of assets?How can you justify running off to do what truly makes you happy if it might put all your current assets at risk?After all, why are we here?Is it to acquire stuff, live a comfortable lifestyle, make our families as comfortable as possible, and then die?

When people try to sit down and write out a purpose or mission statement, they usually lack sufficient clarity to do so intelligently. How exactly are you supposed to define your purpose? Are you simply supposed to know it and squeeze it out of your brain like a sponge? What if you can imagine several different missions that might fit you, but you have no idea which is better? What if you can’t think of anything at all that seems meaningful to you? What then?

What limiting financial beliefs are holding you back from achieving all the wealth and abundance you deserve?Tony Robbins devotes a segment of his Personal Power II program to the topic of financial mastery, and he says the primary reason we don’t experience financial abundance is that we have negative associations to having more money than we need. That’s a controversial statement, but I think he’s spot on.
