1027. Do You Have Sales Balls 🍒
Do you have sales balls? Sales is full of risk. Asking for the sale, following up, standing on price, challenging an objection, prospecting, cold calling—all of it requires you to risk rejection, embarrassment, wasted time, or feeling like you pushed too far. But here’s the shift: Most salespeople spend too much time focused on the risk they feel instead of the risk the customer feels. Your customer is weighing uncertainty too. Can I afford this? Is this the right decision? Can I trust this salesperson? Can I trust this company? Am I going to regret this? In this episode, I break down how to stop making sales risk about you and start helping your customer reduce theirs. I’ll give you four things to look for with every customer: • Why are they here? • What do they have now? • What isn’t being said? • How can you make the decision easier? Because sometimes the “NO” you hear is really “KNOW” in disguise—they simply don’t know enough yet to feel confident moving forward. The more you can identify, reduce, or eliminate that risk, the more valuable you become as a salesperson. And yes—that takes sales balls. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.

1026. If You Fill Your Current Position, You'll Find Your Next One
You don’t have to wait for a promotion to move up. You can move up right now—in your discipline, decision-making, communication, problem-solving, responsibility, and ability to lead. In this episode, I share an idea I heard from Jason Rasti, president of Louisiana Dealer Services, on the No Box Checking podcast: you can move up without changing positions. That hit home for me because I’ve always said, “Play to the opportunity, not the position.” Too many people wait until they see the next opportunity before they start preparing for it. But by then, it may be too late. The next level brings new pressure, harder decisions, conflict, responsibility, and the expectation that you can draw the best out of other people. A title doesn’t prepare you for that. What you build before the title does. So if you feel like you’ve been overlooked, don’t waste the season you’re in. Build your capacity. Strengthen your weaknesses. Raise your standard. You don’t need anybody’s permission to move up. Fill your current position, and you’ll find your next one. TEXT ME!

1025. Your Words Say One Thing. Your Tone Says Another. Your Text Says Nothing.
In this episode, I’m talking directly to you about something that can quietly cost you sales: the difference between what you say, how you say it, and what gets lost when you hide behind text. This idea came from Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, where he writes about enthusiasm, sincerity, and belief—and how customers can hear when you genuinely believe in what you’re offering. You can have the right numbers, the right product, and the right argument, but if your customer can’t feel your conviction, something is missing. We’ll talk about why persuasive selling is not self-service, why you need to be present when your customer is reviewing an offer, how to listen for uncertainty and the “yeah, buts,” and why courage and confidence are built through the effort of having the conversations you’d rather avoid. Your words say one thing. Your tone says another. Your text says nothing. If you want to stop acting like a commodity and start showing up with more conviction, sincerity, and belief in what you offer, this episode is for you. TEXT ME!

1024. 5 Ways To Be More Creative. (Even If You Think You're Not)
Most people don’t think they’re creative. I disagree. Creativity isn’t something you either have or you don’t. It’s a skill—and like any skill, you can develop it. In this episode, I’m giving you five practical ways to become more creative: learn to observe without immediately judging, collect ideas throughout your day, build an environment that feeds your thinking, study creative people and pioneers, and most importantly—actually do something with what you’re learning. Because creativity feeds your imagination. And imagination is what helps you take what you already know, combine it with your experiences, and see possibilities you couldn’t see before. You probably don’t need another book, another class, or another piece of information before you move forward. You may already have enough in the tank. What you need is to trust yourself enough to use it. So quit saying, “I’m just not creative.” Start exercising the muscle. Observe. Collect. Study. Create the environment. Then go do the thing. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. Peace. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

Why You’re Not Getting What You Want | Napoleon Hill’s Simple Rule for Success
Today's Random Reading is from Napoleon Hill's Law Of Success. He wrote that “the battle for the achievement of success is half won when you definitely know what you want.” In this episode, I break down why the what matters more than the how or when, and why “until” may be the only timeframe you need. Get definite about what you want, commit to a handful of simple actions, and stop disrupting your momentum by constantly looking up to see if it’s working. TEXT ME!

