The Five Biggest Obstacles to Taking Action

Action, or better yet, “taking action,” is critical for a successful life. We know that sometimes we just need to get off our butts. Dr. Phil says on his TV show that “life rewards action.” That's actually one of his life rules. Tony Robbins frequently says that we should “take massive action.” One of my favorite quotes comes from Will Rogers, who used to say, “Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.” The Big Challenge—and a Small But But

Twenty years later, in 1973, these researchers went back and visited the class of '53 and found that the 3% of the graduates with these written goals had amassed a net worth that was greater than the other 97% combined. This is powerful indication that goal setting is critical for success. We see goal setting as a process. We ar

The Untold Truth About Mentors, and Why You DON'T Need "ONE"

I think there is a misconception about what a mentor truly is. A mentor is someone who guides you, someone wise, someone you trust. A mentor can be your confidant, advisor, coach, or even your role model. Many people swear by their mentors and frequently credit them with much of their success. Yet you do not have to choose just one! The mentor-protégé bond is certainly a special one, but this does not mean you are limited to the knowledge of only a single source. In the earl
