"Fear is the cheapest room in the house - I'd like to see……" It's not unreasonable to experience fear in our lives. It can protect us in many ways. But we don't want it to be our dominant mindset. Keep fear in a very small basement room in your house and in the backseat of your car you're driving. Let's look at how to set your mind so fear is reduced and controlled. Questions: 1. How can I reduce...

It is often true that we teach best what we've experienced ourselves. Dave Ramsey went broke - now he teaches other people how to avoid making the financial mistakes he made. I went through a major business crash - and now I help others figure out how to navigate unexpected career and business changes. A listener shares his story of overcoming problematic drinking and now others are asking him to...

Many people assume they will be generous as soon as they get wealthy with all their bills paid, retirement funded and the kids' college funds in place. But giving first may in fact be the door opener to wealth. Our potential for wealth is not shown in our bank account as much as it is in the attitude of our heart. Questions: 1. How are you giving in creative ways this Christmas? 2. How can you be...

What are your thoughts on using a Book/Writer Coach? 2. I have pursued my passion and it hasn't amounted to anything sustainable. (Should I pursue a c...

I recently had an experience that rocked my thinking. I thought I had left an inspiring office at our old house and that I'd have to settle for just a functional room at our new house. And then I experienced something that made me question - in what other areas of my life have I assumed this is as good as it gets? Questions: 1. Are you looking for security - or freedom? 2. Are you thinking like a...

One of my pet peeves is seeing people who want to get a new job or start a new business who are buying programs, going to expensive conferences, paying for software and web design, joining expensive masterminds for an extended period of time - and not making money. Always getting ready. "Getting cooked in the squat" as Zig Ziglar told in his story. Questions: 1. How can we keep our traditional edu...

There is a concept called "confirmation bias" which means we tend to find information that supports what we already believe. While we'd like to think our opinions are based on rational analysis, the truth is our opinions are more likely the result of years of paying attention to information that supports our current beliefs. I tell a story that made me question my own ability to recognize "truth"....

If you crawl out of bed, grab a cup of coffee, jump in your car, and scream at drivers holding you up - you've set the stage for the kind of day you will have. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Follow the steps I lay out here to guarantee a positive, productive day. Questions: 1. What I enjoy most is playing board games like Ticket to Ride. Can I get a job doing this? 2. Why are you not endors...

A listener asks if an average person with average abilities can really make a difference. You should be able to identify five people who have made a big difference in your life. Are you on anyone else's list? You really can make a dent in the universe today? We unpacked just one question in this episode - because it has such massive implications. PLUS: My recommendation for president Get direct li...

People approach me every day with what could be the next greatest Hula Hoop, self-directing Frisbee, time management system, dog training trick, or best-selling book. Often these people brag about having so many great ideas that they have not been able to narrow down and develop even one. And therein lies the challenge. If you have lots of great ideas and you've been doing research for the last fi...

Crystal and Mark Victor Hansen show us why asking for help make you appear smarter and more likable. I share my story about asking Mark for help years ago - and how that opened the door to millions of dollars for me. Questions: Are you trying to be self-sufficient? Are you depriving yourself of resources that could transform your success? Have you seen how freely children ask for help? What do you...

Maybe you don't deserve a better life? If you've ever thought that, you may be creating our own reality. But be sure you're living your own life, not the life you think others expect of you. Embrace what you know about yourself to find that authentic path. Questions: How can a person get past self sabotaging everything they try to do? When the pandemic started and all our business shut down. What...

I love this question and the answer comes from looking inward first. Knowing yourself well is the key to knowing if your current job has the potential to be meaningful, productive and profitable work. Changing yourself does hold more potential than most people realize. Questions: 1. Should I change myself or change my job? What are 3 actions to fast-tracking my new business? What is the best way t...

I heard a story recently about a dog, straining at his leash, barking ferociously at a cat about 15 feet away. All of his actions just screamed, "Turn me loose, and I'm gonna make things happen." All of a sudden, in the midst of a powerful lunge, the leash snapped and the dog was free to go attack the cat. But he looked astonished, frightened, actually terrified. He quickly grabbed the leash, ran...

This is a rare time when I have an outside guest - actually two today. Mark Timm and Kevin Harrington share their experiences of seeing opportunities that others miss. And even more importantly how to be rich in your family as well as your business.

Well this is a new one. I don't recall ever getting a note that talking about losing a job in 48 Days. From the tone of the note I doubt it was work she loved. But if that happens to you, now you have a fresh experience of having gotten that job, and the added insights about why it didn't work out. See this as a new opportunity to find - or create - work that blends your talent, passion and money....

No it's really not. In this episode I contrast the theories outlined in Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and Range by David Epstein. It seems that people who are extraordinarily successful often experiment with a whole lot of things before they find their best fit. The old theory that you have to start when you're three years old and put in your 10,000 hours may not be true. So it's not too late if yo...

Some people feel trapped in the current unexpected circumstances of this crazy year. Others are finding opportunities in what most people see as a "crisis." Listen in to stories about people like Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole who asked, "Why is baseball a seasonal sport? Why can't we play baseball 365 days a year?" Challenging old traditions may uncover your new opportunity as well. Finding un...

Nearly everyone who has accomplished something great was told that along the way. Often people who have had unusual challenges or disadvantages end up doing big things. Is it possible that your greatest opportunity is right next to your greatest obstacle? Listen to what some big Dreamers had to overcome to bring their dreams to life and then ask yourself if you are on the path to accomplishing you...

Kim thinks maybe God is using her as an example of having to be totally dependent on Him. I'm pretty confident our mindset and expectation are more powerful factors than God's desire to micromanage us. Questions: 1. Why is God keeping me poor?. 2. How can I use public domain books in my business? 3. What is the best way to get on podcast shows? 4. Do you need to spend money to make money? Plus res...

Some listeners are discouraged based on the Stages of Life we discussed last week, feeling like they are behind the game and may never catch up. I remind you I was thrilled to get back up to zero net worth at age 53. It was then I started doing the things I'm known for today. Questions: 1. What if you have multiple business ideas?. 2. How should I proceed with my invention related to guitars? 3. W...

A lady's question recently make me pause and think? With a little research, I discovered some traits we all want to display that could in fact make us be seen as "pastors." Questions: 1. I'm in my mid-50s and a lifelong photographer. Unfortunately, photography is now a super saturated field and very low paying. 2. Where can I get training on becoming a bookkeeper? 3. What's the best way to market...
