Focus is one of the most important day-to-day tasks that top performers, or those that want to be top performers, have to understand to reach their goals.

When I woke up this morning, I was so pumped and excited about my life, I just had to take a minute to share some of the techniques I use. These are things I have incorporated into my morning routine which has lead to a difference in my overall attitude and excitement for the day. My attitude was good before and now, with some modifications to my morning routine, my attitude is fabulously phenomenal!

So as soon as I wake up, I am pumping my fist or doing some type of hand motion saying how outstanding and great today is, such as, “I am grateful to be alive and have the abundance around me.” I look at my wife and she is usually sleeping still. She is so beautiful when she is sleeping. Sometimes she Read More...

I do not care who you are, how rich, how poor, how successful or unsuccessful, everyone’s life is a series of emotional ups and downs, highs and lows. If you charted your emotions on a daily or weekly basis, you would notice that they go up and down much like a roller coaster does…. an emotional roller coaster if you will.

As a default setting, humans find it is much easier to go down the emotional roller coaster than it is to go up. When you are at the bottom, it requires more energy to bring yourself back out. How you handle this emotional roller coaster requires a decision on your part. The decision is, are you going to deal with your emotions as an adult, or are you going to deal Read More...

Garbage In, Garbage……OUT, right? Well, if you were a computer that would be the correct equation. With the computer that we call our brain, the equation is more like this:

Garbage In = Garbage Stays In and Screws Up Every Aspect of your Life!

It is true that the things we allow into our minds will unquestionably dictate the results that we see in our careers, our families, and our lives. Unfortunately, the default setting for these input sources is predominantly negative.

There’s a timeless principle that successful people live by, that I realized can be used as an immediate and powerful boost to your self-esteem and your emotions. Volumes have been written and spoken about this principle over the millennia, but I still see people not understanding or misunderstanding it all the time, and the result is a major amount of unnecessary stress.

The principle I’m referring to is what we call Be, Do, Have. I definitely did not invent this terminology, but it IS descriptive. It basically says that the person you are (Be) influences your actions (Do), and those actions inexorable create your results (Have). Think about it. If you’ve even BEEN really serious Read More...

I was driving around last week listening to a guy named Andy Andrews in my car, and he said something that hit me right between the eyes.  Mr. Andrews (author of the book The Traveler’s Gift) was saying that if he was allowed only 1 minute on stage and one thing to say that would change someone’s life, it would be an easy decision for Read More...

Approximately six weeks ago I found myself struggling to find the energy to do the smallest of tasks. I felt like I needed discipline to do everything. Things frustrated me. People were idiots. Situations were stressful. Time was always running short. Then, through the power of truth coming off a page, I was hit with a revelation: I have the ability to CHOOSE my life.

Everything in my life that I was experiencing was of my making, and I had the Power at work within me to create a new Life.
