More than any other conversation, I enjoy talking to people about how they arrived at where they stand today. I ask a lot of questions. I’m interested in exact numbers, educational history, family history, past achievements, daily routines, investments goals and on and on of just about anyone that has achieved even moderate success in [...]
Having lived in Utah almost all my life, there is no lack of network marketing companies to research. Several billion dollar companies are in my backyard, dozens of mid-level companies are within 50 miles and hundreds of start up companies are developed within this state. Nevertheless, thousands of people remain skeptical of an an ever [...]
I’m excited to tell you that my upcoming book is finished and has entered the final stages of the editing process. Expect to see the book hit shelves in a couple of months. In the meantime, I’m outlining below several of the checkpoints from one of the chapters entitled “More Shortcuts to Success”. Although brief, [...]
We’ve seen so many changes in 2011, ones we expected and ones that no one saw coming. I’ve spent time this week reflecting on the accomplishments in 2011, personal accomplishments and the accomplishments of industries as a whole.

I always appreciate when people are passionate. About anything really. Apathy is rampant today and going after something you believe in is admirable. That doesn’t mean you’re right however. The latest social and political movement, the Occupy Wall Street Protest, is disorganized, poorly planned and horribly executed. But that’s not even close to the worst [...]
The way we do business is changing right in front of our eyes. The new generation of wealth creators are faster and sleeker than ever before and if you’re not paying attention and dynamically moving and evolving right along with them, you’ll get passed up like you stopped to milk the cows (hint, the new [...]
Bold statement? Sure it is. In all seriousness, I worry that we hear “you have to fail in order to succeed” too often. I realize failure is a part of life and at times a prerequisite (I prefer to refer to this as trial and error, not failure) to success. However, I don’t think it [...]
