Why Do We Work?
We have forgotten why we work. We work to serve people. We work to serve ourselves. We have gotten so caught up in the job we are doing that we forget why we are doing. When you are at work you are not making or selling widgets you are making or selling widgets for the…
Change Your Thinking for Success
There are 2 guiding principles of success that are not taught enough. The first is: Always assume there is an answer to every problem but you may not know what it is. The second is: everything is your fault. Both of these principles are to help you take control of your life. The first principle…
Built for Work
We were put on this earth to make things better than when we got here, and that entails work. No matter your spiritual view everything points to us being better off when we are contributing. Our society works better when we are working with each other and making it a better place to live. When…
Take your freedoms back
This chapter discusses taking your freedoms back considering debt, job losses, and credit scores through working hard.
No One Cares
No one cares as much about your priorities as much as you do. This is why you are the best person to take care of you. Your company and/or the government does not care about feeding your family or your retirement. They may act like it but they do not care like you do. That…
Why you should start a business
This chapter was a bit harder to write, luckily there is an editing process. It is important to decide on at least big hairy audacious goal (BHAG). This goal is one that seems almost crazy and impossible to achieve but there is an inkling of hope to be able to achieve this goal. The problem…
Right Brain Left Brain
We all have a power within us that can help us to reach the greatest heights possible. This power comes from the right side of the brain. Our society likes to play down the right brain skills. We are told that we need to go to school and become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, etc. We…
You Make Time for What is Important
One of the main problems I see that many people have is that they have all of their priorities mixed up. The get so bogged down in the day to day crises that come at them they have not taken the time to figure out why they are doing what they are doing. They do…
Keep Learning or Fall Behind
Today we live in the information age. The great thing is that information is infinite and keeps growing. You probably have heard the phrase “information is power”; it is more so now then it ever has been. With all of the information so readily available it is so easy to learn more and make progress…
Free your mind and reduce your stress
Many of us have become used to the constant onslaught on responsibilities, information, and advertisements that we are living with a constant level of stress. We have obligations to our creditors, husbands, wifes, children, and bosses. With all of these obligations our minds are constantly occupied. Maybe not enough to overwhelm you but enough to…
You need to figure out who you are
In our culture we tend to look outwardly to find the answers and our fulfillment but this is the wrong path. You need to start looking at yourself first. You need to figure out who you are and this is the going to be the most difficult part of this process. Have you ever had…
You are supposed to love your work
In my working career I have found people that are going to work every day unhappy with their job. You can identify these people by asking the question “how are you” and they will answer something like “I am here”, “living the dream”, “just getting by”, or something similar. These people have told themselves that…
Why you should be an Entrepreneur
If you have ever spent more than an hour with me you may have noticed that I am in some way or another telling you to start a business. I have seen how it has benefited me and I want to share the enjoyment with everyone. I see it as the solution to the many…
Socialism
I do not agree with the socialist philosophy but I want to learn more about it because I want to better empathize with people that think differently from me. In my quest for this empathy I have been in search of someone that had the maturity and insight to explain their point of view on…
I need help with Socalism
Here are my thoughts on capitalism: First, to be honest I have not studied capitalism so I do not know the strict definition but I believe my thoughts align with the philosophy, please correct me if I am wrong. First I believe that capitalism most closely mirrors nature (survival of the fittest) and the concept…
What is Money?
Money is a very complicated subject. It represents many things to us. Many people have a much distorted view of money that allows it to complicate our lives, end relationships, and keeps them from having much of it. One thing money represents to us is time. If you make money for spending a certain time…
What Drives You
From my experience only about 10 percent of people are willing to do the work to change a discomfort in their lives. I have encountered so many people that complain about a certain situation in their lives and when I press them to consider changing something most of them immediately make some excuse why it…
Choices
You can choose how life affects you and you can choose to be happy. It is not what happens to us that makes us unhappy it is how we accept what happens that makes unhappy. In other words: when you are unhappy it is because you have chosen to be unhappy. For instance: if you…
Mastermind Alliance
You are the average of the people you hang around with. I believe this to be true so if you want to expand your horizons you need to be around people that are where you want to be. If you want to make more money then you need to spend time with people that are…
