Stop chasing shadows
July 28, 2021 18:09 - 4 minutes - 5.27 MBStop chasing shadows. Take Your Power Back! So many people are dealing with effects versus causes. Look, the ONLY thing that's "real' is that which cannot be changed. All else is temporal and transitory. There is no illness for illness is ONLY the absence of health. Therefore "illness" is a condition not a cause nor a principle. There is no "evil" for evil is ONLY the word "LIVE" spelled backwards. Therefore evil is ONLY to LIVE in a backward way. It's a condition, not a cause or pr...
Resist nothing. Utilize everything
July 02, 2021 19:32 - 4 minutes - 5.06 MBThe greatest cause of suffering in your life is what I collectively call The Resistance. The Resistance is a comprised of a collection of beliefs, values, assumptions, perceptions, and identifiers that you call "ME" or your "SELF". But when you look closely and clearly, you begin to recognize that NONE of what you call "me" or "self" is real. NONE of it. When you realize this, you become free...
The Quality of Your Life
June 18, 2021 22:41 - 3 minutes - 3.95 MBYou can measure the quality of your life... By the quality of your relationships. Relationships are EVERYTHING! First and foremost, you MUST have a relationship with YOURSELF. You have a relationship between your Conscious Mind, your Unconscious Mind and you Higher Conscious Mind. This is critical to your happiness, fulfillment, purpose and performance. Then and ONLY THEN can you have a great relationship with OTHERS. Think about it: How can you ever expect to have a great relationsh...
Financial Freedom
June 02, 2021 19:56 - 4 minutes - 5.07 MBYou want financial freedom? You will NEVER be financially free. No matter how many millions or billions you have in assets or in the bank. Never! That is unless and until YOU are free. You see, no amount of money will give you something that you AREN'T. And the FACT, is that the only people who worry more about money than the money poor... Are the money RICH! Financial freedom is not something you achieve or acquire (nor ANY freedom for that matter), financial freedom is something ...
Effectively Lead your Life
May 31, 2021 20:52 - 4 minutes - 4.83 MBYour Personality wants to Express. Your SOUL longs to Experience and Expand. Now I know this is not your typical Leadership and Business topic, yet it should be. For what IS Leadership after all except effectively and powerfully leading your own LIFE? The fact, is that you have Multiple Personality Disorder. And this MPD is both your greatest nemesis as well as your greatest opportunity. You are NOT your personality. The term "personality" from "persona" originates in Latin meaning: "...
True Alchemy
May 11, 2021 14:52 - 5 minutes - 6.12 MBGold in the mind, and gold in the heart, brings gold in the hands. This is the key to Alchemy. Alchemy is a somewhat mystical and often esoteric term. Let me briefly demystify and bring it into the realm of practical application for the leader and entrepreneur. For some of the greatest alchemist of all times were da Vinci, Tesla, Jobs, Branson, Musk and Gates. In fact, Bill Gates purchased Leonardo da Vinci's "Codex Leicester" in 1994 for $31M dollars! It's the most expensive book eve...
Simplicity is power
April 23, 2021 22:29 - 4 minutes - 5.54 MBThe true Leader travels focused and light. Many create their own chaos because they’re attempting to do too many things. Jack of all trades. Master of none. How many horses can you ride masterfully at one time? If you’re a circus act then then maybe two. I doubt if you’re a circus act. If you’re NOT then the answer is one. Even a circus performer can’t ride 3 horses masterfully. Follow the metaphor? Pick your horse...
Your Purpose in Life
April 06, 2021 20:04 - 4 minutes - 5.13 MBThe purpose of your life is NOT to be happy. Are you going to continue to read? Maybe a shocker, right? Hedonism is rampant in today's world (look the word up if you need to). Your purpose in this lifetime is to be useful. To make a difference. To leave an impact when YOU leave. To be honorable. Meaning that you do what you're here to do; and you do what you say you're going to do. Even when it's hard and hurts....
Get What You Want
March 16, 2021 00:14 - 4 minutes - 5.25 MBNo one and nothing owes you anything. Your country doesn't owe you anything... Your family doesn't owe you anything... Your job or your company don't owe you anything... Your mate or your ex don't owe you a damn thing... Maybe even most importantly Life or God don't owe you anything. In fact, you've been GIVEN the greatest gift. Life itself, and your unlimited potential...
