Retirement Is Not The Goal, Entrepreneurism Is - Click To Read Article
Most working men and women over the age of 50 start thinking about retirement, and many start planning for it. They do their due diligence on investment strategies, position themselves well in their companies, review their estate planning, and so on.

The Two Most Devastating Vanity Goals - Click To Read Article
There are two common goals that are promoted in American society more than any other to the point that people believe they are concrete and valuable goals to achieve. Most importantly, most devastating, is that these goals are so superficial and irrelevant, but negatively mind altering, that a person or business cannot do anything but fail trying to meet them.

A Mentor Is Important, But A Coach Is Invaluable - Click To Read Article
Both terms, mentor and coach, are used interchangeably, designating leadership in guiding others to excellence. But there is an important distinction between the two terms. A mentor lays the foundation for success to their student or client. A mentor gives advice and answers questions but rarely, if ever, follows up to check on the progress of their client. A mentor sees the people they help as clients, while a coach sees them as students with the goal of turning them into either partners or coaches themselves. While mentors have helped millions of entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground, coaches inject themselves into the process and guide the entrepreneur from business start-up to profit. Mentors generally take a hands-off approach while coaches are definitely hands-on.

Leave a Lasting Legacy or Be Completely Forgotten - Click To Read Article
Do you know your great grandfather? How about even his name? If you are a grandfather right now, do you ever talk about your father to your grandchildren? If not, then why not? Was he not an important man to you? I ask these questions now because I guarantee nobody has ever asked you these before. In today's politically correct, "everybody is special" society, you have been forced to think only in the present moment; to think about what satisfies you today. So I challenge you to think differently for a few minutes as you read on, and open your mind to the possibility of building a lasting legacy for you to be remembered eternally.

Life After Military Service - Click To Read Article
There are 2 type of heroes: Those that risk their lives to protect their family and fellow countrymen, and those that risk their financial security to preserve the fundamentals of their country's principles. You have served our grateful nation and protected us from the evil that surrounds us, and we are eternally in your debt. You are a true hero, even though I know your honor does not allow you to think of yourself that way. You, more than anyone else, understand what it means to live for something and being prepared to defend something. This is why I believe the entrepreneur is the second type of hero. Our county was founded on rugged individualism and the opportunity to pursue our own path to success, not to have our success dictated and determined by someone else. The entrepreneur does not rely on a safe and secure wage, but ...

You Really Want To Help The Poor? Get Rich! - Click To Read Article
Even though over 75% of all our taxes are paid by only 1% of our citizens, the tax revenue received for the express purpose of helping others greatly pales in comparison to the voluntary philanthropy of the wealthy 1%. And as stated earlier, these charitable funds are specifically targeted to a needy organization, hospital, or other cause, allowing the money given to actually be used by the recipients, instead of wasted in bureaucracy.
