I am no doctor and I don’t play one on T.V. I do have a very sloppy signature that has gotten people to ask if I was a doctor, though. So what I’ll bring today, as we wrap up this topic of Entrepreneurial Health, is based on the help I r…
I hope you enjoyed yesterday's interview with Shawn Stevenson. Stevenson was instrumental in getting my health back after a severe bout of adrenal fatigue. My wife Elizabeth and I found his podcast, The Model Health Show, as I was pushing the bounda…
People often ask me what it is that I do. I’ve never been an ‘elevator pitch’ type of person. Once, I blurted out a quick line. I help lonely entrepreneurs. It was meant to be a joke but the person nodded, leaned in and sounded ext…
It felt like a screwdriver was twisting through my temples. Not just one temple. This invisible screwdriver went though both ends of my skull and seemed to have the ability to dig in above my eyes as well, into the area beneath my eyebrows. My in-la…
When we talk about health for entrepreneurs, there are quite literally hundreds of directions in which we can go. Finding information that is important about the health of entrepreneurs to share is not the problem. Choosing which direction to take i…
The lure of entrepreneurship is something that, for many of us, is unavoidable. Those who know that this life is their destiny crave freedom more than security, the want options more than comfort and they desire control over direction. So much has b…
There is a great scene from the movie Tommy Boy that displays the power of storytelling in a silly but meaningful way. Tommy, played by Chris Farley, is in a restaurant with his friend and business partner Richard, who was played by D…
You would think that being someone that photographed the brutal, blood spitting, hard hitting. Board crunching game of hockey would have little connection to the pristine world of the pristine world of weddings. weddings where little girls have drea…
Storytelling is an art as much as it’s a science. It’s a medium that is fascinating because it can never truly be mastered. Maybe for a moment. Maybe it can be for a magical hour. But being a great storyteller is very much like tuning a …
I’ve been called a writer. I’ve been called a podcaster. Depending on the year or the season of my life, I’ve been called a public speaker, a photographer, a presenter, a mastermind leader and a course creator. I think my advantage…
So hopefully you see the value in collecting your stories. Hopefully you are beginning to see that your life might be much more interesting than you have previously thought. I have to admit that I’ve had a head start on what we …
Your life is much more interesting than you might think it is. It’s easy- and lazy- to believe that our own lives are boring and monotonous while those “other people” are the ones who live exciting lives. Remember, t…
I'm constantly rereading and restudying on this concept of the 80/20 rule. There are so many facts that come out of this that blow my mind and I don't understand why it's not discussed in school and I can't figure out why we don't talk about i…
I want to share with you how Elizabeth and I use the 80/20 rule to create time freedom in our lives. Time freedom is my ultimate freedom. For some, it's financial freedom. But for us, financial freedom comes after time freedom. When you can control …
Are you really doing what matters? It's a hard question to answer. We continue our theme about the 80/20 rule. Yesterday, we talked about the 80/20 power curve, which was about how we're not creating enough options for potential cl…
Are you getting ideas yet about how you can use the 80/20 rule in your own life? A few years ago, I read the book the 80/20 Principle, The Secret To Achieving More With Less by Richard Cook. And it was right around the time that I read the FourHourW…
e at all, you know that I’m not about shortcuts. Too often, we are taught to cut corners. Look for the quick fix. Find the hack. Often, that leads to short term success. Too often, it leads to eventual frustration. I have gone t…
What I want to bring to you, each week in this blog, is a topic that will help you gain the freedom that you want in your life. So many people crave financial freedom. But what is overlooked is the concept of time freedom. When you can learn …
I've never been good at accepting compliments. Now don't get me wrong. I want the compliments- sometimes way too often. I have craved the compliments but I was never good at accepting them. WIth that, I was called…
The price of perfectionism. According to author Valerie Young, perfectionists who hit 99% of their goals still feel like a failure. These are the people who are the ones who need to know every piece of information before t…
There are some things that we collectively struggle with. At the top of that list is dealing with imposter syndrome. But before we go deep into this, I wanted to address where the concept of imposter syndrome came from and why do so many people stru…
As the warmer than normal Florida sun dropped below the horizon to the west, John had no indication that the day was coming to an end. Hard at work trimming palm trees and laying sod for his boss, the thought that this was a particularly harder day …
And Then Covid Happened... That is a book title if you'd like to run with it. And I'm not talking about anything to do with health. But I am talking about how so many businesses and careers were tossed around and flipped on their side like a swath …
Andrew is walking towards me. He has a tarantula in one hand and a plastic red Solo cup filled with money in the other. In that moment, it was obvious that he was on to something. Andrew is our oldest son- a sixteen-year-old who who was fifte…
