Ask yourself the question “who am I and what do I want?” Take inventory of your personal, experiential, giving and receiving values and make your decisions by what’s most aligned with them.

Choosing to detach from an outcome, can seem extremely conflictual, and it is hard for people to understand. One of the common questions I get is this: “How do you have goals yet remain detached from an outcome?” The truth is, I’m very driven toward the goals I set. I try to take my ego and time, two driving factors for many, out of my goal setting. What I do is this: I set a goal, and at the same time, I detach my happiness from the goal. I do not create an immediate plan to get to my goal. My ...

Taking inventory of your values everyday is the key to making the right decision. 1 - Know your personal giving and receiving values. Evaluate those four things every day. 2 - Learn to ask a series of questions to learn how you can provide value to every person in every situation. 3 - Learn a series of questions with which you can ask for help—which is the most difficult and radically humble thing. I lost over $100 million by not asking for help, and my world changed when I learned how to ask th...

The truth is, people that sell the best, the most statistically successful salespeople, are the ones that have shifted the paradigm of value. They understand what I call the 100/20 rule. The 100/20 rule is a belief that you are providing more value than your client is asking for. Think about it. How easy would it be to trade a $100 bill in exchange for a $20 bill? If your job was to do that all day, how would you do it? That is the essence of sales: Provide more value than you ask for. When you ...

Today's episode is advice I gave to a young woman who was seeking advice on her business partner who's worried about having his ideas stolen. If you believe in scarcity and your own self-interest, then that is what you will manifest. But if you truly believe in the universe, if you truly believe in abundance, then there is enough of everything for everyone, you will attract what you desire more accurately and rapidly.

I receive a lot of questions how to build good habits or how to break bad ones. The answer is the same - pick 3 things, skills, habits, etc that you want to learn and dedicate a minimum amount of time every single day. You don’t need them to consume your day, simply set a minimum everyday and focus in on it. There is an exponential result when you focus on doing something every single day. Conversely, if you keep attracting bad habits into your life focus on what you’re doing everyday to attract...
