Today’s the day when we finally meet. Well, virtually, that is. Frankly, I think this is long overdue and I regret not sending this out earlier. What I want to share with you today is a one-hour online video of a business building presentation I did back in March of this year. This video has been [...]

How to Stay-Pain Free While Traveling By Craig Ballantyne Like everyone, I have my body parts that have aged a little faster than the rest of me. A left shoulder damaged by hockey bodychecks, a broken ankle not properly rehabilitated leading to a tight hip, and a low-back affected by the combination of my natural body [...]

If you travel a lot, perhaps you’ve watched the documentary on hotel rooms – or heard the horror stories – about how bathroom glasses are not properly cleaned between guest visits. That’s one of the reasons I’m happy to crack open an overpriced bottle of water in my hotel room. Unfortunately, during my trip to Austin, [...]

We can always count on you to strive for perfection.” I wore those words the way a proud war veteran wears his medals. But the truth is, those “medals” were a millstone around my neck [...]

I love to get up early and go to the gym. The outcome of my entire day is determined by that very first hour. When it goes well (and it almost always does), I have more energy all day long. I’m more productive. And, frankly, I am a lot more pleasant to be around. All due to [...]

While I stood at the bottom of the mountain, looking at all the people at the top, I wondered if I had what it took for them to get there. Every time I pushed myself to climb and then slipped or fell, it became that much harder to believe I was capable. It’s a defeatist attitude. [...]

Traditional success coaches are big advocates of “affirmations” – repeating statements that you’d like to be true. For example, a classic “affirmation” is: “I am rich.” Okay. Try it. Say “I am rich.” What just happened? Did you hear a voice in your head that said: “Yeah, right!”? The problem with “affirmations” is that they don’t work for [...]
