SELF COMMUNICATION
Hi Everyone,
Today's blog covers one of my favorite topics...the power of questions and life change.
I'm not talking about the questions people ask you - I'm talking about the questions you ask yourself on a daily basis.
The questions you ask yourself will reveal alot about what you get in your life. After all...no matter what question you ask yourself - you're mind will come up with an answer.
Most people ask themselves negative unproductive questions, such as "Why d
A WORD ON PARANOIA
Hi Everyone,
This may prove to be the single most important article you ever read for the rest of your life...so listen up and listen good!
I just finished re-reading one of my favorite books called...What Would Machiavelli Do? "The Ends Justify The Meanness."
In this little gem of a book...there's an absolutely phenomenal chapter called “He would be, for the most part, a paranoid freak.”
It starts out with a quote from Intel’s Chairman, Andy Grove, stating --- “I att
IN PATTON'S OWN WORDS
Hi Everyone,
I was re-reading one of my FAVORITE books the other day called "Patton on Leadership." This book talks about Patton's military strategies and how they translate to success in your life.
One of my favorite passages is called "Keep Moving."
Patton's quote says "When you dig a fox hole, you dig your grave!"
I like this quote because it reminds me to keep progressing and stop waiting for the perfect time to do or accomplish something. Digging a fox hole is li

MY FAVORITE NEGOTIATING TECHNIQUE OR IS IT?
Hi Everyone,
Did you know that by eliciting one of my favorite negotiation strategies you can save BIG money no matter what you purchase?
It's true!
The strategy is called "Never Take the First Offer or Counteroffer" – This is simply refusing to accept the “other side’s” first offer or counteroffer.
Before I go too far here, you have to understand that most companies build huge profit margins into their products and services. This is how they make money! Therefore, th
ELIMINATING TIME VAMPIRES
Hi Everyone,
Call me delusional, call me crazy - each day, without fail, I'm haunted with the same phrase going through my mind like an out of control ghost train - "manage your time or someone else will." Where am I going with this? Good question!
I was thumbing through a terrific book called "No B.S. Business Success" by marketing legend/guru Dan Kennedy.
In this book, Dan talks about the importance of managing your time well and keeping away so-called time-wasters o
HOW TO GET GOOD PUBLICITY
Hi Everyone,
Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of producing and executing dozens of publicity plans.
I've written plans for...
- Driving new store customers
- Making businesses attractive to recent or future college graduates
- Building business-to-business partnerships
Throughout...I've been a die-hard student of a publicity guru - the only man to literally become a multi-millionaire by selling the Brooklyn Bridge, Dr. Paul Hartunian. In fact, I worked wit
THE REAL "TIPPING POINT"
Hi Everyone,
I'm not a big fan of going with the flow or listening to what other people tell me are the "norms" in life. In fact...I HATE norms.
The one thing I do agree with is providing a good tip to someone for a job well done. Unfortunately, a bunch of cheapskate, low-life employers refuse to pay their employees livable wages, so they expect the public to pick up the slack by paying tips.
Here are my personal recommendations for tipping...
- Porters/Bellhops: $1.
YOUR POWER TO CHOOSE
Hi Everyone,
I was recently reading a phenomenal book called "The Best of Success" by Wynn Davis.
I've owned this book of success quotes for over 27 years and grab it off the shelf every couple months.
Today...I came to a passage called "Choice."
It said, "Your greatest power is the power to choose. You can decide where you are, what you do and what you think. No one can take the power to choose away from you. It's yours alone. You can do what you want to do. You c
