Get Negative to Get Ahead You read it right: get negative! I am so tired of listening to the motivational idiots and the self-help bozos and all of metaphysical new-agers talk about the power of a positive attitude that I could puke! Just put on those rose-colored glasses, dust off the smiley-face button, plaster that…
Change bothers some folks. The very idea of changing their routines or habits makes their poor little hearts beat harder. Usually, it is because they are so comfortable in the rut they have dug, that even if they are headed down the wrong path, they will stay on it because it doesn’t involve any change.…
Nothing works. That’s right. Nothing. Let me explain. The economy doesn’t work. It never really did very well but it was growing so fast and there was so much money that we didn’t notice. We were ahead of the problem. Then our greed caught up with us and we hit a wall and we weren’t…
Can all this bad really be good? Things are tough. It seems that “how bad things are” is the theme of nearly every newscast and talk show. I even spend much of my time on television talking about our economic woes. The economy has gone to hell and the stock market sucks and foreclosures, layoffs…

It’s true. I really am a simple guy. I believe that everything it takes to become more successful either personally or professionally is simple. Idiot simple, in fact. Want to lose weight? Eat less – exercise more. Simple. Want more money? Earn more – spend less. Simple. Want to be more successful? Stop doing the…
Big claim? Yeah, I know it is, but I make that claim with complete confidence. I can fix America. Of course, it would take the cooperation of every American, but it could still be done. It only takes us doing three things. 1. Every American must get their house in order financially. What that means: …
Are people really idiots? Obviously I believe so based on the title of my new book, People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It. What else could I believe based on the evidence provided?