EP 1022: Why You Keep Sabotaging Your Own Success | 3 Forces Working Against You
Success isn’t only threatened by failure—it’s threatened by the forces that quietly convince you to stop doing the work. In this episode, inspired by Steven Pressfield’s Do the Work, I break down three forces that can sabotage your progress: resistance, rational thought, and friends and family. Learn how to recognize when you’re negotiating with yourself, giving in to comfort, or allowing other people’s expectations to keep you where you are—and why staying committed to your process is the way forward.

1021. "AND" Is The Price You Pay For The Life You Want
What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances—it’s your buts? “I want to get in shape, but I’m too busy.” “I want to get out of debt, but I still want to eat out.” “I want to make more money, but I don’t want to do all that extra work.” In this episode, I unpack an idea from Seth Godin that I love: you can either live with your buts and accept the consequences, or turn those buts into ands. “I want to lose weight, and I understand I’ll have to track my calories and get up earlier.” “I want to be debt-free, and I understand I’ll have to give some things up.” The “and” is the price you’re willing to pay for the life you say you want. Your buts keep you negotiating with yourself. Your ands reinforce the commitment. And while the discomfort of changing can feel heavy at first, it’s temporary. Regret can last decades. You don’t have to change your entire life today. Make the shift, pay today’s dues, and keep moving. Which one are you going to live with: and or but? TEXT ME!

How to Solve Problems When You Feel Stuck
Episode 1020: In this episode, I want to challenge the way you think about imagination. Most people hear that word and immediately think of artists, filmmakers, inventors, or people who are naturally creative. And because they don’t see themselves that way, they assume imagination just isn’t one of their strengths. I don’t believe that. Napoleon Hill calls imagination “the workshop of the human mind.” That definition changes everything. Imagination isn’t fantasy. It’s the ability to take old ideas, established facts, past experiences, mistakes, skills, and lessons and put them together in new combinations. That matters when you feel stuck. Sometimes the problem isn’t that you need more information, more money, more time, or another opportunity. Sometimes you need to stop treating the facts of your situation like permanent limitations and start asking a better question: What else can I build with what I already have? I also share one simple practice I use to keep that workshop active: a few minutes of random reading to introduce new ideas and create new connections. Your experience is inventory. Your failures are inventory. Your old ideas are inventory. The workshop is already there. This episode is about learning how to use it again so you can see more possibilities, solve problems differently, and get moving when you feel stuck. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

The 30 Minutes That Saved My Life
Episode 1019: The Best Investment I've Ever Made Takes 30 Minutes a Day What if the biggest change in your life didn't require more money, more time, or another productivity hack? In this episode, I share the simple 30-minute habit that has shaped my thinking every single day since 2017—and why I believe it literally saved my life. This isn't about reading more books. It's about discovering ideas you never would have searched for, thinking more deeply, and applying one lesson every day. I explain why random reading unlocks creativity, strengthens focus, connects ideas in unexpected ways, and helps you change the narrative of your life. If you've ever said, "I don't have time to read," or "I just can't finish books," this episode is for you. Forget reading cover to cover. Learn a simple system of reading, writing, and applying that can be done in less than 30 minutes a day. Because the goal isn't to become well-read. The goal is to become well-applied. If this episode challenges you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message and tell me: What random book did you read today, what idea jumped out at you, and how did you apply it? Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

