Getting in and out of Trouble

One of my heroes is the legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus. I became acquainted with Mr. Nicklaus through my books and the correspondence we have carried on as he has read my various titles throughout the years.

Underachievers

Success is a wonderful concept. It is self-defining and self-fulfilling. Once we get past our school years with standardized tests and regular percentage grades, we emerge into the adult world where, to a great extent, we get to determine what is important to us.

Diversions and Disasters

I have long believed that we are all only as big as the smallest thing that it takes to divert us from our goals and our destiny.

Failure isn’t Final

Often, we try to divide the world into two groups of people: Those who succeed and those who fail. While there are countless definitions of success and failure, this seems to make a logical dividing or measuring point.

Abundance and Scarcity

Your world view is the lens through which you view your life and everything around you. Few things are more important to our success than our world view, and most people don’t even recognize that they have a world view, much less understand it.

Start with your Obituary

Most people would assume that an obituary is the final word in a person’s life; however, there was a gentleman who lived in the 19th Century for whom an obituary was a new beginning. You and I can join him.

Being Quick and Hurrying

For the past 250 years, people have been talking and writing about the fast-paced world in which we live. If we were to visit our ancestors in their environment which they believed to be fast-paced, we would find it serene and pastoral compared to our lifestyles today.

A Man Called Zig

This past weekend, I joined with people around the world who were participating live or via the Internet in the memorial service for my colleague, mentor, and friend Zig Ziglar.

A Bright Idea

Recently my company, the Narrative Television Network, was working on a documentary about Thomas Edison. We all learned about Thomas Edison in grade school, and most people would simply identify him as the inventor of the light bulb. While this is accurate, it is far from complete.

Advisors, Advice, and Advertisements

Recently, I have been researching and writing my next book. This new book, The Millionaire Map, will be out next year and deals with my own story of becoming a millionaire and interviews including research on thousands of other millionaires. Throughout this process, I have been amazed at the voluminous body of knowledge relating to wealth-building, investing, and financial topics. I have been even more amazed at how much of the advice is bogus and how many of the advisors are phonies or outright frauds.
