$25,000 mindset

May 10, 2010

I just spent 25 grand on my education. It was tangibly for a mastermind group and coaching… but really for my mindset. Add that to another 25k that I’ll probably spend on seminars, products and cutting edge technology (to share with you) and that makes one large investment on furthering my education and developing my [...]

My friend just “threw in the towel”

April 23, 2010

Ok, harsh as it may sound, I’m kinda used to people closing their doors.
