I’m not talking about your income tax or your business tax. We’re talking about the success tax. Look. Everyone wants success in their life. No one is sitting on the couch excited that they aren’t successful. They may claim that to their friends, but the truth is everyone wants success… yet very few are willing to pay the success tax. I heard a story from a successful entrepreneur who said that envisions…
The heater doesn’t kick in until it’s cold. At my house, the thermostat is set for 70. The temperature falls below that, then the heat kicks in. We like it that way in our home, and my wife and I are also conscious of the other thermostat in our minds. Our mindset can be like a thermostat – changing when we hit highs or lows in our thinking. A typical example of this is the entrepreneur who is doing well…
It’s incredible how narrow-minded I can be. I was reminded of this recently when I had a conversation with someone else. He was a business owner. His business was as a distributor for an MLM supplement company. He was “all in” and on cloud nine with the possibilities of his new venture. I asked who his ideal dream client was – someone in the fitness or health industry with a following, he responded after some thought. “Awesome. How much is…
“I want to leave her.” “If we continue down this path, we’re going to end up splitting up.” “I feel like I’m settling.” The above comments are just a few that I’ve heard this past week. Mostly from men, since I primarily work with businessmen, but the conversation is similar when I talk to women as well. These conversations start off with a lot of charge to them. You can feel the anger and resentment towards their partner. Not…
“I’m going to start doing live videos, but first I need to get the right background.” That’s what I used to tell myself. Then, when the background was right, it became about the lighting. When the lighting was right, it became about the energy… “I’m too tired, so I’ll film tomorrow.” We all go through some version of this right? I did and still do today, just not about video. We call it Imposter Syndrom. It comes down to…
Do you ever feel overwhelmed? I certainly do. When I’m overwhelmed, I’m not the best version of me. I’m usually moody, easily upset, and I often find myself getting tired. Sometimes I just say fuck it, let’s go grab a drink and call it a day. This isn’t the best version of me. The feeling of overwhelming comes from reaching too far. It comes from trying to do more than I actually think I can do and ultimately leads…
Making big changes in life is all about hitting singles. My brother used to tell me that about business (and he’s right), but this also applies to making changes in other areas of your life as well. It’s the little things, done consistently, that provide lasting change and produce the greatest results over time. Let’s take weight loss for example. If you want to drop 10 pounds, then do you try to spend 12 hours a day for three days…
Do you know what business you’re in? Of course you do! Or, perhaps it’s worth taking another look. I thought I knew exactly what business I was in when I was first asked this question, but it took some thinking. “What business am I really in? When I first answered this question, I was the owner of a personal training studio in Santa Barbara, California. I was, I thought, in the business of providing personal training services to my clients.
Finding the right time to send emails is an art form in itself. If you monitor your open rates and keep statistical analysis, then it becomes a science. I’d love to say that I do that on a regular basis – check the stats of the emails I send out from my inbox to see when people are reading them. I don’t. Luckily, the CRM I use does. Here is a great graphic they send me via email this morning…
Having had the opportunity to work with amazing artists, businessmen and women, executives, actors, and scholars has opened my eyes to the differences between those that are successful and those that simply just wannabe. The wannabes hope that someday they’ll strike it rich, get discovered, figure it out, and “it will all come together. It doesn’t. The successful people make it happen. They grind it out and put the work in day after day after day. They are World Class.
