By the Ocean Clear 71 Degrees 6:15 a.m. What’s the right word to use for someone who makes a living doing something they really love? Do we call that “work?” That doesn’t quite sound right. I don’t think we can call it “play” either. That sounds a little bit silly. The Matrix isn’t setup with

By the Ocean Sunny 78 Degrees 9:04 a.m. Writing is talking in print. In school, this definition gets you an F. In business, this definition gets you everything you want. The problem isn’t that people don’t know how to write. The problem is that there are LAYERS of “fake you” that bury what you’re really

By the Ocean Sunny 72 Degrees 6:47 a.m. I waited a long time for the world to recognize my brilliance. When I mostly worked with clients, this was always a problem. Because that’s not how human nature works. They usually recognized it at the beginning. But even if Jesus showed up to work with you,

By the Ocean Partly Cloudy 76 Degrees 6:55 a.m. As crazy as it might sound, when I’m working with a business owner, I’m not really trying to communicate with them. I’m on a quest for answers to questions we sometimes don’t even know to ask! So I’m not trying to get my ideas across to

By the Ocean Sunny 76 Degrees 7:49 a.m. The less you “sell” the more you can charge. Why do you want to charge more? Because humans have been so brainwashed about the value of their contribution to the world that “charging more” is how we get closer to the truth. It forces you to grow

By the Ocean Sunny 73 Degrees 7:05 a.m. The older I get, the less sure I am about most things. I’m more sure about ME. About who I am and why I’m here. But I’m less sure about everything else. If you keep learning, keep digging, keep doing your best to expand your mind, then

By the Ocean Sunny 76 Degrees 7:53 a.m. Over the past 25 years, one of my biggest challenges in business has been my willingness to work hard. It hasn’t been an advantage, it’s been a huge obstacle. If you are trained by the Matrix, you know that hard work is required for success. When you

By the Ocean Sunny 75 Degrees 7:21 a.m. Value is 100% subjective. I can charge one business owner $20,000 for something that another one would find worthless. This is not a problem. This is an opportunity. Unfortunately, when we’re thinking of putting a value on our work, or what we make or what we offer,