The Nvidia Leadership Principle That Changed How I Give Feedback
ep. 1018: The Nvidia Leadership Principle That Changed How I Give Feedback What if the biggest leadership mistake isn't giving too much feedback—but giving it to too few people? In this episode, I share one of the most powerful leadership lessons I took away from The Nvidia Way. As Nvidia grew into one of the world's most valuable companies, Jensen Huang realized that one-on-one coaching no longer scaled. His solution challenged the way I think about leadership, accountability, and building a learning organization. We explore why one person's mistake can become everyone else's lesson, how public feedback—when delivered with the right intent—can improve decision-making across an entire team, and why great leaders focus on scaling learning, not just managing people. Whether you lead a business, manage a sales team, coach others, or simply want to become a better communicator, this episode will challenge you to rethink how feedback is given and how organizations learn. If you're tired of repeating the same lessons over and over, this conversation may change the way you lead. In this episode, you'll learn: Why great leaders make learning scalable. The difference between public learning and public embarrassment. How feedback can improve decision-making before mistakes happen. Why accountability and transparency create stronger teams. A practical leadership question that can transform the way you coach others. If this episode challenges your thinking, I'd love to hear from you.

Why You Lost Your Initiative (And How to Get It Back)
Episode #1017: Initiative Is the Greatest Underrated Superpower What if one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck isn't a lack of talent, intelligence, or opportunity—but a lack of initiative? In this episode, I explore why initiative may be the most underrated superpower we have. It's permissionless. It's simply doing the right thing without being told what to do. More importantly, it's the starting point for boldness, courage, creativity, curiosity, faith, and ultimately leadership. You'll discover why complacency begins the moment we stop exercising initiative, why initiative is like a muscle that must be worked daily, and how consistently taking action exposes you to new experiences, better judgment, stronger relationships, and opportunities you never saw coming. If you've been feeling stuck, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting and start moving. Let's get it. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

What's The Use? (It Won't Make A Difference Anyway.)
Have you ever caught yourself asking, "What's the use?" What's the use of saving money if it's not enough? What's the use of working out if you don't see results? What's the use of reading, practicing, or making one more attempt when it feels like nothing is changing? In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves: that effort is only worthwhile if it produces immediate results. I share a different way to think about progress. You're not in the results business—you're in the elimination business. Every time you make the effort, you eliminate a temptation to quit, procrastinate, or cope. You eliminate the assumptions that tell you you already know how the story ends. The outcome will come in its own time. Your job is to keep removing the things that stand in its way. If you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or wondered if your efforts even matter, this episode will help you reframe the conversation you're having with yourself—and give you a reason to keep going.

My Biggest Sales Mistake: Are You Negotiating With Yourself?
Ep. 1014. Are you negotiating with your customer... or negotiating with yourself? In this episode I'm talking about Wallet Share—one of the biggest psychological mistakes we salespeople make. Too often, we assume a customer won't buy because we wouldn't. We project our own financial comfort level onto the customer, mistake silence for rejection, and start offering discounts or concessions before the customer has even objected. That's not negotiating with the customer. That's negotiating with yourself. In this episode, you'll learn: What Wallet Share is Why salespeople talk themselves out of deals How to stop negotiating from your own budget Why silence isn't always rejection How to present numbers with confidence and let the customer decide Whether you're selling cars, real estate, insurance, technology, or any high-ticket product, this sales principle will help you negotiate with more confidence and close more deals. Remember: "It's your obligation to give your customer options. It's their right to say yes or no." Don't negotiate from your wallet. Negotiate from their goals. TEXT ME!

How to Change Your Life: The Confrontation You're Avoiding
How to Change Your Life: The Change You're Seeking Is the Confrontation You're Avoiding | Ep. 1013 Most people don't change their lives because they keep changing everything except themselves. A new job. A new relationship. A new city. A fresh start. But if you bring the same mindset, habits, fears, and excuses with you, you'll eventually recreate the same life in a different place. In this episode, I share one of the most powerful stories from Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success—the story of the man who lost everything and the unexpected "person" Hill introduced him to who could restore his fortune. I also share my own story of hitting rock bottom in 2017—bankruptcy, demotion, and one of the darkest seasons of my life—and why confronting the man in the mirror became the turning point that changed everything. If you're ready to stop running from yourself and start becoming the person you're capable of being, this episode is for you. In this episode you'll learn: Why changing your circumstances rarely changes your life. The power of self-awareness and honest self-confrontation. How to stop carrying old baggage into new opportunities. A simple daily practice to begin changing from the inside out. Why lasting transformation starts with the person in the mirror.

