Online Marketing Strategy: Got Your Cart Before The Horse?

What do all these questions have in common?

If I start a business, howwill I market it? If I write a book, who will publish it? If I win the lottery, how will I protect my winnings?

They’ve all got the cart before the horse! You don’t need to spend money and effort on marketinguntil you have something to sell. You don’t need a publisher until you’ve written the book, and you don’t need to worry about what to do with those lottery winnings until you’ve won.

Yes, it pays to give thought to th...

How to Accomplish Big Things

Want to know how to accomplish big things? Here’s a lesson from history on how…

Whether you’re LDS or not you probably have seen one of their 155 temples. “The Mormons” are known for their gorgeous temples. But do you know the story of the first one?

Back in the 1830s God told Joseph Smith to build a temple. Joseph shared this with the people. They owned a piece of land in Kirtland, OH they would use. Three months came and went with no work on the temple. And the Lord started to chastise Jose...

New Year’s Theme: Selecting a Theme for 2017

Each New Year, I don’t create resolutions. I select a New Year’s theme. I normally select a New Year’s theme based on an idea that strikes me… generally something to support my goals. But this year, nothing was coming, so I decided to approach my theme selection from a different angle.

Back in 2012, a good friend taught me about the 9 year cycles we go through in our lives. Each year has a specific purpose in our development, and we cycle through these 9 years from a fresh start in a year 1 t...

Validate Yourself: Stop Waiting for Someone Else to Do It

I think many of us are waiting for someone else to validate us, to make us feel like we hold value. I’ve spent most of my life waiting for someone else to see all the aspects of me and appreciate me for everything I am.

Probably only a handful of people (including my parents) have come close to seeing all of me and valuing and loving me unconditionally. I am immensely grateful for them.

Throughout my life I’ve gotten aggravated that significant others weren’t seeing the full real me. But the...

Personal Responsibility Is the Key to Peace

When you stand before your Maker, He won’t ask you what your race did, what your gender did, or what your religion did. He will ask you how you lived YOUR life. Were you loving? How did YOU treat people? You’ll have to take personal responsibility for your own actions.

Society has misdiagnosed the problem as class, race, gender or religion-based. The problem isn’t with factions or classes. The problem is with individuals who are abdicating their personal responsibility to factions, classes, n...

A Way Forward For All

The longer you live in victim land the more entitled you feel. The more entitled you feel, the less personal responsibility you take. Where there is no personal responsibility there can be no freedom. And thus, victim land equals slavery… To your fears, your lack of action, your lack of looking for solutions, and to those who wish to keep you a victim so they might enslave you. The only way to freedom is through personal responsibility. Always beware of those who want you to cont...

Online Business Training At Its Best

This year is whizzing by, and I’d say one of the biggest highlights of my year has been getting to work with Jen Houlk and David Perdew of MyNAMS. These folks are online business training masters.

Getting to see behind the scenes on how these brilliant minds work has been a great experience for me. I’ve also seen inside all their training materials and resources. I’m telling you, these folks know how to do business training. If you’re thinking about starting an online business or are already...

Power of Mothers: Why Liberals Want Mothers In The Worforce

There’s this article going around that says Joe Biden blamed the economy on “Lazy American Women” who won’t work. It had a bunch of derogatory statements about women who stay home in it. When I first saw it I was enraged that he was demeaning the power of mothers. But then I realized it was a bit over the top. Nobody in his right mind would say such nonsense. So I dug deeper. I can’t find anything to corroborate the article. But I found some of the phraseology in another article and fou...

Let’s Take a Stand: What I Stand For

Many times we speak in terms of what we don’t want or what we’d like to prevent. Today I’d like to talk about what I take a standFOR.

I am FOR your right to keep the money you earn. I am FOR your right to be charitable or not. I am FOR your right to think, feel, believe, worship and speak as you wish. I am FOR your right to hate, dislike or disagree with me in your thoughts, words, beliefs or tune out anything I say. I am FOR freedom and FOR each individual taking responsibility for his or h...
