EveryDay1: A Hypothesis on How to Change the World
Share Yes, I did an annual review, I created goals for the new year, I have words (principles) to live by this year. But my theory is that great change, the big goals, the transformation of a life, does not happen in projects or goals or the grand objectives. Great change happens in the EveryDay. [...]
Beginnings Require Ends.
Share It is that time of year. Whether it’s in the blog post I just read about a last week of December journal-a-thon, or my client yesterday afternoon who shared how she is working on her 2012 goals, it’s time to create the next plan, the next set of goals, to begin everything that will [...]
Setting Ridiculous Goals That Might Already Be Done
Share As many of you know, I think goals suck. Goals don’t suck for everyone, but they do for me. Because when I set goals (earn $x or have x# of clients or get x# of visitors to my website by x month) I just sit around feeling lame and frustrated that I did not [...]
Why I'm Letting Go of Things That Make Money
Share In the last 30 days, I decided to not relaunch The Money Tree System, to put my book Grow Up! Strategies on clearance, and to shut down TheWealthSpa.com.

Why I'm Not Setting Goals or Picking Words for 2010
Share (This post is the lame post that I didn’t publish a few days ago. But, now I’m thinking maybe it really wasn’t lame. Either way, following the assignments of my amazing commenters, here you go. If you like it, good. If not, I warned you.) Here’s the process taught by Pax Programs to find [...]
I Don't Give a Crap About Making $1 Million
Share I used to think there was something wrong w/ me because I’m not motivated by money, that perhaps I had a limiting belief that needed fixed … but instead here’s what I’ve found about motivation, what I want out of life, and what I want to create with you.

Divorce is Weird.
Share In my last video, Goals Suck, I shared my process of “being” each day — two of those states of being for me are “Being Real” and “Being Uncomfortable.” So in the interest of Being Real and Being Uncomfortable, here’s the truth of what’s going on w/ me right now.
