The Game of Life Begins Again Now

Blog, General, SuccessBy Bob Burg April 1, 2014 14 Comments

Are you disappointed in yourself that you made a mistake you simply should not have made? We’ve all been there. We all (at least, I) continue to “be there” from time-to-time. Will you be disappointed in yourself in the future because you make a mistake that — based on past mistakes — you’ll know better…

“There are young singers who have amazing natural talent. But they haven’t learned the skills necessary to take it to the next level.” This was shared at our recent MasterMind session by a special guest invited by our host and Morning Coach Founder, JB Glossinger. This man certainly knows from whence he speaks. As the…

Why We Sabotage Our Happiness

Blog, Influence, SuccessBy Bob Burg March 13, 2014 24 Comments

Over a couple of recent posts we looked at happiness based on the premise that — whether consciously or not — it is a person’s main motivation. However, it can only be attained by acting in accordance with one’s values. We then defined happiness as being the mental feeling of well-being. We also saw that…

Happiness: It’s Really A Personal Thing

Blog, General, Influence, SuccessBy Bob Burg February 28, 2014 14 Comments

In a recent post, we explored happiness as being a person’s main motivation. And, that it can only be attained by acting in accordance with one’s values. I then posed a few questions and received some excellent responses. I’d like to restate the questions here, and answer them per my own understanding. 1. How do…

Your Inbox Empire – Wisdom from MaryEllen Tribby

Two things I’ve learned about success in just over 56 years as a resident of this planet: It leaves clues. And… It doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Success tends to occur as the result of very specific, predictable, principle-based reasons. So, when I got to meet one of my real-life action heroes, MaryEllen Tribby in…

The Motivation of Happiness

Blog, General, SuccessBy Bob Burg February 19, 2014 33 Comments

Recently, on Twitter and on my Facebook page I posted: “A person’s main motivation is happiness and this is only attained by acting in accordance with his or her values.” While I personally believe this to be the case — and I think the statement is fairly intuitive — it does bring up a few…

Seeking The Ultimate Freedom

Blog, Politics, SuccessBy Bob Burg January 29, 2014 14 Comments

In the final sentence of one of her recent daily emails, Esther Hicks wrote: “You are determined to be freedom-seekers in a Mass Consciousness society that is determined to make you the same.” What a powerful statement, and on so many levels! In the context of her entire message, she was referring to internal freedom.…

Blog, Influence, SuccessBy Bob Burg January 21, 2014 27 Comments

Recently on Facebook and Twitter I posted the following: “How far can you push a rope? Not very far. That’s why true influencers don’t push.” A reader asked, “But if you think about how hard and how often to “pull” when are you being strategic and when merely manipulative?” I thank him for caring enough…

The Enemy of Knowledge

Blog, Influence, SuccessBy Bob Burg January 13, 2014 18 Comments

The brilliant, Dr. Stephen Hawking said: “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” Profound.
