I’m obsessed with the binary differences between mega successful entrepreneurs and the thousands of people struggling to succeed.

You should be obsessed with this too.

If you’re a business owner, you’re playing with some ludicrous odds.

The US Treasury puts out an annual report that shows roughly half of American adults aspire to the idea of starting their own business. Meanwhile the number of people who actually start their own company is a only single digit percentage.

Then, the number of people who achieve wealth or any real sense of freedom through their business… well, it’s a minuscule fraction of an already tiny fraction.

That is why the only question that matters, is this one:

What are the real winners – the mega successful entrepreneurs – doing that everyone else is not?  Continue reading “How wannabe entrepreneurs ruin their New Year “

We all – us entrepreneurs – want to be “in-the-zone” as much as possible. The term gets thrown around a lot. What does it actually look and feel like?

Crystal clear thinking.

Singular purpose.

Impervious to any distraction.

Excited. Enthusiastic. Passionate.

Like a laser-guided missile homing in on a target.

Like the total alignment of mind, body, spirit and purpose.

The feeling that you’re doing precisely what you’re supposed to be doing – and loving it at the same time.

Sounds good right? I don’t know about you, but as I write this I can practically taste the ZONE!  Continue reading “How to prevent the brain fog that stops you thinking straight and moving forward”

It’s time to come clean and tell you what’s really going on.

There are two parts to this update: The “What” and the “Why”. Let’s start with Why:

I’m really fed up and frustrated.

Productivity Software is utterly broken. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t get results.

Aspiring entrepreneurs are desperate. They’re frantically searching for breakthroughs. Hunting for anything that promises to boost their personal effectiveness.

They wage constant internal battles with themselves, where one part of them has unbelievably huge expectations and ambitions for their success… while the other part just wants to surf Facebook and watch Netflix. They hype themselves up and then beat themselves up… all in the same afternoon!

Meanwhile, their actual business is the refugee caught in the psychological crossfire.  Continue reading “Why I’m quitting my business to build software “

My gears are really grinding on this one. It’s time to put an end to an insidious, toxic and manipulative lie that entrepreneurs are being sold.

The worst part? They’re so brainwashed, they tell THEMSELVES the lie too.

It goes like this:

  1. You’re struggling to get results with whatever it is you’re doing.
  2. You get training, coaching, consulting or you join some mastermind group to fix your stuck-ness.
  3. Eventually, you realize whoever is supposed to be helping you… isn’t. 
  4. They tell you that you have a limiting belief that is preventing you from succeeding.

These four steps are the beginning of an unethical bait and switch. Thousands of desperate-for-help entrepreneurs are being sucked in and no one is saying anything.

Let’s point a floodlight on this and expose the truth.  Continue reading “The staggering lie of so-called Limiting Beliefs”

Is there any human desire more universal than the itch to improve ourselves?

The itch is the force behind multi-billion dollar industries in health, fitness, self-help, publishing, medicine and therapy. It’s especially vexing to entrepreneurs, who are the most optimistic of all when it comes to their intentions for the future versus where they are today.

It doesn’t matter if we’re talking business bottom line, your love life or your waist size. No business owner can escape it: When there’s a gulf between the results you’re producing now and how you think you should be doing, you’re feeling the tickle. The itch is always there.

For most people, having an epiphany – the feeling of a big breakthrough – is the soothing aloe for the self-improvement itch.

You read books. Ask for advice. Attend workshops. Hire therapists. All to have an “aha” moment so you can finally start doing better.

The problem is: It doesn’t work.  Continue reading “Why Breakthroughs & Epiphanies don’t work anymore”
