We are a society of professional starters. We start new year’s resolutions. We start diets. And we start businesses. With all of the starting we do, you’d think we’d also be good at finishing. But we’re not even mediocre at finishing. When it comes to finishing what we started, we are just downright awful. Which is great news, because that means there’s plenty of room for improvement. Today, talk...

One thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history. To help reverse this problem, I’m starting a new series called “Lessons from History”. In today’s episode, we actually cover an historical lesson that comes from a fiction book. The book is 1984 written by George Orwell. For those of you haven’t read the book, I give a brief rundown of the plot of 1984 at the beginning of the epi...

The most common excuse for not starting something new is time...or lack thereof. Throughout the 10 years I owned my fitness studio, the line I heard the most was “I don’t have time”. Of course, when I followed up with questions about where their time was being spent, I rarely got a coherent answer. That’s why time management is one of the most important skills you can develop if you have ambitions...

We spend a lot of time being concerned about what other people think and, in turn, making decisions to make those other people happy. Which is ironic because those other people don’t have to live with the consequences of your decisions. Today, I want to talk about defining what success looks like to YOU. This will require you to put aside the beliefs and opinions of others around you so you can cr...

There’s a temptation on every journey to take the shortcut to the outcome. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or build a multi-million dollar business or advance your career, you’ll have times when you want to try something that gets you there faster.

Today is my 40th year on earth. After almost half lifetime of living, I’ve learned a few lessons along the way. So I thought I’d spend today covering 10 lessons I’ve learned during my time alive.

Because it’s only when you challenge the consensus view that you mo...

Many people struggle to make progress in life and can’t seem to figure out why…so they say. A big reason, and a major factor in the success or failure of a goal, is not understanding second and third order consequences. These consequences, the one’s that come AFTER you’ve made the decision or taken the action, are tricky to recognize because there isn’t a direct line of connection to the original...

As you transition out of adolescents and into adulthood, life begins by establishing your SELF. You’re establishing your career, your family, your reputation. This is what David Brooks calls the first mountain. Eventually, discontent sets in and you realize that there’s something more to life. You realize that there is more beyond the SELF. If you follow this realization to its end, you’ll find th...

One thing that humans are terrible at is gaining perspective. This is understandable considering we only have our own lens with which to view the world. But it’s a tendency that also leads us to hang onto problems longer than we need to and to make big problems out of small problems which adds unnecessary pain and misery to life. So, learning to put things in perspective is a skill that you need t...

I spoke with Bo Bennett in a recent episode of the Good Wolf Project. Bo is an expert in rationality and cognitive reasoning.

There’s a belief about success that, once I reach my goals and dreams, I’ll have all the confidence I need. We look at the achievement of the goal as the point in which we’ll start to believing in ourselves and when our self-doubt will melt away.
