Blog, Interviews, SuccessBy Bob Burg July 31, 2014 4 Comments

Chris Brogan is one of my favorite people, and I’m far from the only one who feels that way. While renown for his online prowess, that’s not how he built his business.

Blog, SuccessBy Bob Burg July 1, 2014 6 Comments

My great friend, author and Certified Go-Giver Speaker, Corey Jahnke (whom I call the “Zen Pharmacist”) often writes about an affliction called “ANTS.” ANTS stands for “Automatic Negative ThoughtS.” According to Corey, we human beings have thousands of random thoughts per day. Thus, “the more of those thoughts we allow to be negative, disempowering, and…

Years ago a little book authored by the late, Dr. Richard Carlson entitled, Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff…and It’s All Small Stuff provided some much-needed wisdom for those of us whose sense of peace of mind and happiness were continually disturbed by life’s little inconveniences.

Perhaps they are a family member, an employee, business associate, supplier, a student, or anyone else who knows you and experiences you on a regular or even semi-regular basis. As you walk into the room, how does he or she feel? Are they thinking, “Here is the person who is going to inspire me, bring…

We met via an introduction from Wharton Professor and noted bestselling author, Dr. Adam Grant. He told me she was someone I needed to connect with. And, when Adam says that, I listen!

More on Receptivity And Worthiness Issues

Blog, Success, The Go-GiverBy Bob Burg May 6, 2014 18 Comments

We recently looked at why it can be so difficult to receive. When combining the many “scarcity messages” society provides us along with a lack of self-worth the results can be devastating.
