I could easily sell you that life. I could easily profit off of the ease … Read More
Is Joining an MLM the Same Thing as Owning Your Own Business?
Short Answer: No. Buying into an MLM is not the same as starting your own company. On paper, do you own the company? Does it say “[Your Name], president of XYZ MLM Company”? Do you pay taxes on the overall profit of the entire company? No? Ok. It’s not the same. The barrier to entry into pseudo- business ownership is … Read More

What To Do When You’re Under Extreme Pressure
“I think life is an awful lot like a pressure cooker. Something delicious is waiting for you when you release the pressure.” Sometimes, you need the pressure. You know that saying about diamonds?

Fitness pursuits and athletic pursuits are different. They are not (or do not have to be) mutually exclusive. Years ago this would have wrecked me. “How could I be … Read More
I Don’t Want My Clients to Need Me