Lead from the Center
February 22, 2021 19:11 - 4 minutes - 4.8 MBMastery and Leadership always begins at the center. Many approach their life and businesses as a series of tactics: marketing, sales, to-do lists, and activities designed to get them a certain result. Yet the ONLY result we ever seek is the feeling. We seek merit. To know our own worth. Think about it, you don't buy a car or watch or house because of the material components which constitute its form. You buy ALL of them (and do ANYTHING for that matter) for how you believe it will ma...
Leaders are always at their best
February 18, 2021 19:35 - 4 minutes - 4.63 MBIt’s often easier to act your way into a new way of thinking and feeling than it is to think your way into a new way of feeling and acting. Let’s face it, thinking is often the biggest problem you have. Your head will mess you up every single time. Your neocortex, like everything in life, is both a blessing and a curse. Our ancestors didn’t think, they just acted! I doubt very seriously if our ancient ancestors EVER got caught in the paralysis of analysis. Your “more-intelligent” ass...
Leaf or Stone
February 15, 2021 19:00 - 3 minutes - 4.47 MBAre you a leaf or a stone? Most people are like leaves blown this way and that by their own emotional roller coaster. Most have very little to NO self-control. Most IDENTIFY with their disempowering emotions and allow them to rule their life and experience. Most are like leaves blowing in the winds of their emotions. Going this way and that. Feeling focused and good one moment, and then being triggered INSTANTLY to lose it, feel bad, and spiral into chaos...
Fear or Faith?
January 29, 2021 21:48 - 6 minutes - 7.23 MBHave you ever driven across the desert on a dark night like I have? No street lights. No landmarks. Just about a 25-foot narrow headlit path in front of you. It can be frightening as you think about it now, right? Is there a metaphor here? About your business and relationships and health, well, just about everything in your life? Yes, I think there is! So why is it with so little sight, with so little information, you continue to drive forward across a barren desert?
Purpose, Pleasure?
January 28, 2021 19:47 - 4 minutes - 5.01 MBPurpose and pleasure are NOT the same thing. Contrary to popular thinking, you're not always going to be happy when living your true purpose. Happiness and pleasure are transitory human emotions; and like all emotions, whether pleasurable or painful, they're fleeting. Living your purpose CAN be pleasurable and happy; and it will also be painful and frustrating at times. Many are espousing "Follow your passion", and "Do what you love." Let's please be reminded that passion is the Latin...
The Law of Correspondence
January 08, 2021 22:51 - 4 minutes - 5.22 MBThis is one of the 7 primary laws of this Universe and, like all of them, it's VITAL to understand. There are many complex implications of this law. Far too many to discuss briefly here today. But one quick implication on both your Life, Leadership and Business is that "You get what you give, What you put out comes back." Far too many in today's world are wanting to GET without GIVING. To TAKE without INVESTING. The world and the Universe does NOT work that way. There is NO FREE ride. ...
You're in prison
January 07, 2021 20:20 - 4 minutes - 4.71 MBWe're ALL in prison. Mental incarceration is the worst prison you can inhabit. And the jailer is you... The problem is that you don't even know it. You don't even see it. You can escape the prison. Anyone can. But the first step is to recognize (re-cognize; re-think), the fact that you're actually in one. Recognition (re-cognition; re-thinking) is the first law of learning and transformation. You can't change or transform anything until you first recognize that it must be changed ...
The Mental Universe
December 28, 2020 21:04 - 4 minutes - 5.45 MBYou live in a MENTAL universe. ALL is MIND. Open YOUR mind and check this out. THINK. REALLY think: "All matter and MIND are a tangled hierarchy. The tree observed creates the brain of the observer. Who then is the true observer?" ~ Amit Gaswami (quantum theorist) Whoa hot damn! Just saying....
Don't be a drifter
November 13, 2020 22:50 - 3 minutes - 4.16 MBDon't be a drifter. Most drift from this to that. This strategy to that strategy. This business to that business. This teacher to that one. Chasing the brass ring. Looking for the secret sauce, the magic pill, the fast fame and simple success. I did a coaching session with a QUANTUM PHYSICIST some time back who told me that he envisioned making a "million-dollars the year prior and he didn't make it." "How did I use Law of Attraction incorrectly?" He asked. (He had been studying with ...
