Work-life balance is all the rage right now. However, I think it's a fallacy. Instead of work-life balance, I like to simply call it harmony in my life. That's really the goal, isn't it? To mold our businesses and our lives around the things that are most important to us? To maintain harmony through all of the different seasons we go through? I get questions from business owners all the time on ho...

Living life rich includes living a life of joy. It includes being present. It includes being grateful, no matter your circumstances. That's why I talk about these types of things all the time on this show. What I don't talk about often is being happy. I used to think happiness was fluffy. When I was going through tough times, happy people made me angry. However, I now think about happiness as an i...

The stock market today is a bear market.   What does this mean? Not only are stocks down but they are down 20 percent.   Over the last decade or so, we were in the opposite arena. We were in a bull market. You didn't have to know anything about stocks to make money off of them. You could just stick money in and get a paycheck out.   Today, however, we've gotta be a little smarter and we've gotta w...
