When I tell people that I record a daily podcast, they usually react with shock and awe—especially other podcasters. They think I’m out of my mind, crazy for doing this. They get how hard it is to come up with content and then be disciplined enough to record, edit, mix etc. every single day.

I won’t lie. It’s hard as hell. Some days I have a hard time coming up with ideas to talk about. Some days I have plenty of ideas but I just can’t get the content going. And some days, I just simply don’t feel like doing shit.

No matter what my mood is, what my plans are that day, or how tired I am, I record my podcast. Honestly, I credit my 66 Days of Bold Action Challenge with helping me commit the way I have.

I committed to doing this podcast daily, so I push those feelings aside and I do my podcast anyway. One of the things that drives me to do it every single day, no matter what, is that I know most people don’t have the discipline to do something...

I’m a fighter. I don’t mind going after what I want in life because I’m just one of those people who don’t do well in unhappiness. When I’m unhappy with something, it nags at me and nags at me until I just have to do something about it.

And I think one of my best qualities is that I’m resilient af. When my mind is made up about something, it’s almost impossible to get me to stop pursuing whatever that thing is.

But. As much as I’m a fighter, I’m also a worrier. It may be the Capricorn in me who always has to have a plan for every single thing, and then a backup plan for the plan, and a backup plan for the backup plan, but when I’m focused on something, I’ll think through every possible scenario that could possibly occur. 

The problem with that is that sometimes that can backfire on me. Sometimes thinking through every possible scenario lands me in a doubtful, negative, pessimistic place that I then have to dig...

You are no stranger to hard work. You’ve been busting your ass, making it happen every day for your business, for your family, and for your own personal growth. 

One of your biggest goals in life is to succeed. But have you ever taken the time to stop and think about what success means to you?

Do you consider yourself successful now? You’ve probably already overcome ridiculous odds and accomplished things you never imagined you would be able to accomplish.

For ambitious people, like you and me, we can sometimes feel like we’re chasing a moving target. That’s why it’s really important to sit down and come up with a definition of what success means to you.

This definition should be the core of what you value most, and your “I need to accomplish this in life and everything else is just a bonus”. So what is that for you?

Is it Family?

Maybe your success is defined by how you treat your family and what you’re able to provide for them....

When some people think of working from home, they think of fun! They imagine days full of online shopping, meeting friends for lunch, napping all day, and playing with their new puppy. 

Then there are those who think that working from home is a jail cell. They think of dark days, locked in a room with a ball and chain following them everywhere they go, with the inability to ever escape the warden.

I’ve worked 100% from home for over a decade, and I can tell you that it’s somewhere in between. There’s great freedom in being able to work from home—it gives you a ton of flexibility—but it can also be hard to escape work. If you like what you do, or if you don’t have set hours, you can find yourself working much longer days than you would in an office setting.

For those of you who may be starting a business where you’ll be working from home, I want to give you the skinny so you know what to expect. Here are some of the good things and some...

I don’t get to watch a lot of TV, but I do have a few shows that I make time to keep up with. One of those shows is Power on STARZ. Since we’re nearing the premier of season 6, on August 25th, I’m starting to get excited to see what stupidity Tariq can get himself into next. 

In the spirit of preparing for the new season, I thought we could have some fun. I want to know which Power character are you in entrepreneurship?

So I’m going to give you a description of my view of each characters positive traits as they apply to entrepreneurship, and you decide who most closely matches you as an entrepreneur. Get it? Got it? Good!

Here we go.
