Power Over Fear
Will you overcome FEAR to build your castles in the sky?
We all have fears of some kind: fear of losing, fear of success, fear of falling behind, fear of failure… we all have a dark side that must be brought into the light of day.
The Power of TQ is not just a book about excellence, success, and greater results… it is Your Power Over Fear.
When you have more information about something, your fear diminishes.
When you can look at yourself, the good and the bad, your fear of success and failure actually drops…
So, we are proposing a Living Challenge to empower the fearless men and women on the front line to look at their personal lives from a fresh new perspective.
The challenge, of course, is to have a life OFF the job better than the life you have ON the job.
For some, this will be easy as they have already achieved a nice work/life balance. But for others, this may well be their biggest challenge ever!
Quick Hit: Meaning, Money, and Mission
Why not all 3…
I am finishing up my 26th book with co-author Grace Reed. This one exclusively focuses on money, wealth, and creating a legacy that will long outlive you. My thoughts…
MEANING = The knowing that you chose what truly mattered over what was merely entertaining. If you seek more meaning, then focus on what you truly value.
MONEY = What you get for trading your Time, Treasure, and Talents in pursuit of what you value most. Hard work is exchanged for a little money. Smart work gives you far greater results in far less time. If you want more money, work smarter.

30 Day Purpose Challenge
Ten years ago, on September 9th, 2009 we launched Success On Purpose.
Over the last 10 years we have seen thousands of lives changed by the simple process we developed to first help people FIND their authentic purpose in life… and more importantly… go on to actually LIVE it.
Without question, there are two great tragedies in life.
The first is to never know your true purpose…
The second is to know your purpose but never live it fully.
Chaos Driven Success: How to Escape The Valley of Despair
Chaos Driven Success. The economy is once again going into a period of absolute chaos. This is GREAT news for the prepared but TERRIBLE news for people clutching to failed strategies, practices, and out-dated thinking…
Phil Knight is right.
Chaos is inevitable but it can be managed with the right leadership skills.
With the right skills, you grow powerful and successful.
Wealth, freedom, opportunity, and respect are your rewards.
Permit chaos to rule, you will die broke, humiliated, and stupid.
Regrets will take the place of results and you either give up, give in, or work yourself to death trying everything…
Business Success: The Empowerment Habit
According to Chronos, “Empowerment entails creating an environment that fosters growth. For small businesses, empowerment can take many forms, each with the potential to enhance your organization’s efficiency and profitability, as well as your ability to work with others toward common goals. Sharing power might be hard at first, but focus on the long-term benefits of improving the function of all the various aspects of your business.”
The Passion Habit: First Ask WHY?
Passion is one of those words that people use often without really understanding the original meaning of the word.
When most people refer to “passion”, they use it to mean strong emotions reflecting an intense desire or boundless enthusiasm.
That’s a good start.
But passion actually means something entirely different:
A Willingness to Suffer for What You Love.
The Wellness Habit
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices towards a healthy and fulfilling life.
It is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.
A good or satisfactory condition of existence; a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity; welfare.
“Wellness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” – The World Health Organization.
According to several studies, the most common health problem in the world is depression. This problem is often manifested in the form of insomnia, stress, poor nutrition, physical inactivity, obesity, and heart disease, etc.
Irrespective of a person’s age, size, shape or perceived attractiveness, it is wellness that is the cornerstone of quality of life. It determines how we ultimately look, feel, interact with others and thrive in life and work.
The Authenticity Habit
The Truth Will Set You Free…
You’ve heard this your whole life.
But it is hard to know what is true, factual, and absolutely authentic.
Fake news, fake photos, fake people…
They live to deceive.
Which, they believe gives them power.
In fact, the opposite is true.
The Honor Habit
It’s Independence Day here in America!
We fought with honor for the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We fight for freedom.
We fight for success.
We fight for the right to be challenged.
We fight for the right to find our own path in life, unencumbered by the shackles of bondage and despair.
Samuel Smiles said it best…
The Goals Habit
I love to start with a common definition, but we all know what a goal is and can mouth the meaning easily…
A GOAL is a DREAM with a DEADLINE.
You have some dream — more money, a second home, real career power — whatever, so the only question is, WHEN do you expect it to show up?
A great goal presupposes you know the big WHY…
And believe you have the skills to make it happen… the big HOW.
With the what, when, how, and why set the outcome is simple to see…
You either can take the actions necessary to achieve it, or not.
The Leadership Habit
What is leadership? A simple definition is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards achieving a common goal.
In a business setting, this can mean directing workers and colleagues with a strategy to meet the company’s needs.
This leadership definition captures the essentials of being able to inspire others and being prepared to do so. Effective leadership is based upon ideas (whether original or borrowed), but won’t happen unless those ideas can be communicated to others in a way that engages them enough to act as the leader wants them to act.
Conviction-Driven Leadership: Knowledge Refines ~ Action Defines…
In times when people are confused, frightened, and need direction your leadership matters. Not lip-service to the word, but the true essence of what it means to lead in times of uncertainty, fear, and forced change.
Charles Darwin said it best, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Put another way, in this rapidly changing global economy, you either adapt or die.
We are in a time of unprecedented upheaval, a sudden and abrupt change to our way of life due to the hysteria surrounding the COVID19 virus. We must now quickly adapt or find our businesses decimated.
