Quitting disgust me. Failure I can tolerate.

When I was in college, I could never understand how people quit. It baffled me. Why would you go through the rigorous admissions process to only quit a few quarters in?

The same applies to business. I can honestly say that I’ve had plenty of business failures, but I’ve never quit. I’ve meet tons of people throughout my quest for success in business who began their journey with promise, to later quit with ease. [Read more →]

I had the pleasure of meeting Christopher Witt at the Toastmasters District One conference this year back in April. I noticed he had just published a book – Real Leaders Don’t Do Powerpoint. I really wanted a copy, but I left my cash at home. But luckily, out of a spirit of generosity, he gave me one for free.

I will write a book myself, so I used this moment to ask a published author what it took to get his book published. He said it took about 3 years from start to finish. He also shared an insight that I didn’t expect. He said that although he published his book traditionally, he recommended that I look into self-publishing.

He then went on to describe how traditional publishers have new requirements, most notably, authors having their own following before they even look at your manuscript. I shared with Christopher that building a tribe of followers had be a struggle for me. I asked him what I could do to improve my odds.

He suggested that I read Michael Hyatt’s, Platform: Get Noticed In A Noisy World. I knew who Michael was from listening to his podcast, so I was already familiar with his style and I liked it. [Read more →]

Good leaders prance. Great leaders soar.

How much time do you put into becoming a great leader? Anytime at all? Why or why not? Is it because you don’t have the time? Or, because you don’t see yourself as a leader at all?

If you’re reading this, you’re a leader. Plain and simple. No if, and’s, or but’s about it. And even if you weren’t reading this you’d still be a leader because if you don’t lead a team, you lead yourself.

Deep down inside, you believe you’re full of untapped potential and possibility. Unfortunately, you haven’t figured out how to let it out. Essentially, you haven’t figured out how to position yourself as a great leader. [Read more →]

Imagine you’re earning $2,000 a month, net income. You’re overhead is roughly around $800 month, which leaves you with a nice $1,200 cushion. We’ll call it disposable income.

But there’s a problem.

Each month, you manage to spend more than you earn. That $1,200 magically grows legs and walks out of your bank account and pocket. And the worst part of it all is that you don’t even know where it went.

Have you been in a situation like this before? [Read more →]

See how newlyweds Angela and Ted Jalad erased $50,000 worth of debt in one year.

Here are the steps you can take to emulate their success:

1. Allocate your entire tax refund to debt, as well as proceeds from the sale of luxury items and your savings.

2. Live frugal by living off of half of your paychecks, and allocate any extra disposable income to your debt

3. Give yourself a spending allowance for food

4. Live with your parents for free or a reduced rent

5. Drive one car

6. Spend your free time honing a new craft or in a hobby instead of entertainment and dining out

7. Once you pay off all your debts, focus on savings

It takes sacrifice to follow through on this plan. However, if you really want to enjoy a future full of happiness, success, and wealth, in the long run, you’ll be glade you did this.

The US Federal Reserve just announced that its redesigned $100 bills will go into circulation on October 8. The rollout, originally planned for 2010, was delayed by production issues with the blue ribbon that’s threaded through the note.

Could you imagine spending your whole life working to be broke by the time you reach retirement? Unfortunately, this is a reality for far too many people living in the world today.

Some people spend their whole lives dreading to wake up Monday morning to work for the only people who like them enough to give them money. By the time these people get their paychecks, most of it is already spent on last week’s bills and next months mortgage with very little left over to save. [Read more →]

How do you save money when you’re living paycheck to paycheck?

You’ve probably heard people express to you how much they want to save but just can’t seem to figure out how because all their expenses keep eating away at their paycheck.

They talk about all the bills they have to pay. The lights, the car notes, and all those credit card they’ve ran up. Each pay period they go through the same vicious cycle of earning money, and spending most of it before they even reach their payday.

Unfortunately, people make costly decisions like not savings properly for now and the future day in and day out. But what’s really scary is that most of these people really do want to save and are stressing themselves out because they know they need to save but have no idea how to so.

If you find yourself stuck in a non-savings rut and you’re ready to doing something about it, below are 3 simple steps you can take to start saving more money now: [Read more →]

When you really want something, what do you do? You pay for it!

But what if you don’t have to money saved up to do so?

I recently saw an episode of a TV show that comes on in Britain called Accused. On this particular episode, a man was being accused of using counterfeit money to pay for his daughters wedding.

Now the catch was that he really didn’t know the money was counterfeit after finding it in the back of a taxicab. But due to his comprising situation – he had recently done $22,000 pounds of plumbing work to pay for his daughters wedding, but the checked that was used to pay him bounced and in a act of desperation – he felt he had to roll the dice and use this “free money” he found in the back of a taxicab to cover his cost.

Unfortunately he crapped out, and due to his act of desperation, he ended up spending the next six years of his life in prison due to the luck of the draw and because he didn’t take the steps to save for this important moment in his life. [Read more →]
