A productive person knows how to maximize two things: the activities they get paid for and the activities they don’t get paid for. This delineation is important to make when maximizing your productivity and accessibility, so you can prioritize the activities you get paid for, as well as those activities which you enjoy the most.

You need to do something every day in order to be great at it. Meditate, use gratitude, practice a skill, work on a relationship, tell somebody that you love and appreciate them. Each of those activities can take as little as 30 seconds a day, if you are efficient, and will make a resounding impact in your life.

Faith is a true currency and an object of energy. Our faith is the aggregate of what we think, say, do, believe, and our subconscious mind. Faith is composed of our characteristics, our obsessions, our addictions, and the energy we put out. The problem I often see is that many are so unconscious about where they invest their faith, constantly create resistance by putting faith in the wrong things. We tend to think about what we don’t want, or even worse put faith in what other people want for us...

William Shakespeare was a genius in many ways, but there are two ideas of his which are crucial to building any brand. The first, which comes from the play As You Like It, is something that has become even more important over time: “All the world's a stage”. With the prevalence of platforms like social media, the entire world is truly our stage today, and we must take full advantage of that stage in order to build, grow, and sustain a brand. We can transmit our brand’s frequency anywhere, with c...

People connect through emotion, and everything is your stage. I try to find two ambassadors a year. The goal for this is to simply find two ambassadors for your brand that align with your brands values and can organically sell to others. From there, you want each ambassador to find two additional ambassadors. After 20 years of doing this, you would have two million ambassadors.

5 Steps To Sell Anything 1. Stimulate Interest: Stimulate interest for availability first, meaning practice getting people to respond to your calls, texts, emails, and social media messages first. Then, focus on stimulating interest for your business or services. 2. Transition the Interest: Emotionally connect with who you’re targeting. Then, transition their interest through professional collateral and a clear explanation of true value. Use the 100/20 Rule: be able to articulate that your custo...

No job is beneath you, and your positive attitude and awareness will help you stay focused to manifest exactly what you desire!

The first and best way to improve your feelings of worthiness is simply to provide value to others; be kind to others as well as to your future self. Be of service, which means providing value with no expectations of receiving anything in return. It contains the requirement that you give unconditionally. Giving with expectation, as my friend Bob Proctor says, is trading and not real giving.

Just because we manifest what we desire doesn’t mean we’re going to be happy, but it does make us happy to get what we want. Then, we have to learn to sustain that happiness to make sure that we can continually manifest and learn from what we wanted. Some of it may have been misguided, or misadjusted, but in the end, it will create happiness as long as we learn lessons from the process of making it our reality.

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 ...

Unfortunately, we tend to attach our happiness as business leaders to the results we achieve. We tell ourselves things phrases like:...
