To Be or Not to Be, That is the Question

Customers at an outdoor market table purchase various bottled juices, including red, yellow, and orange varieties. One person holds a wallet, while another stands nearby. Blurred background shows more people and greenery.

“To be, or not to be, that is the question.” It’s like this that Shakespeare opens Hamlet, his most famous play. I believe that it’s this exact question that either motivates or stops every entrepreneur each day as they sit down to work. Why? Well – while a conscious mind looks at a “to do” … Read more

Never Feel Alone Again: The Hidden Benefit to Becoming an Online Entrepreneur

A group of people silhouetted against a vibrant sunset sky, standing on a hill. Some are holding cameras while others strike playful poses, creating a lively and dramatic scene.

I believe that when you turn up the dial on the true “you”, you attract the people who resonate with how you’re being, people who resonate with your values and beliefs, you’ll become the superhero to your tribe that you’ll never be lonely again.

“I’m Stuck”: How to Redefine the “S Word” & Reclaim Your Power

A wooden ships wheel on a raised deck with a nautical theme. The sky is partly cloudy, and there are trees visible in the background. The scene suggests a maritime setting.

“I’m stuck.” With those two short words, I pulled you into a black hole of drama and despair. I didn’t mean to. That’s just one of the unconscious games people play with each other when they’re either looking for support or looking for validation that they are indeed stuck.

A Conversation With the Right Sensei is Worth More Than 10 Years Training With the Wrong

A wooden teapot with floral engravings sits on a table with woven placemats. In the background, a person in traditional clothing with folded arms is partially visible, holding a teacup. The scene conveys a tranquil, traditional setting.

The other day a student posted this image quote on our Facebook group:  “A conversation with the right sensei is worth more than 10 years training with the wrong.” This really got me thinking about the truly great teachers I’ve had in my life (as well as the not-so-great)…   I thought back to Mr. … Read more

My “Freak Out” Moment & the Secret to Success as an Entrepreneur

Snow-covered mountain peaks rise above a dense layer of clouds, with a prominent rocky summit in the foreground. The clear sky enhances the dramatic, serene landscape.

Last Friday afternoon I had a major “freak out”. With the clock ticking down to Message to Money LIVE (our biggest live event of the year), my team had come into my office to talk through ALL the logistics of the event. And 2 hours and 5 pages of details later, it hit me like a ton of bricks….

The Authentic Voice Pledge: What Losing My Voice Taught Me About Myself

Two hands holding sparklers in a dark, outdoor setting with blurred lights in the background, creating a festive and warm atmosphere.

I’d heard the horror stories, but it finally happened last weekend — midway through a 4-day workshop, I lost my voice. And the timing couldn’t have been worse. 40 people had flown in from all over the country (and the world) to train with me, and I was “powerless” to help them.

The Danger in Perfection & Mastery and the Hidden Value in Keeping it Real & Raw

A person with curly hair and a patterned top poses against a green background. They are touching their chin thoughtfully with one hand, adorned with a large ring.

It was December 31, 2016 and Murray and I stayed out until 4am. We _never_ do that. We’re usually the couple that just barely makes it to midnight. But this time? It was different… And it taught us something important about life, business and mastery.

Mind the Gap: Making the Leap from Where You Are to Where You Want to Go

A subway train speeds through a brightly lit underground station, creating a motion blur effect. In the background, a few people stand on the platform. The scene is vibrant, with red and white colors dominating the stations design.

I spent 2 years living in London in the 2000s while attending grad school at the Royal College of Art… and one of the most iconic parts of London is the Tube, the underground system that crisscrosses the city. From the circular logo with the names of each station inside to the words MIND THE GAP … Read more

You Are Not Your Business: How to Let Go and Enjoy the Ride

A black stencil drawing of a smoking pipe is centered on a rough, textured wall. Below the pipe, the text reads Ceci nest pas une pipe in a cursive font.

You are not your business — vous n’êtes pas vos affaires. I remember being fascinated with the Dada and Surrealist art movements during a trip to Europe in my high school years. The art I saw there opened my mind to new ways of perceiving the world. I still remember the first time I saw Rene … Read more
