As a libertarian, I respectfully make no bones about my belief that the highest value a country can embrace is the rights of the individual. With that, government’s major legitimate function is simply to protect those rights. This creates an environment where people can create value and trade freely with one another. (Protected from force…
There’s a saying which, for many years, has been one of my personal favorites: “How you do anything is how you do everything.” This point is often hammered home by my friend, Achievement Authority Tom Terwilliger, as he did in this recent post. It was a consistent theme throughout T. Harv Eker’s book, Secrets of…
In a recent post it was suggested that before we could influence others regarding the value we provide them, we must first influence ourselves.

Could that really be true though? Does fear really play that big a role in our lives? According to internationally-known speaker…
Before we can influence others, we must first be able to influence ourselves that we have something of value to offer. I mean, if *we* wouldn’t listen to us…why would anyone else? At my live programs, I often bring up the story of my great friend, Amy Wells, owner of The Bridal Salon of San…

Like many content-providers, I am disturbed by the huge amount of intellectual property theft over the Internet. Sure, it occurred pre-Internet but the now robust amount of easily accessible information has made this a profound issue. Impacted most are movie producers, musical artists, authors, bloggers and many more. Now, wouldn’t it be best to just…
