Having your head in a good place is essential if you want to experience power, profit and peace of mind day in and day out. When you are worry-free, doubt-free and in a calm mental state you perform better. You have the capacity to think clearly. You are naturally more creative. You get things done, and you enjoy the process. When you are in a mental funk everything is harder. Simple things are a pain in the ass. You react, instead of responding at work, and at home. Your sense of satisfaction and accomplishment fly out the window. I know you have days…

I’ve known Roger since I was 14. He’s the one who asked me to be the lead singer for The Long March, a post-punk electronic band in the early ’80s. Together Roger and I wrote music, played in bands, even got signed to a record label. The song we wrote for Markus Schulz hit #29 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart. Our history as musical collaborators is littered with some pretty wild stories. About a year ago, I told Roger I wanted to write another charting song – just for the fun of it. His response “A 47-year-old guy…

The other day a client asked me about my 10/10 Visualization Process. Today I wanted to get it in your hands for one simple reason: It’s the ideal way to leverage the power of emotion to get more of want you want, fast. We live in an attraction-based Universe. The happier you are with what you already have, the more you get what makes you happy. And, the inverse is true. If you are dissatisfied with your current situation, that energy muddles up your intentions. The more dissatisfied you are, the more you get what dissatisfies you. The good news…

Yesterday, I revealed one of my favorite contrarian strategies for success: I call it Lowering The Bar. As a coach for over two decades, I can say with certainty that setting big goals and missing them has become an unchecked epidemic in the US. Let me tell you why: Successful people are willing to put in the work. But secretly they feel defeated when they miss the mark on the goals they set for themselves. Successful people conveniently forget that THEY CREATED THE GOAL and then they beat themselves up when they fail to meet or exceed it (reducing their mental…

My God, your goals are expensive. And I am not talking about the amount of money you plan to shell out for your next car, vacation, or must-have toy. No, I am talking about the cost of your time… your well-being… your sense of joy and happiness. I guarantee that right now you are making a series of choices, and taking a series of actions all designed for your “someday life.” You know, the life when you FINALLY get to relax. When your calendar is empty. When you have the luxury of asking yourself “what do I want to…

Making money is pretty easy.  I know that sounds arrogant and I apologize if your Drunk Monkey reacts, BUT that’s the problem. Your Drunk Monkey has a story about money that limits you.  Money is easy.  Yet, everyone says it’s hard.  So you become convinced.  Everyone says it takes hard work.  And, that’s partially true. What most people don’t realize is that it is the RESISTANCE to work that makes it “hard.” One thing that makes it hard is failing to recognize the fundamentals of work like rest cycles.  Consider this: If you keep pushing yourself to produce you will burn out which…

Many of my clients are big ballers making 7 or 8 figures in personal income a year.  Many are up-and-comers who are on their way to that level of income. And many make a big mistake when it comes to money, which leads to suffering and frustration. Truth is when new clients come to me most of them believe that when they have more money, life will be easier than it is today.  This is a mistake. Someday life will NOT be easier when you have more money.  Sorry. If fact, the hard cold truth is, making a ton of…

I am willing to bet you are distracted by your life. You have goals you want to achieve. You have things you want to buy. You have trips to take, hobbies to do, people to see… Let’s be honest. There are times when you wish things were different, right? Now, let’s be REALLY honest. There are times when you blame your existing for life being in the way of the life you really want. And that sucks. But it doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, I am about to show you exactly how to take your existing life,…

Illogical Rules are cultural rules that are promoted as appropriate, important or valuable but, in fact, following them degrades you. These are rules you are following that don’t even exist but you follow them anyway. These rules have been passed down for generations and seem real because everyone around you appears to be following them too. Spotting the Illogical Rules you are following is easy. Their descriptions include have to, need to, must, should, and shouldn’t. Here’s a basic list of Illogical Rules that don’t exist. Notice as you read them, they sound like truth and doctrine. You have to…
