Have you ever wondered why, oftentimes, we know what we need to do to get better results in life—personal or business—but can’t get ourselves to do it? We always hear, “You must know your why.” Seriously, have you ever met someone who didn’t have a why? We all do. So how is it that a…
Of the many mental self-motivation tools, techniques and strategies there are for building and enhancing our inner motivation levels to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals and dreams, learning to recall, re-live and celebrate personal victories should not be ignored. In fact, it is the key to replicating the successes of our past for the…
I love my work, especially interviewing network marketing leaders for our Master Networker profiles. Each time it’s a story about love: love of a product, love of a business model, love of an organization, love of dreams, love of people, love of freedom. Without love, there is no success, even in business. Growing up, I…
If the majority of network marketing/direct selling professionals are women, why are the top levels of leadership in most companies still dominated by men? While the answer to this question is complex, I believe women have one habit that slows us down and keeps us from succeeding at higher levels in our business. Men and…
What are you responsible for? Some of us define our responsibilities narrowly (our health, family, finances…), while others see a much bigger picture. How different would the world be if Mother Teresa had felt that the leper in the street was not her responsibility, or if Martin Luther King had decided to stay a local…
As business professors, we have the opportunity of working with talented professionals in different organizations. In our conversations, it is not uncommon for people to share personal and professional struggles in maintaining life balance.

The world is waking up. We’re living a new story. Millions of us have been involved with our own personal development and deeper spiritual investigations for decades, with millions more joining all the time. We’re collectively shifting our consciousness and creating a new, more awakened world. We’re gaining clarity about the true nature of Reality….
The first personal development book I ever read was M. Scott Peck’s The Road Less Traveled, published in 1978. Remember the opening line? Life is difficult. Similarly, the first of the Four Noble Truths Buddha taught in the fifth century BC was “Life is suffering.” Today, this truth is not particularly popular. We believe life should be easy…
Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients—without ever seeing any of them. He would study an inmate’s chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person’s illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved. When I first heard this…
Sometimes, there’s nothing worse than having it all figured out. You’re doing it day in and day out, and have been doing it for so long now that it’s second nature. You don’t even have to think about the mechanics of it. You know the phrases. “I can do this in my sleep,” “with one…
