Product Creation Problem
This is such a common, yet important question that I receive almost everyday that I decided to devote the entire QnA session to it. It’s a really, really important stumbling block we must get over. In the product creation debate – “Should I just promote other people or create my own product?” – there is…
Read MoreThe Perfect Workout
Recently Men’s Health magazine interviewed me on the perfect workout set-up, and then I created a more advanced workout for Men’s Health UK. Then you’ll get a workout I designed for Men’s Health that they decided NOT to use in the magazine due to space constraints. So it’s a TT reader exclusive. You get my…

Imagine one day that you’re going through your mail… …bill, bill, junk mail, checks from Clickbank, and oh, looky here, an invitation to speak at TED. (TED is where the world’s leading thinkers and doers gather for an event many describe as the highlight of their year. Attendees have called it “A 4-day journey into…
Read MoreHow to Get MORE Done in LESS Time
If you’re a member of Financial Independence Monthly, you should be enjoying every issue with a fine cup of coffee or Green Tea, late on a relaxing Saturday morning… …or perhaps while you travel (I read most of the newsletters I subscribe to on flights to seminars) …or at the end of a workday while…
Read MoreThe Power of Goodwill
Imagine going into an Apple store, investing $900 in an iPhone (purchased without a contract), and still coming away feeling like you owe the company something. Sounds bizarre, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. At least not according to ETR Publisher, Matt Smith. “I bought my iPhone out of my service contract, so it cost me…

The Personal Trainer Dream Lifestyle – By Mike Whitfield Growing up, my Mom was there for everything. She would wake me for school, get me to the bus on time, and then pick me up at the end of the day to take me on errands, like our weekly trip to the grocery store. There…
Read MoreDealing with Criticism like Oprah and Tebow
On Monday morning, as I finished my breakfast, I overheard an interesting conversation on the radio between the co-hosts… Female Co-Host: Oprah’s in Toronto this week filming her show, but I guess you’re not a big fan? Male Co-Host: Ugh, Oprah. Can’t stand her. Actually, I guess she’s not so bad now. Female: Why don’t…

Back when I was a 9-year old kid enjoying summer vacation, I’d wake up, pour myself a bowl of Rice Krispies, get the sports section, and spend 20 minutes going through the box scores of every baseball game from the night before. I’d start by looking to see how my favorite player, Gary Carter (RIP,…

It worked. My plan to sleep for most of the 15-hour flight back from Hong Kong to Toronto went smoothly. I snoozed for an incredible 10 hours on the way home. But it’s left me a little upside-down in terms of alertness, and my workout kind of stunk yesterday morning. However, I’ll just keep pushing…
Read MoreBlacksmith Liberty and Entrepreneurship Camp
Last week in Bangkok we met up with a cool young guy from Slovenia named Jure. He’s a true renegade and gives me hope for the millenial generation (which can otherwise be downright scary at times). Jure not only attended our Blacksmith Liberty and Entrepreneurship camp last summer, but he then followed that up by…

My journey continues… …today we are leaving Thailand for Malaysia where Matt Smith and I will be doing a presentation and brainstorming session with the MindValley.com team. But because of those factors, and due to having minimal Internet access, I don’t have time to write a full report today, so I’m dipping into the success…