Why Is It So Hard To Break Old Habits?
In episode 1012, I dive into one of the most powerful passages from Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success and explore why breaking bad habits feels so difficult—and why it's so easy to fall back into old ones. Most people think they're negotiating with a decision. I believe they're actually negotiating with their former self. We'll talk about why old habits never completely disappear, how your environment and senses shape your subconscious, and why Hill's idea of following a "desired line" may be the missing piece to lasting change. You'll learn: Why old habits come back so quickly. The hiking trail analogy that explains how habits are formed. Why your former self is patient—and always waiting. How to stop negotiating with yourself. The simple question I use to make better decisions: Does this strengthen a problem or strengthen a skill? If you've ever felt frustrated because you made progress only to slip back into old patterns, this episode will give you a different way to think about habits, discipline, and lasting change. Remember: establish the line, stay on the line, and let repetition do the work. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough. TEXT ME! Support the show 📣Who needs to hear this episode?

Have you ever caught yourself thinking... "I have no idea what I want to do with my life." If so, you're not alone. For most of my life, I didn't know my purpose either. It wasn't until my 50s that I finally realized my purpose wasn't something I had to *find*—it was something that had been revealing itself through every job, every setback, every frustration, and every lesson along the way. In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed everything. You'll learn: Why it's okay not to know your purpose yet. The fastest place to start when you feel stuck. Why your "dead-end" jobs aren't wasted. How frustration and pain often point you toward your greatest contribution. Why the skills you're building today may become the foundation of the life you're meant to live. You don't need all the answers today. You just need a direction. If you know what you "don't want, " that's enough to take the first step. --- If this episode helped you, subscribe and share it with someone who's trying to figure out their next step.

1009. How To Stop Reacting & Start Thinking
Most people think they're thinking. They're not. They're reacting. Reacting to work. Reacting to bills. Reacting to stress. Reacting to whatever problem showed up this morning. And when you're constantly reacting, it's easy to wake up two years later feeling like you're still dealing with the same problems, just wearing different clothes. In this episode, I'm going to share a simple system that helped me break out of that cycle when I hit rock bottom in 2017. After bankruptcy, a demotion, and rebuilding my life from the ground up, I realized I couldn't keep trusting the same thoughts that got me there. And it's by doing "very little." The system is simple: Read a little. Reflect a little. Apply a little. That's it. No complicated routines. No productivity hacks. Just a practical way to feed your mind better ideas, think more intentionally, and start making progress one day at a time. Because the goal isn't just to solve today's problems. The goal is to stop living in reaction mode and start directing your life with purpose. Keep it simple, keep it moving, never settle, stay tough. TEXT ME!

1008. Why Do We Make Things So Much Harder On Ourselves?
Why do we make things so much harder on ourselves? That's the question we're tackling in Episode #1008 of What's Your Problem? Most people have been taught that knowledge is power. I disagree. Organized knowledge is power. There's a big difference between consuming information and actually understanding it. In this episode, I share one of the biggest lessons I've learned from Napoleon Hill's Law of Success: there are two ways to gain knowledge. The first is through other people's knowledge—the lessons, mistakes, experiences, books, podcasts, interviews, and wisdom left behind by those who went before us. The second is through personal experience. The problem is that most of us ignore the instructions and choose to learn everything the hard way. We admire successful people. We like the highlights. We long for the finished product. But too often, we skip the process that got them there. Why reinvent what others have already sacrificed to leave behind? This episode is about becoming a student of your craft. It's about organizing what you learn, developing a deeper understanding, and leveraging the experiences of others to shorten your learning curve without eliminating the work required. You still have to do the work. You still have to gain your own experience. But you don't have to start from scratch. If you've ever felt like you're working harder than necessary, spinning your wheels, or trying to figure everything out on your own, this episode is for you.
