Good Conversion Rate
Y’all are going to hate the answer I have for you, because really, there is NO answer. Yet this is a question I get all of the time. Frankly, I do NOT blame you for asking it. You’re curious, and a lot of people want to be reassured. But the truth, as it so often…
Read MoreCure for a flat butt
Last night, just before I cooked a rib-eye steak to perfection with a new recipe that my chiropractor shared with me, ol’ Bally the Dog and I went for a walk down to the lake – for his nightly swim. On our way to Lake Ontario is a busy strip of shops, with one of…
Read MoreBest Exercise for a Hot Butt
On Monday I explained that the best way to get a hot body was targeted metabolic resistance training combined with interval training. This works. Proof is in the photos (below). And if I had to choose just one exercise for getting a nice butt, it would have to be the simple lunge (of course, it…
Read MoreMarketing Lessons from Deadmau5
I follow 5 people on Twitter. Troy Aikman, my friend Brad, Matt Smith, Pete Tong, and Joel Zimmerman (aka, Deadmau5). That last guy’s name is pronounced Deadmouse. He has 5.8 million Facebook “Likes” and over 1.1 million Twitter followers. He’s an artist. Creates music. Wears a mousehead. You know, normal stuff. Joel/Deadmau5 also does some…

Do you know why the customer is always right? Because the customer is an honest, hardworking person who is just looking to get good value for their money.
Read MoreHow to Get a Hot Body (for Women)
Imagine this. (It happens ALL the time.) We’re in the gym where I train people, and a new female client comes in. “I need to get a hot body,” she says, “but my current workout isn’t working.” “Great,” I reply (thinking, who doesn’t love working with a woman who wants to get a hot body).…
Read MoreMotivation to Overcome Internal Resistance
Day off today, as Canada celebrates something something, so I’m out on the farm walking the dog and watching him chase varmints down by the river. If we’re lucky, he’ll see a deer. It happens once or twice a year, and it’s hilarious to watch the dog hopelessly take off after Bambi, who is always…
Read MoreSetting Price and Commission for Your Product
Locked in a room in Cleveland. That’s where I am. Not with Betty White though. Instead, I’m at a Dan Kennedy seminar with almost zero time to access the Internet and answer emails. Fortunately, I knew this was going to be the case, and so I prepared this QnA in advance. Once I bust my…
Read MoreLeg Workout and Bodyweight Cardio
So I’m down in Cleveland at a writing seminar, stuck in a hotel room that is miles from the nearest big gym, and in a hotel with an “okay”workout facility (good enough for one day of hill sprints on the treadmill). But this is good news for 2 reasons. First, my legs are so sore…
Read MoreHow to Beat Perfectionism and Procrastination
9am. That’s my favorite time of day. At that point, I’m just returning home from the gym and about to kickback with some breakfast and some Facebook action. But not “random scrolling around and stalking people” Facebook action…that’s a waste of time. Instead, I do rapid-fire QnA sessions on the Early to Rise Facebook page.…
Read MoreBlackSmith Liberty and Entrepreneurship Video Application Deadline
I admit it. Some days I get a little worried about this “Millenial Generation”. But then there are the days like this… My friend, Simon Black, just sent me an email with an update on our summer camp, the BlackSmith Liberty and Entrepreneurship event we hold in Lithuania each summer for aspiring business owners between…
Read MoreHotel Room Bodyweight Cardio Workout
There I was…stuck in New Jersey at a relatively nice hotel that unfortunately had one of the worst gyms in the world. It was cramped, tiny, dark, and dirty, equipped with 20 pound dumbbells, a tiny treadmill, and some elliptical machines (ewwww). It was the worst set-up for a hotel workout, BUT it was also…