What is this situation here to teach you?
November 06, 2020 19:36 - 4 minutes - 4.62 MBThe world around you is YOU giving you the opportunity to see and experience yourself. Sometimes I wonder, "Why am I experiencing this in my life? What is this here in my life to teach me?" Do you ever ask yourself these questions? Why am I experiencing this in life is NOT a poor me or victim slant on experiences. Even though it could be that way. From a more awakened perspective it's a purposeful consideration of what LIFE has brought to you...
Is Knowledge Power?
November 02, 2020 20:54 - 5 minutes - 5.65 MBI know you've heard that it is, but you hear things all the time that are just flat out wrong! Whoever said that didn't think it through; or was totally clueless. How many times do you, like me, know someone who knows a helluva lot, but they don't do a damn thing with it? In fact, most all of us know a lot more than we do. We know that eating fast food and starchy carbs makes us feel lethargic, but we do it anyway...
Are you on the right path?
October 30, 2020 20:44 - 4 minutes - 4.73 MBHow do you know when you're on the right path? When you don't feel prepared to take it. This was a question I asked of one of my great mentors years ago; as well as his answer. Profound. You see God/The Universe/Cosmic Consciousness whatever label you choose has only one objective for you. Just one. it doesn't give two shakes about your new house, car, bank account, vacation or plane. Please...
Your Time is Running Out
October 29, 2020 18:42 - 4 minutes - 4.6 MBLife is never thrilling and "up" every single day... That's childish and unrealistic; and not your objective. Your objective is to find your purpose and become obsessed with mastering and fulfilling it. Come what may. High and low. Pleasure and pain. Victory and defeat. To engage the spirit within of a Warrior Leader; fully committed to a cause much greater than himself...
Are you willing to be different?
October 12, 2020 18:37 - 4 minutes - 4.83 MBYou see, socialized mind encourages you to assimilate and homogenize. But that just keeps you stuck and constantly having to "compete" with all those who are touting the party line. Bob Marley was different from the masses... His reggae beats were pretty much non-existent and vastly different when he arrived on the scene. Now when you say reggae, what's the FIRST name that pops into your mind? I bet it's Marley. Queen was different. Their complicated rock, sometimes crossed with ope...
You need more confidence and certainty
October 09, 2020 18:41 - 3 minutes - 3.69 MBYou DON'T need more information. You need more certainty. You need more confidence. You need more clarity, commitment, and focus. And the ONLY way to get this is to: 1. Understand how this Universe works 2. Take MASSIVE ACTION in alignment with Universal Laws. There's a science to success...
Popular doesn't mean profound
September 16, 2020 23:41 - 4 minutes - 4.92 MBPopular is just what the mass mind is resonating with. Think. Really think. The fact, is that to be the "most popular" and to have the most "friends" or followers, the creative individual must leave out the difficult parts. It must be dumbed down into something to be consumed in 6 seconds or less. Glance through your feed. How many people are there posting "motivational memes" right now? Everybody's an expert now, right? Chances are REA...
What is the cost?
September 07, 2020 18:39 - 3 minutes - 4.39 MBHow much does it cost? I can't tell you how often I hear this question. This question keeps you focused on limitations and lack. The Leader ALWAYS focuses on value versus cost. The better question is: What is the cost of NOT doing it? What will it cost me in time, income potential, potential growth, and impact over my lifetime if I DON'T do this? How much does it cost compared to what? Compared to a tremendous amount of regret?
Who's in your community?
September 04, 2020 20:09 - 3 minutes - 3.7 MBSurround yourself with people who demand you level-up. Get connected. Make it a priority. Who's in your Inner Circle? There is no value in lying to yourself. If you're the smartest person and the most successful person in the room... you're in the wrong room...
Wishing or Working
September 01, 2020 18:20 - 4 minutes - 4.84 MB"There's a big difference between wishing for something and being prepared to receive it." ~ Napoleon Hill This is one of my most favorite quotes from Hill. I've used it with my clients more times than I can count. More importantly, I've experienced it in my own life and business. We all THINK we want a multi-million dollar business. But THE FACT, is that if you don't have it, you're not yet prepared to receive it. Stop wishing and start working! You see,...
