As one famous book title put it, “If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, You’ll Probably End Up Somewhere Else”  By assessing your inner subconscious desires and aligning them with your daily habits and conscious actions, you'll be on the way to making your dreams a reality!

In order to tap into your full range of talents and potential, you must learn to harness your subconscious thinking. A large portion of my work is focused on helping leaders and entrepreneurs to uncover their own internal thinking – thoughts they may not even be aware of are having a very large impact on their efforts to reach the lives they seek to build. Helping others to tap into their inner potential and identify what goals they really

It is instrumental that we learn how to conduct ourselves as gentlemen – or as ladies – if we hope to make a positive impact on the world. Very few among us can hope to make it on our merit alone – we first must signal that we are a professional through other means, including our clothes, manners and grooming. Listen to find tips on how you can make your presence and presentation work for you! View the video and full post here: http://snip.ly/Hybx  Summary: Manners truly can make the man – or woman. This is a lesson I was reminded of recently when I sat back to enjoy the film, “The Kingsmen: The Secret Service” starring Colin Firth. While the movie is a very enjoyable action ride, it also tells a story about what it takes to be considered a gentleman. In the film, there is a very strict code of conduct that is necessary in order to become a member of an elite spy unit. No matter how strong one’s skills are at espionage, they are for moot without proper decorum and style. The movies resonated with me because o

Exercise might not seem to have an awful lot to do with money or attaining wealth. But I would argue that guides to clean eating and physical fitness should absolutely be included in the personal finance section of the book store. Here are some general guidelines that can help you to integrate more physical activity into your daily schedule so that you can remain in prime shape to tackle your goals.

Why is a gym or a small set of personal equipment maybe the best investment you can make for your financial future? It may not seem intuitive, but there is a direct correlation between your fitness and your finances. Studies have proven that the most successful and high achieving of professionals make time, no matter how crazy their schedule can get, to fit in regular and hard driving workouts. The reality is that sticking to a rigorous routine - and holding high expectations for your physical condition - cre

What distinguishes those who ultimately end up with more commas in their bank account from those who remain in the same cubicle? Mindset. Future millionaires approach their jobs very differently – they see working for someone else as an opportunity to learn about how they can become the boss themselves. They see each day as a lesson, in the front row of the classroom, to take away when they launch their own empire.

Recognize the financial myths that have been holding you back, and take charge of your financial future.Don't be limited by these common misperceptions. View the full post and video here: http://snip.ly/RCAG Summary: We all love stories. From the beginning of our society, they have helped us connect to each other and find meaning in the world. But what kinds of stories are you telling yourself about your money goals and your plan to reach them? Learn to be aware of these stories – and how to discern the truth from fiction. Too many of us continue to indulge in “happy think” and mythology about where we really stand rather than face a potentially unpleasant reality. It may feel good in the short term to tell ourselves what we want to hear about where we stand, but we are only doing real damage to our prospects over the long run. Is saving the same as earning more money? Can you achieve success all on your own? Have the limits on how much you will be able to earn in your life already been set in stone? Do you h

The roots of success and failure are found in numerous small decisions that you make each and every day about how you are spending your precious energy and time. Are the steps you are taking today moving you in the right direction? Read the full post: http://snip.ly/Nk1f Summary: We all make decisions each day – many without even actively thinking about them as we make them. They may seem to be small actions, but they collectively add up to determine the quality and impact of the days, months, and years that make up our lives. Are you actively making decisions that drive you toward reaching the outcomes and goals that you have set for yourself? Or are you allowing your decisions be made by others or by default? It can be very easy to justify making small deviations away from your fitness or financial goals when caught up in the moment. But allowing the exception to prevail each and every time is a surefire strategy that will se

A surefire way to turbocharge your career is to establish yourself as a public speaker.

My career before I began speaking publically looked very different from the opportunities that I have available today. If I can do it – so can you.

A key difference for high achievers is that they won’t accept limits – not on their ambitions and not on their income. They don’t stop dreaming even when they awake – and they take deliberate actions toward making their dreams reality. View the full post and video here: http://snip.ly/gmQ7  Summary:  The power of dreams is that there are no limits to what is possible. You can do anything and go anywhere. You are limited only by the power of your imagination. What do high achievers across all disciplines have in common? They refuse to ever wake up from their dreams. They don’t accept limits and they won’t bow to conventional wisdom.  They don’t care a wit for following arbitrary rules that only put shackles on their ambitions and income. In short – they refuse to accept limits. And yet too many of us have resigned ourselves to waking from our dreams. We bring a worker’s mentality to the world. We think about our future gains in terms of promotions and raises – instead of thinking outside the box. Instead
