You’re working too much! You’re working too hard! And you’re not earning enough for the amount of time and effort you’re putting into this thing you call your profession or vocation. I’m not sure exactly where the idea of working hard for your money came from, but...
How prepared are you? What kind of contingency plans do you have? How long could you last in an extended emergency situation?

What happens when you just don’t want to do it anymore? What happens when you’ve lost your mojo? What do you do when the love is gone? No, I’m not talking about your personal relationships, I’m talking about your work and business and, ultimately, what we’re...
Time. One of our most valuable resources and currencies. We give it away every day in the hope that the return on the investment of our time will be greater than the cost in some way. We trade our time for income, we trade it for companionship and love, we trade it for good conversation, we...

If I told you that you every business only has four things that need to be focused on for it to be successful, I’m assuming every reasonable person would want to know what those four things are. We’ve talked many times on this show about all four of these things in great detail and...

As you all know by now, this show is all about value. It's in the name, it's what the content is all about, it's mentioned in every single episode, and it's one of the most consistent theme words in my own life. At the end of every year, I contemplate on the prior year's successes and failures,...
