Life was never better, though I didn’t have time to stop and smell the roses as the savings were disappearing, the numbers counting down like New Years in New York. The work days were more of a marathon variety, lasting upwards of 17 hours, and I had no financial gains to show for my work, I […]

It’s Never Too Late To Chase Your Dreams
We’re oddly creative at excusing ourselves from success yet don’t bring that same creativity to creating success. We excuse ourselves from living the life we want to live because of our starting point. We say it’s not the right time to start living our dreams, that tomorrow is a much more convenient time to begin. We even coerce […]
Motivation is a Myth. Get Hungry.
It isn’t motivation you need, it’s hunger. It’s not inspiration or passion, but hunger. Some are hungry for success and for improvement no matter how successful they get because they’re also worried that they’re losing this hunger, constantly. It’s fear of complacency that drives them as much as a desire for greatness. It may be […]
How Much Can You Know About Yourself If You’ve Never Been in a Fight?
Fighting isn’t macho. It’s not how a man proves himself to another man or how he proves himself to a lady. Fighting has nothing to do with anything but the individual and his desire to prove to himself that he can face his fears, that he can take the pain of getting hit and hit back. […]
Forget Finding Your Passion. Just Work.
“Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.” ~ Thomas Jefferson The word “work” is far too often spoken with a tinge of resentment. Many of us resent where […]
The Beauty of Being Breathtakingly Brilliant At What You Do
There’s an aura surrounding certain men where their talents seem so supreme that it’s as if God paid just a bit more attention in creating them for a single purpose.

A Bucket List Fit for a Legend
I’d rather spend my money on experiences or on my business than on things.

D-Day was only a few days ago but the stories I heard and watched hit me, stuck with me. All of them.

There are days, birthdays, Remembrance Days, Veteran’s Days, D-Days, when mere moments in time’s […]
Yes, You Should Man Up and Grow a Pair.
Sitting on me arse, writing away, I broke one of my own golden rule; I got distracted. I opened my email account to check what was going on in the middle of a workday when I was supposed to be writing, not emailing or Googling or Facebooking. It was with that initial act of weakness, […]