Friction creates energy
August 31, 2020 19:57 - 3 minutes - 3.5 MBFriction creates energy. Most people want to reach a place of "smooth sailing.' Good luck with that one. This is diametrically opposed to the principles of science. Energy is amplified through friction. A light bulb creates output by electricity pushing against the resistor inside the bulb. No resistance. No output. In this case the greatest friction and resistance you have are INSIDE YOURSELF!
Mistakes don’t limit Fear limits
August 28, 2020 22:35 - 4 minutes - 5.11 MBYour mistakes don't limit you. Your FEARS limit you. There are two types of fear: instinctive and intellectual. Instinctive fear is what moves you out of the way when a truck is barreling down on you. This type of fear is productive, and you WANT IT to be operable. When your ancestors were on the Serengeti, instinctive fear kept them from getting eaten by a saber tooth tiger. There aren't many saber-tooth tigers in your world today. There are crazy cab drivers in Manhattan to dodge, ...
What are you redeeming your life for
August 27, 2020 20:54 - 4 minutes - 4.79 MBWhat are you redeeming your very life for? Think about this: we're ALL trading our very life for something. The Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the average worker works between 9-10 hours per day. Entrepreneurs obviously work more. That's close to 50% of the entire day. Which means that you're investing close to 50% of your entire life earning your living. Now jump to Gallup which tells us that 72% of the people surveyed are unhappy and unfulfilled in their work. Consider the imp...
Particles and Waves
August 26, 2020 17:36 - 4 minutes - 4.66 MBPhysics tells us: 1, Everything is energy 2. Energy is consciousness 3. Consciousness/Energy only manifests in two ways 4. Particles or Waves 5. Energy must be either/or. It can't be both at the same time...
Tough Times Best Times
August 03, 2020 19:29 - 4 minutes - 5.07 MBThings are not always as the seem... In this selfie culture we tend to "think" that "everyone's life is better than mine." Look at my house, look at my car, look at my watch, look at my vacation. What they don't say is "Look at my bills, look at my overhead, look at the days I wish I could offload a lot of this junk, pay my bills and find peace." What they don't say is "Watch me and my wife fight over finances. My kid is addicted to pot, and my wife is addicted to pain killers...
The Only Real Crisis
July 31, 2020 20:57 - 4 minutes - 5.46 MBYou don't have an economic crisis... You have an existential crisis! Period. You must walk your own path and follow your own purpose. You must know and live your own highest values and virtues. There is NO happiness if the things you believe in are different from the things you do. Now here's the rub...
No Sacrifice
July 30, 2020 20:01 - 3 minutes - 4.42 MBLose weight without dieting... Get everything you want in 3 easy steps... Get totally buff without ever working out... Build a business working 3 days a week for only 4 hours... Become an instant billionaire in 3 months with my brand-new hack... Do I have your attention?
Are Your Thoughts Thunder?
July 21, 2020 21:46 - 6 minutes - 7 MBYour thoughts will bring thunder when your word is Law! Simply put: Do what you say you're going to do! Period! There was a time, when things were done on a handshake. When you said you were going to do something, you just did it. Now we live in a world that lawyers love in which we have to have elaborate, well written and lengthy contracts with every if and or but covered. But that doesn't matter either.
Only Hurt People Hurt Other People
June 29, 2020 18:43 - 4 minutes - 4.58 MBOnly hurt people hurt people. Has anyone ever hurt you? Silly question I know. Has any client made financial promises they don't keep? Have they ever gotten angry WITH YOU when you ask them to pay and keep the commitment THAT THEY made? Have they ever thought about the fact that YOU have expenses (both personally and professionally) that you have committed to, based upon THEIR commitment to you? Probably not. If you're in business I'm sure you KNOW what I mean.
Predict Your Future
June 26, 2020 20:15 - 3 minutes - 4.07 MBYou can predict the future. In fact, you can see the future. All you must do is look at the present as well as your past. Most people RELIVE THE LIFE of THEIR PARENTS with one maybe two improvements at best. Let that not be you. Fractal geometry proves that all of life is repeating patterns. Your life is a FRACTAL A repeating pattern. Same job, different product... Same struggles, different year...
Noise or Value
June 24, 2020 21:16 - 4 minutes - 5.05 MBWe don't need more noise. What we need is more quality, service and value. We're hammered every single day by noise and distraction from every angle. Business is for Warriors and Gladiators. And the war is a war of attention. If you're in business today, the single most important factor you're chasing is the potential attention of the marketplace...
