“The Slight Edge” – Why do some make it and others struggle or fail.

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

The Slight Edge is a book written by Jeff Olson and it’s quite the masterpiece.  In the beginning of the book it talks about several stories of struggle and victory.

Somewhere out in the Mid-West in a barn sits two frogs.  Both have their eye on a bucket of milk which was just taken from a cow in the stall.  While the farmer left to do some other chores, both Frogs leaped in and started drinking the milk.  When done, they were embellished as well as tired.

The Frogs didn’t think about how they were going to get out of the bucket, especially since they drank down half of it and now had even further to leap out.  Both Frogs tried and tried, kicking  and clawing at the sides to get out.  Tired from exhaustion, one of the frogs gives up and sinks to the bottom of the bucket.  The other frog, determined to get out, kicks and kicks, stroke after stroke and finally gives up.

As that last frog relaxes his legs and prepares to sink to the bottom like his culprit, he notices something.  He is lying on solid butter. Using the last bit of strength he uses the leverage of the firm butter to leap out, leaving his compani0n behind for the farmer to later discover.

Why is it that some people make it in this world and others struggle.  What is it?  Is it talent, education, determination?

Get Off The Couch!

Friday, September 10th, 2010

Your either going to make excuses or make things happen, you can’t do both.  After talking to hundreds, maybe thousands of people at this point about getting started in business, the #1 excuse is, I don’t have the money.

Let me tell you what I think about that statement.  It’s B.S.

Everyone has money.  It’s what they do with their money that causes them to think they don’t have any.  There comes a point in one’s life where you have to take what I like to call:

Row Call

Living A Life Of Significance Vs. Living A Life Of….

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Prior to me being a family man, I have to be quite honest with you, I lived for myself. I worked just so I could party, have the things in life I wanted and have a good time.  It was all about the good time.  From the time I was about 14 years old, I have had the freedom to pretty much do anything I wanted in life.

I had loving parents.  Grew up right on the ocean in Maui Hawaii.  There were little things to fear about being a young man and being given a lot of freedom to roam the island as I pleased.

At about 15 I got my drivers license, first car, first girlfriend and my first job.  I had the life that most young men dream about.  No responsibility other than making sure I made it to school, showed up for work and woke up the next day to do it all over again.

6 Ways To Improve Your Finances And Beat The Recession.

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

The average American carries with them over $9,000 in credit card debt. That does not include the debt of their mortgage and car(s).

Here are some ways in which you can take back control of your finances and start living a more financially stable life.

Stop Spending

Take an inventory of your spending habits.  If you are living from paycheck to paycheck, something is wrong and you are most likely living WAY above your means.  Stop the bleeding by thinking about whether what your buying is a need or a want.  Get rid of the wants and only buy what you need.

What Is It That You Really Want Out Of Life?

The Good Ole Days                                                                                 Please RETWEET This———>

Remember back when you were in grade school and summertime came?  Remember how free you felt that you had 2 or 3 months to do pretty much anything you wanted with your time? Felt pretty good right?

Fast forward to today and look how much that has changed?  Responsibilities kicked in, maybe a few kids, marriage and a career.  Times have changed, haven’t they?
