Unless we are first seduced by the package, chances are very high that we won’t buy. That’s true for a car, a bar of soap or a pair of shoes and it’s also true for what you and I have to sell. To convince, first we must be accepted. If we are turned off by [...]

Personal Development is like a map that will dutifully show you how to get where you want to go… however, whether we are reading a map or studying personal development, some times we don’t pay enough attention and don’t reach the intended goal or destination… When that happens, the easy thing to do is to [...]

It has been my experience that the Universe will give you what you expect and not what you want. The reason for this is that it is your feelings and not your thoughts that will attract whatever happens to you. That is a slight but very meaningful distinction. Have you ever noticed that when you [...]

Some very wise man said, “Regret is insight that comes a day too late.” That wise man could also have added that regret is probably the most useless emotion under the face of the Earth.

Champions are not born, they are made, self-made. They are self-made and they share a common trait; they all want to win more than anybody else… there lays their main secret.
