There are two types of people in life: 1) those who wait for evidence that their goals will work before they take the first step, and 2) those who rely on the evidence of their faith. If I had waited for the evidence that I "could" write books, I probably would have never written one—let alone four. One of the mysteries of life is trusting that one's efforts will pay off, while ignoring the momentary or repeated setbacks. Achieving goals takes patience and faith in one's ideas. Don't wait for ev...

The one critical factor that separates the high achiever from the low achiever is 'demanding the best from yourself.' In my book, “ If You Think You Can! ," this is Law #2. Like Michael Jordan and Elton John, demanding greatness from yourself is a key principle when it comes to success. Where do you need to give more than you currently do? Where do you coast when you should be hustling? What 'fundamentals' do you need to review again and again to maintain the competitive edge? Watch YouTube vide...
