Motivational Monday #15

Rudy just found out that he only made the Notre Dame Football Team’s practice squad and wouldn’t be allowed to dress in the uniform or play in actual games. The discouraging news made Rudy think twice about his lifelong dream of becoming a Notre Dame Football player – even after everything he’d already accomplished…

If I had to pick just one, I’d say this is probably my favorite scene from the movie, Rudy, which is based on a true story.

An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom: Episode 20

To be totally honest, I created this episode without a real topic in mind. I’m just really ecstatic about what’s going on in my life right now!

For the last 9 years, I’ve been dreaming of being the owner of a Ferrari 360 Modena with F1 Transmission and it finally happened! Taking delivery of my dream car was such an incredible experience!

The experience made me realize something pretty significant about success though…

An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom: Episode 19

Last week during my vacation to Cancun, I had the opportunity to see Chichen Itza which is one of the 7 Wonders of the World!  I was thrilled to spend a Tuesday afternoon exploring another one of the 7 Wonders of the World!

Seeing all 7 Wonders of The World is a high priority on my bucket list and now I’m up to 3! One of the main reasons I now have the ability to explore the world on a Tuesday afternoon instead of sitting in an office is because of my ability to dream…

An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom: Episode 18

Last week, my wife and I stayed at an amazing all-inclusive resort during our vacation… It was the second month in a row we’ve been on a vacation in Cancun, Mexico!! I feel extremely blessed to be able to say that.

But here’s the thing… I want you to be able to say that, too! In fact, one of my main reasons for writing The Unemployed Millionaire and creating this show was to share the exact road-map I used to reach success so that anybody who wants this kind of lifestyle can go out and get it.

In this episode, I share one of the main differences between the wealthy and unwealthy. This wealth principle is surprisingly simple and an imperative part of reaching success…

Motivational Monday #14

Superbowl Sunday is coming up and you know what that means… Tons of new commercials!

I’m actually not a huge fan of commercials (or TV for that matter) but I’ve found that a good majority of the Nike ads feature messages actually teach us a few lessons about achieving success. In honor of Superbowl Sunday Week, I’ve uncovered a few of my favorite Nike commercials with inspiring lessons about success.  Take a look…

An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Lifestyle Freedom: Episode 17

Every self-made millionaire reached success because they first developed an ability to manage time. In my early years as an entrepreneur, I spent alot of time and alot of money looking for the ultimate time management system.

Quite frankly though,  the phrase ‘time management’ grew meaningless to me once I realized it’s not physically possible to manage time. We can, however, manage our actions.

I took bits of knowledge from all of the time management systems I learned to create an action management system that got me where I am today. Here is what I came up with…

The Unemployed Millionaire Show: Episode 16

If you’re like me, you’ve heard how powerful goal setting can be but you’re fed up with setting goal after goal with grand ambitions – only to fall short. It makes you feel like giving up on goal setting altogether; which I actually considered just a few short years ago, until I came across this old saying:

“Dreams keep you going, but your goals keep you on track.”

I realized I wasn’t fed up with setting goals – I was fed up with the process of setting goals so I made a few strategic revisions to my goal setting system…

The third and most important way you shape your beliefs is what you say and think about yourself – your internal programming. Our subconscious mind absorbs every single word, action, and thought which leads to a negative or positive result for our self-identity…

This week’s Motivational Monday video left me absolutely speechless to say the least…

What others say about us is the second of the three major ways our beliefs are shaped. Oftentimes in life, we take on what others say we can or cannot do as fact and weave their statements into our personal identity.

How Others Shaped My Beliefs

My first memory of  someone saying something to me that affected my personal identity took place when I was eleven years old and in the 6th grade.

I had never ran a race before in my life – until one day in P.E. class, the teacher made my class race 10 laps around the football field (one mile). I noticed after six laps that I was in the Top 10 and immediately turned it up a notch so that I could hopefully reach first place…
