I know you’ve heard the saying the money’s in the list, but the money isn’t just in your email or mailing list. It’s in your to-do list too.
Increasingly I am of the opinion that life is all about lists. Lists of short term goals, lists of long term goals, task lists, checklists, etc…
To my right on my rather messy desk are to-do lists written on post-it notes for my various projects. On my computer there are several checklists I’ve created for courses and how-to guides. On the wall to my …

Wow, I feel like it’s been a while since my last post.  Well, here’s the low-down.
Remember I took that trip last month and was gone for a couple of weeks. I had a great time but taking time away from my business (obsession) really derailed me. For the past three or four years I have been laser-beam focused and insanely driven and perhaps a bit too comfortable here at the computer.
Being driven hasn’t been all bad. In the past few years I’ve managed to write two books, create two home-study …

Jim Rohn talked about the difference between those who are successful and those who are not as being not great. A series of small steps in one direction or the other will set us on our course either to failure or success.
I’ve witnessed this truth many times among friends, family and myself.  We fail to do the right thing and our lives suffer. Failing to do the right thing doesn’t always mean doing glaringly wrong things like cheating on your spouse, committing fraud, or not paying your taxes.
Failing to do …

I was someone who struggled with math growing-up. I liked math and wanted to do well  but had horrible test anxiety. My college math experience was so bad. One day I went to my instructor and plead with him to pass me through my final math class.
I had already taken the class and dropped it two or three times.  I was doing okay on the homework but I was bombing the tests. Much to my terror my pleading didn’t work. My instructor told me the worst thing possible. “Hmm…Well…let’s say …

Membership sites can be a great way to earn recurring income each month. Nearly everyone has something they can teach that people are interested in. But, even if you don’t have something you feel comfortable teaching you can always find something you want to learn,  hire someone to teach you and then record the process with audio and video and turn it into content for your site.
We have four magazine subscriptions. Half the time I don’t even look at them. I find myself going online  because the content is more …

If you are going to be an entrepreneur or solopreneur you’ve got to be a leader.  You are captain at the helm and unless you steer your ship nobody will steer it for you.
I see people buying course after course, waiting for one of those courses to have some magic formula that propels them toward instant success. It just doesn’t work that way, and the more I have thought about why people fail in their businesses or fail to make the most from courses they buy the more I think …

I am definitely a broken record when it comes to learning by doing. You can read, and read, and read but unless you get out there and do something nothing is going to happen.
Of course we can’t act on all that we read but…I know people who read everything on self help and personal development but who have been in the same place in life for years. They certainly have the foundations to do something to improve their lives but  never act.
The online world can be another great place to …

Most people who pay $500 per month for a membership program have the same questions. Even if you make good money you don’t what to give it away for nothing. So, what would make a membership program worth $500 per month?
I signed up for Armand Morin’s AM2.0 program a couple of months back. I’ll be honest, the only reason I joined was because I thought I would get a free ticket to his “Big Seminar” in Vegas over the 6th,7th, and 8th of November.  I figured I would sign up …

We all drift, and even the most disciplined of us. I often find myself wasting time checking email more than I should or drifting unproductively through some research task.
How many of you have found yourself at the computer an hour later wondering what you sat down to do in the first place. I know I am guilty of doing so from time to time. In fact, I just caught myself starting to drift into “cleaning up my desktop” mode.
As much as I hate to jump on the bandwagon with everyone …

Sorry guys, no posts for a couple of days. As you can see, the blog has been moved to it’s new location here at EntrepreneursSuccessJournal.com.  I have been working on getting the blog setup at this new location and experimenting with some different looks. My apologies if things don’t look quite right for a while. Trust me, things will look better soon.
I should listen to my own advice about outtasking and hire someone customize the blog for me but I have allowed myself to get wrapped up in playing around …