Everything You Want
June 17, 2020 20:38 - 3 minutes - 4.17 MBEVERYTHING you think you want... You ALREADY HAVE! And when you start noticing it and become grateful for it, you'll have more of it. The FACT is that you're missing NOTHING. Most people think they have a shortage of something. But there is no shortage. I coached a man recently who told me he wanted to create more wealth.
Are You on the Right Path?
June 16, 2020 19:26 - 5 minutes - 6.01 MBYou know you're on the right path when you don't feel prepared to take it. This was the answer one of my greatest teachers and mentors gave to my question. Don Jose Luis was a shaman in the Andes Mountains of Peru. I was privileged to study with him for several years. Now wait a minute James! I thought you were all about business and entrepreneurship... what's this shamanistic crap? I am about entrepreneurship AND I consider myself a "Spiritual Entrepreneur."
Game On!
June 08, 2020 21:37 - 3 minutes - 4.49 MBLife is a game. Period. Have you ever played Monopoly or Clue or a similar board game with someone who is SO DAMN SERIOUS about the game? ANY game for that matter. Have you ever played with someone who gets COMPLETELY twisted, frustrated, even pissed if they don't "win" according to the rules of that particular game?
The Dark and the Light
June 01, 2020 16:52 - 4 minutes - 4.96 MBIt’s in our darkest hours that we can potentially find and create the greatest light. It's a fact that we live in a dualistic universe. The Law of Polarity states that everything has an equal and opposite. Every down has an up... Every outside has an inside... And every bad has a corresponding good...
Are you a giver or a taker?
May 30, 2020 19:11 - 5 minutes - 5.74 MBOne of the key indicators of awareness and authentic Redemptive Leadership is that we are givers not takers. Now don't get me wrong. I take REALLY GOOD CARE of myself. I get up at 3AM every single day and make sure I take care of ME so that I have the rest of the day to GIVE to YOU. You can't give what you don't have...
Expect the Best
May 27, 2020 22:17 - 5 minutes - 6.59 MBAlways expect the best... And realize that sometimes what you perceive to be the worst IS OFTEN THE BEST. Look, you don't KNOW what's best for you. Sorry to burst your romantic bubble but let's be completely honest...
Mental Laws
May 13, 2020 21:47 - 5 minutes - 5.65 MBThe Mental Laws of this Universe are as exact and precise as the Laws of Nature. There are 7 primary Laws of this universe and several subsidiary Laws. I've discussed these in many forms and forums for decades now. Mental Laws are not some fantasy or romanticized idea of some "new age" movement (whatever the hell that is), they're principles founded in hard cold science. Quantum Physics to be exact...
Electromagnetism
May 05, 2020 22:18 - 4 minutes - 4.63 MBThere are 4 fundamental forces of the Universe and electromagnetism is one of these 4 fundamentals. YOU are an electromagnetic being. And to the degree, you understand and harmonize these two opposing, and yet unified aspects of your being, you'll WIN. To the degree you don't, you'll LOSE. It's just that simple.
3 basic Levels of Power
April 28, 2020 20:04 - 5 minutes - 6.4 MBSome have little to no power or ability in any of these areas. Some have a lopsided focus on one area. Unless you're operating and functioning in ALL 3, you're incomplete. You're selling yourself short. EVERYTHING I Live, Breath, and Teach falls into one of these 3 areas; and again, true mastery and power reside in the development of all 3...
Self-Aware
April 27, 2020 20:18 - 4 minutes - 4.65 MBThe more you become Self-Aware, the more you FEEL. The more you FEEL, the more you LIVE! And you'll live longer as well. REALLY live. We live in a world that's obsessed with their heads. The vast majority of people are so stuck in their heads that their hearts have atrophied. Is it ANY wonder that HEART DISEASE is the number one killer in the world? One out of every 4 deaths is the result of this killer. And the highest rate is among men. Go figure.
Pretending you’re strong is weak
April 13, 2020 21:51 - 5 minutes - 6.52 MBNot only is it weak, it’s ignorant. Look, we ALL need help. And we’re ALL ignorant of something. It’s always amusing (and also sad), when I post something or teach...
