"Champions walk into the Arena having already won. Others walk in and try to figure out how to win" - Jim Fannin. Wow! Imagine if your day started like this - wake up, have a good day, and then shower, shave, breakfast, etc. You're not trying to figure out how to have a good day. You're simply making, what has already happened in your mind, a reality. According to Jim Fannin (more on him in a moment), this is how champions rise above others....Read more

Thursday morning, 12.31.09, I am sitting down with Tim Donaghy, the NBA Referee who has just been released from prison for gambling on Basketball games.

 After reading the following, it reminded me of an old song that seems to never go away. This is eloquent in its simplicity. Does this sound like your Autobiography?

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS by Portia Nelson

CHAPTER 1 - I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost ... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes me forever to find a way out....Read more

 In order to stay on the ladder to success you must adapt. Zig Ziglar says "The elevator to success is broken, you must take the stairs one step at a time." There's a world of knowledge in that quote. In this week's newsletter we have a video that shows a perfect illustration of adapting (or the lack thereof)....Read more

 In trying times like the U.S. is currently experiencing you can always count on one consistent theme, finger-pointing. Whether it’s the economy, job layoffs, or the housing crisis I am absolutely certain of one thing - it’s not my fault! If you don’t believe me, simply turn on your T.V. and you will be assured of the same thing. The finger-pointing is directed towards the President, ex-President, Congress, Senators, Realtors, Bankers, Mortgage Brokers, Wall Street, Republicans, Democrats, Ponzi schemes, etc. In other words,someone else scammed us....Read more
