Results! That’s the standard the world uses to judge almost everything. In business, especially, the only thing that really matters is how much money ends up in the coffers after all the bills are paid. Of course, you and I know that's not ALL that matters, but the results of our...
Say the word ‘success’, and what comes to your mind? We all have our own ideas about and definitions of success. Yes, there is a definition in the dictionary (the accomplishment of an aim or a principle), but we all think slightly differently about the word success and it is...
If I told you that you every business only has four things that need to be focused on for it to be successful, I’m assuming every reasonable person would want to know what those four things are. We’ve talked many times on this show about all four of these things in great detail and...
If someone had told me 20 years ago to start branding myself and that the payoff would be exponentially greater than any branding I might do for my business, I’m not sure I would’ve bought in. However, 20 years later, not only do I get it completely, I’m all in and hoping I...
As you all know by now, this show is all about value. It's in the name, it's what the content is all about, it's mentioned in every single episode, and it's one of the most consistent theme words in my own life. At the end of every year, I contemplate on the prior year's successes and failures,...
Here we are again my friends, the end of another rotation around the sun. That time of year when we get to spend some quality time with family and friends, reflect on the prior year, and imagine what the year ahead might have in store.

If a stranger had walked up to me on the street when I was 19 or 20 years old and said, “Blaine, these are the only 5 questions you’ll ever need to ask and answer for yourself if you want to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life”, I’m not exactly sure what I...
I always considered myself an entrepreneur. My father introduced me to the concept of being an entrepreneur and I gained my understanding of what that meant simply from watching, doing, and reading about other entrepreneurs. I thought I knew what it meant to be an entrepreneur, that is until I...
You know what they say about opinions; they’re like (insert body part), everybody’s got one. And it’s true, unless the middle part of your brain has been damaged or removed, we all have opinions about certain things. Opinions are good, they’re healthy, until, of course,...
Since around the age of 16, I have been something of a collector. No, not comic books, not trinkets, not baubles, not those silly plates from boardwalk tourist shops. No, what I started collecting almost 36 years ago was advice. Advice that I thought was the best advice for a young kid who...
“You’re going to have to eventually fight real people…you know that, right?” That’s what the voice standing behind me said. I was 19 at the time and I was really going at it on the heavy bag at the karate school I had been training at. I was fairly new at the time...
