linchpin in training
No, my wife isn’t going into labor 13 weeks early. Instead, it’s time for me to truly get down to work. As I mentioned in my post yesterday, Labor Day in my eyes is viewed as a fresh start. It’s the first day of the rest of your working life, regardless of what happened yesterday. [...]
Have you ever bought a product from someone that promised something like instant wealth and business success in a short period of time? We’re willing to invest insane amounts of money into products and training programs that promise immediate and instant results. This is the reason the entire late-night infomercial world exists.

26 Aug 2010When confronted with death, even after a long-lived life, we’re reminded of something that we often lose sight of. We’re reminded that this is the one and only time you’ve got to have the stage all to yourself. You’re the star of the show. Can any amount of drudgery really be worth it? I don’t [...]
