Become a Heat Seeking Missile

I am a heat seeking missile. The AIM-9 Sidewinder is a supersonic, heat-seeking, air-to-air missile carried by fighter aircraft. It has a high-explosive warhead and an active infrared guidance system. The Sidewinder was developed by the US Navy for fleet air defense and was adapted by the U.S. Air Force for fighter aircraft use. The…

Are Your Habits Asian Carp or SMART?

I saw a woman talking on television about getting a tattoo of her husband’s name and six months later he left her. Now she sees his name every time she looks in a mirror. An hour in the tattoo parlour to get her tramp stamp, and she’ll regret it for the rest of her life….

Why Business Owners Do and Believe Irrational and Detrimental Things

1. Why does a business owner stick pigheadedly to advertising that doesn’t create a viable return on investment? Why won’t he leave a service club or networking club which he joined to get more business, in spite of the fact that he has never got any business from it for years? This could be explained…

Here’s How to Evolve and Be Happy

What a ridiculous, presumptive title – as though anyone could actually instruct anyone else in the process of personal evolution! Having said that, I would like to “share” (hate that) a few tools I have found useful in the process of becoming free from the conditioning, brainwashing, and emotional pain-induced fear that stunts my consciousness….

Become a Weapon of Mass Delivery – Feeders and Filters

Okay, I know that is a weird title. By “Mass Delivery,” I mean the ability to reach enough prospective customers with enough Joint Venture offers, and/or enough offers of your own products and services, to make some serious moolah. The generation of enough prospects, that is the “Feeders” of your giant funnel, is one thing,…

What is Stunting Your Business Growth?

Four hundred years ago, a gardener planted a small pine tree in one inch of soil in a shallow dish. He trimmed each root and branch as the tree grew. When he died, his son took up the task, and so on through nineteen generations. Today that tree stands, never having outgrown the original dish,…

Pouring Poison In Your Ear?

I loved this analogy when I discovered it in a book I was reading, relaxing uninterrupted in my chair with a cup of delicious, hot tea. I pictured that old green witch from The Wizard of Oz, stinking of nicotine, pouring a deadly, bubbling poison into the unsuspecting and fragile ear of an innocent young…

Entrepreneurs Who Trick Themselves

A teacher asked her class the difference between “results” and “consequences.” A bright young girl replied, “Results are what you expect, and consequences are what you get.” Imagine a magician who uses misdirection to fool himself! That would be ridiculous, and yet, when I coach my business owner clients, I often come across exactly this….

Your Situation May be Better Than You Think

There’s the story of Houdini who swore he would escape from a locked prison cell in seven minutes. He was duly closed into the cell and everyone left, whereupon he removed the key he had hidden in his clothes and proceed to try to unlock the door. Fifteen minutes later, he was exhausted – he…

Style Only Wins Over Substance in the Short Term

Years ago, I climbed to the top position when it came to training hair stylists for the large hair product houses in South Africa: Redken, Wella, and Goldwell. Part of the reason was that I was a distinct anomaly in the beauty industry. While most of the speakers, trainers, and other “leaders” in the field…
