The Weakest Form of Influence

The other day a friend asked on Facebook, “What’s your take on income screen shots?” No doubt, establishing credibility (showing your audience you can do that which they want you to teach them how to do), can be helpful. Income screenshots are 1 of the ways to do this, there are others. Here’s the thing …

Alexandria

The royal Egyptian library of Alexandria is said to have been one of the largest libraries of the ancient world containing anywhere from 40,000 to 400,000 ancient scrolls compiled from 300 BC to 30 BC.

The Lost Essence of Success

I remember having sushi with a great entrepreneur friend of mine who’d just sold his business and put a couple million in the bank. He was sharing dreams of his next big venture, something massive, something that would become a household name. ‘Why’ I questioned sincerely. Because I haven’t done anything truly huge yet, he …

A Better Goal

It’s tempting to want to get to the top and be seen and cheered by the world. It happened for Jim Carrey & you know what he said? Even with the millions of dollars and the millions of fans, he found himself alone, depressed and defeated inside. Maybe a different kind of goal can bring …

Used

In many cases, ‘new‘ means more money and in some cases, wasted money. The new car off the lot instantly loses thousands. The new house can cost many extra thousands. Why not buy used? Used cars can save you a few and even make you a few when sold. Used books from thrift store can cost you a …
