The Myth of ‘Spending Money’

Need some help with your budget? Dr. John Demartini has a saying that goes “If you don’t fill you day with high-priority actions that inspire you, it will fill with low-priorities that frustrate you.” Essentially, it means that you need to manage your time wisely. That saying is true for all of the resources under […]

Who’s Got My Money?

How much money are you leaving on the table because you don’t sell as efficiently as you could be? Here’s a quick tip: you can learn all the little techniques and body-language quirks and buy everyone’s program, but there’s one crucial thing that if you don’t master, you’ll never be the best salesperson you could […]

I Deserve to be Rich and You Do Too

What’s stopping you from achieving the dream that you say that you want? Is it your employees? Your customers? Your spouse? The government? Actually, it’s none of those things. The thing that’s stopping you is you. Need some evidence? Try saying the phrase “I deserve to be wealthy.” How did that feel? Literally, what do […]

Keep your hands off that marshmallow. Here’s a quick explanation if you don’t know what I’m talking about: in the 60s there was an experiment done at Stanford involving delayed gratification. A group of children were each given marshmallows and told that, if they resisted the temptation to eat them immediately, they’d get another. Later […]

Don’t Abdicate Your Accountability

You can’t hide from your money. I have nothing against book keepers or accountants, but I think a lot of business owners abdicate to them much too early. Your cash flow is the life-blood of your business. Your financial data is the foundation of your strategic planning. Knowing your numbers is mandatory to effectively run […]

Put Your Money to Work

One of the themes that emerged at one of our recent Command & Conquer workshops was the question, “what exactly do I want in my life?” It’s easy to get carried away. Most of us tell ourselves and others that we know EXACTLY why we do what we do. But that couldn’t be further from […]
