To me, today’s podcast is far and away the one of the most important topics to be addressed by all young people, money management and budgeting. Are you compiling a lot of debt, which is the last thing you want to do as you try to accumulate assets in order to enjoy a financially sound life?  Are you living above or below your means; meaning do you regularly spend more than you make or less than y...

“Me, leave a legacy? I’m twenty-two years old, and why should I be thinking about leaving a legacy? After all, I have my whole life ahead of me to even think about that. I’m more worried about my career, my future marriage, and my life in general and am not concerned in the least about my legacy.” Interestingly, there is no time like the present to think about how you are going to make the world a...

Being dependable is one of the most important personality traits you can possess and also one of the most overlooked attributes. This is especially true when assessing someone you wish to befriend or work with as it is very difficult to evaluate until you spend time with that person. Do you do what you say you are going to do and when you promised to do it? Are you punctual? Are you accountable fo...

Do you think the glass is half-full or half-empty? Do you look for the best in people or the worst? Do you look for opportunities when you encounter problems? Do you look to get back up if things didn’t go well for you at first? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Do you make the most of every situation without letting it get you down? To me, staying positive is one of the most important attribute...

Remember Ben Franklin’s saying; “a place for everything and everything in its place.” We are busy enough without having to take the extra time to hunt for stuff we were not diligent enough to put it back where it belongs.

I stated in my last podcast on Living a Healthy Lifestyle, that this topic is the most important lesson I can give to the young readers of my book and listeners to my podcasts. Our life expectancy is getting longer due to advances in medical technology, but our quality of life has been deteriorating over the years. That’s because of the choices we make when it comes to our diet, level of regular e...

In my last podcast, I addressed the areas of contentment and carelessness; two areas we all experience in our lives. The former can haunt you when you start comparing yourself (who you are, what you are and what you have) to others; not doing this will help us become more content with who we are and what we have. The latter can shed negative light on us if we are not careful in what we write and s...

Last week, I opened this series of podcasts with an introduction to my upcoming series entitled New Grad Advice. Today’s podcast is the first in a series of originating from my soon-to-be-released book; Words of Wisdom from a Christian Mentor, which provides advice to enhance your personal, financial, business/corporate and spiritual lives. It has been written to facilitate the transition of the g...
