  • The Most Important Constraint

    ·

    By the Ocean Partly Cloudy 77 Degrees 6:05 a.m. For somebody who values freedom, the idea of embracing constraints might seem a little weird. But constraints make decisions easier. And if they are TRUE constraints, meaning they are things you’re not going to change, then only an insane person would invest effort in trying. WHO…

  • Giving to Yourself What You Can’t Get From Others

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 77 Degrees 7:59 a.m. The most powerful way to attract clients is to learn to love yourself. They don’t write business books about this because very few people have the guts to say the obvious things. The validation and acceptance you get from others is fake and fleeting. It’s not the…

  • Standing Out

    ·

    By the Ocean Partly Cloudy 78 Degrees 8:22 a.m. Without rough edges, there’s nothing to make you interesting. The good news is that you DO have rough edges. Rough is probably the wrong word though. A specific “outline” might be a better phrase to describe it. Points of differentiation is even better than that. “Unique…

  • The Journey

    ·

    By the Ocean Mostly Cloudy 76 Degrees 6:22 a.m. As best I can measure, I write about two or three new books per year. They don’t look like books, because they are in newsletter form. Print, email and this Daily Journal. Why do I do this? Because I am committed to the journey. Business is…

  • The Body of Work

    ·

    By the Ocean Cloudy 75 Degrees 6:14 a.m. If you don’t create a media platform, I’m not sure HOW you build credibility and authority in a world where most of what you see is fake. You need the body of work. Without it, there’s no proof that what you say is real. The body of…

  • Making People Do What You Want

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 76 Degrees 6:33 a.m. Stop trying to make people want what you have. Trying to control another human so that you can eat is a recipe for insanity. People want what they want. You are not going to change that. Humans are already filled with desire for pretty much everything! You…

  • The World’s Best U.S.P.

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 78 Degrees 6:41 a.m. The Matrix tricked you into thinking you need a U.S.P. (Unique Selling Proposition) YOU ARE THE U.S.P. The fact that people will laugh at that shows you how complete the brainwashing is. My U.S.P. is that you get ME! You get my unique vibe, my way of…

  • Do You Think You’re Valuable?

    ·

    By the Ocean A Few Clouds 75 Degrees 6:05 a.m. Do you think you’re valuable? Most people have two answers to that question. They have the answer they SAY and then they have the answer they FEEL. Everyone would probably say they are valuable. That’s obvious right, that you are? It’s pretty easy to say,…

  • I Was Taught to Hate Money

    ·

    By the Ocean Clear 76 Degrees 5:46 a.m. I was taught to hate money. But I also found that I really enjoyed getting money. Put those two ideas into a kid, without any direction or guidance to help him resolve the conflict, and weird stuff will happen. I grew up in the vibration of lack.…

  • Writing With Power

    ·

    By the Ocean Sunny 78 Degrees 8:15 a.m. When it comes to the metric I refer to as “transformation per dollar,” the most valuable thing I’ve ever made for the world is this, a simple four-part workshop about writing. I created it with a single purpose: to free the writing power of business owners from…
