  • Ants & Skyscrapers: How Your Perceptions Determine Your Outcome

    He was laying in that hospital bed for several days. Stubborn, cantankerous. He’d had difficulty breathing when they admitted him, but this eighty year-old man was a fighter, and while he hadn’t been eating well for the past few weeks, his strength was contagious. His children, gathered in the room, listened to him tell off…

  • The Pretender, The Coward, or Your True Self: Which “You” Are You?

    Last year, I was introduced to a concept that I’ve continued to grapple with from time to time. The picture below is taken from page 61 of Dr. Maria Nemeth’s book “The Energy of Money“. It’s an illustration that one of her teachers once shared with her: When my coach first introduced it to me,…

  • BYOG Day 25 – Believe In You, No Matter What

    For some of us, there comes a time in life when it feels like everyone has given up on you. You might even feel like giving up on yourself. Don’t. As I write this, I’ve just returned from spending the day in the hospital with my oldest son. Suffice it to say he’s on the…

Today’s video offers you an opportunity to think about how perception works in real time, and how living your life according to your own perceptions can be both a blessing and a curse.] We all walk through life with preconceived notions about…

  • Big project? Celebrate the milestones

    2013 started with the best of intentions. My goal is to record 300 songs before the year ends, and I’m well over 10% of the way there. And yet… It feels like this hugely daunting task right now. Like I’ll never make it. I know I’m in the thick of it. I know the year’s…

  • More of This Less of That: Prioritizing What Really Matters

    When I’m working with my clients, often times they’ll speak about something that “always happens” to them. Something that seems to come out of the blue, and yet, when we drill down, we discover that it’s usually rooted in a lack of awareness about the cause of that “something”. In The PEACE System, I illustrate…

  • The Convo: Excellence, Prayer, and Naysayers

    Got big dreams? Hold fast to them, and don’t be afraid to pray for excellence. Many times, visionary creatives have lofty goals and ambitions, but we’re met with staunch criticism when we share them. This forces us to either stop sharing, or aim lower. Don’t be that person. Instead, when things are getting to you,…

    Entrepreneurs dream of success. We crave it. We stalk it. And some of us continue to be eluded by it. You’ve probably written down a number — or certain other goals — and then began bowing at the altar of “if only.” “If only I could have x, then I’d be successful.” “If only y…
