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...
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...

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,...
