“Comfort the Afflicted and Afflict the Comfortable”
If you’re an American, you have probably just gone through the most extraordinary week of your lifetime. And what makes it the most extraordinary week you’ve ever lived, is the fact that you probably didn’t even realize this week was different than any other.
Why You Should Forgive Yourself…
We’ve been discussing transformation. Making the decision to release or even kill off the old you, to create a new and improved model. I cautioned you that there was one more tripwire that could prevent you from doing this transformation successfully. And the tripwire to transformation is…
Transforming Your Life…
Last post I shared my story of having life collapse around me, and deciding to kill off the old me, to create a new and better version.

Igniting Fire from Burnout
It was our regular Monday morning staff meeting and my team was assembled around the conference table. I opened by saying we were cancelling the seminar I was currently touring the world with. Sherry, my vice president was taken aback. She blurted out “That seminar brings in 80 percent of our revenue right now.” “I know, and I don’t care,” I replied. “If I have to do another seminar about how you get a prospect’s phone number, I would rather stick a fork in my eye.”
The Epic Saga Continues…
Last post I detailed the three murders I’ve committed in my life so far. Fortunately, all three of those acts were killing old versions of myself – versions that no longer served me. I promised in this post to go deeper into a related subject: burnout and what causes it.
