One of my personal definitions of money is - the measurement of value created. When I think of money this way it inspires me to create my own worth instead of looking for someone to give me anything. Using this perspective I'm more inspired to get into action and make things happen. It gives me energy knowing that I'm creating as a contributor to the "machine". On the other hand when I'm looking for people to give me anything it drains my energy, it doesn't empower me. When it come come to creating value my guest today  is a master. I read his book  a couple of...

Context: There are a lot of changes taking place in the economy right now and it's happening very quickly. The job market is shrinking and the newer jobs that are becoming available are paying less. As an entrepreneur this is great news because change creates problems and entrepreneurship is all about solving problems. As you know one of the fields that I'm really enthusiastic about is business consulting. I like it for a number of reasons but here's  just a few... The overhead needed to start a consulting practice is minimal You don't need any advanced degrees or certifications The more...

I attended a marketing event called Monetization Mastery almost a year and a half ago down in Miami... I always tell people if you want to change your belief system around money and what's really possible then go to an internet marketing event. When you're surrounded by people who are on the internet making thousands of dollars (and some even tens of thousands) per day it has a way of shifting the way you think about business. I've also discovered one of the truths about building a businesses online... if you want to make some money then you do it alone. But if you want to build wealth then...

One of the things that I love about entrepreneurship is it's the closest thing that you can get to being a professional athlete. You'll get direct feedback on whether you can really play or if you stink... but no matter what the market says about you, there's always room to improve and get better. Here's the cold truth... The job market is shrinking, with technology replacing human labor and capital funding becoming more and more scarce since the 2008 meltdown business owners and CEO's are more focused on costs and the bottom line more than ever. The highest cost savings can usually be found...

One of the things that I've always made an effort to be is someone that can lose everything and then turn around and get it all back. I say that because I believe that a truly wealthy man isn't wealthy because of his money or the value of his possessions. He's wealthy because of who he is. My guest today  is one of those people. At his lowest point Tony found himself homeless with nothing to his name. It was also during this time that Tony began what he calls "His Great Experiment". With nothing left to lose he also lost his sense of fear. With time he slowly began to see the great...

I recently became interested in the study of Etymology, which in case you're not familiar is the study of the origins of words. When you truly understand the essence of a word, where it comes from and its true meaning you’re able to better apply the concept of the word to your studies and your life. Conversely one idea and concept that is probably more misunderstood than any other is the concept of money. Interestingly enough most of us dedicate most of our lives to making money for ourselves and our families but we never truly understand what it is or how its really created. As a result we...

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of my all time favorite actors. A while back he played a character named "Cobb" in the movie . If you've never seen it check it out, it was a pretty heavy movie. It's one of those movies that makes you think about what you're thinking about. In the movie Cobb was stealing corporate secrets and planting ideas by entering a "target's" dream. Being able to steal secrets was good but the real power was being able to plant an idea that would cause his "target" to take a set of desired actions. Pretty cool, right? Well believe or not my guest today, Rob Scott has a process...

I believe the true essence of entrepreneurship is having the ability to recognize an opportunity. An opportunity to take a product or situation of lower value. Enhance it. And then turn around and offer it back to the world at a higher value. This process of alchemy can be applied to anything; real estate, cars, clothing, services and what you'll learn in conversation today is that it can even be done with your story. My guest today is Anthony Trucks, Anthony became an entrepreneur against his will at the age of 3 years old, when he was placed into foster care by his mother. The statistics say...

"In life you're either creating miracles or you're suffering" 

 

Quick question...what would you do in this scenario?

You have a comfortable job on Wall Street with a nice salary.

You're not miserable but you're not really happy either...

You know you should be doing more with your life

but your job doesn't really require you to get out of your comfort zone

much, it's safe, plus you have a family at home that depends

on you.

Fast forward...

One day your boss gives you notice that you've just

been downsized, your safe, comfortable job is gone.

However, at the same time he offers you an opportunity for 

another role in the company for even MORE money?

Would you take the job and the money or leave?

Well my guest today Darrin Bentley decided that it

was time to leave and pursue his passion.

Without yet having a well developed plan Darrin set sail

into the unknown land of entrepreneurship.

Several months later he's a marketing consultant and host

of one of the hottest podcast shows on internet, The Big Wig Nation.

 

This scenario of corporate downsizing is becoming more

and more prevalent as outsourcing continues

to redesign the fabric of corporate America.

It's almost to the point that it's not a matter of if you'll 

be downsized but when.

Are you preparing yourself by asking the tough questions

and doing the internal work to decide what endeavor you what to 

dedicate your life's energy to?

Sometimes it's not until we're forced to ask ourselves the uncomfortable

questions that we really to start to create our life's meaning.

During my interview with Darrin Bentley we talked about;

  • Why he made the tough decision to leave his comfort zone
  • The best advice he has for someone who is unhappy with their job
  • Why entrepreneurs should avoid focusing on just making money
  • The one daily exercise that's guaranteed to grow your inner entrepreneur
