After writing about a dozen blog posts in 2016, I started to film video content in early 2007. Back then, there weren’t many video bloggers and video wasn’t as optimized for search engines as it is today. As with most of my business ventures and projects, I started from scratch. I used a Logitech video […]
Why I’ve Been Taking More Walking Meetings
This summer I’ve been taking a lot more walking than sitting meetings. It was originally because I was so addicted to my FitBit that I figured I would get more steps that way so I could better compete against my friends, especially my Aussie friend Simon. Of course, the more Fitbit steps you get, the […]
Money And Fame Amplifies Personal Values
You can learn more about an individuals personal values as they become more successful. Someone who has a strong moral code, and kind heart, will only become a better person with fame and money, while someone else will become destructive with the same level of success. My mentor, Marcus Buckingham, always says “people don’t change, […]
Why Being Selfish With Your Time Is Important To Your Success
The term “selfish” in every dictionary has a negative connotation. In Dictionary.com the definition reads: “lacking consideration of others; concerned chiefly with one’s own personal profit or pleasure”. I’ve been thinking a lot about the art of being selfish and what it really means especially in our society today. Despite new technologies that have eaten […]
From Unknown Blogger To Writing For TIME, HBR, Fortune, Forbes & The Economist
I never considered myself a writer and was never given positive reinforcement by my teachers growing up that I would be a good writer either. I was never able to sit still when I was a little kid so it was nearly impossible for me to read a book cover to cover and unlike today, […]
From Interviewing Unknowns to Celebrities Like Donald Trump
When I was in College back in 2006, I was taught that networking was about exchanging a resume for a job instead of actually building a relationship. As a result, it took me eight months and forty interviews, to secure a job upon graduation. I had an incredibly extensive resume with eight internships, seven leadership […]
Perfection is a Weakness Disguised as a Strength
A lot of people I meet are looking for perfection both in relationships and in their work. They are known by society simply as “perfectionists”. When it comes to their personal lives, if someone isn’t perfect by their standards, they fade them out or they try to change who they really are to fit their standards. When it comes to […]
Decide How You Want to Make Money And How You Don’t
I believe every individual can decide how they want to make money and how they don’t. I make money mainly by giving speeches, consulting, books and through my business partnership at Future Workplace. I don’t make money by exchanging my time to coach others on the art of personal branding, yet that channel has been available to me […]
From Zero To 5 Million Blog Readers And Global Syndication
When people ask me for my true inspiration for becoming an entrepreneur, it was my original blog, “Driven to Succeed“, that I started on October 4th of 2006. The blog was built on the Blogspot.com platform, which was popular from 2004 to 2007, before WordPress rose to prominent. After I graduated College in May of 2006, […]
Why Effort Is The Linchpin Of All Relationships
When I was growing up, my father was a business owner (the term “entrepreneur” wasn’t popularized back then) and I learned a lot about relationships through him. His philosophy was that you need to be kind to everyone, invest in your employees and show them appreciation. As a result, his employees stayed longer with him […]
You Should Have Regular “You Never Know” Meetings
Since I’ve lived in New York City, I’ve come to realize the power in random “you never know” meetings. I define one of these meetings as connecting with someone in person without any immediate agenda. When I lived in Boston, I was extremely specific with people I wanted to meet based on my immediate business […]
From Stage Fright In High School To A 6 Figure Global Speaking Business
During my sophomore year at Newton South High School, when I was sixteen years old, I was tasked with memorizing a speech on the topic of “affirmative action” and then presenting it to my English class. At my High School, every student is required to give a presentation on a topic of their choice as long […]
The Self Discipline Required to Successfully Work From Home
I’ve been working from home for over five years since I left my corporate job and many people can’t understand how I’m able to do it. In their minds, “working from home” is full of distractions and they imagine Homer Simpson sitting on a couch drinking a beer, while watching TV. The reality is that […]
Why Everyone Should Focus On Career Diversification
I believe you should manage your career like you would invest in the stock market, never putting all your money, energy and time into one job or project, and always have multiple income streams to protect yourself from the uncertainty of the job market. If you lose your job, you become less employable unless you […]
The New Rules For Getting Ahead At Work
The old way of managing your career has been impacted by our new economy. We now have four generations in the workforce, people are switching jobs more regularly, and corporations are hiring from around the world, and even automating positions that were previously held by people. Your job, and everyone else’s, is at risk on […]
