Say the word âsuccessâ, 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 dependent on our up...
If I told you that you every business only has four things that need to be focused on for it to be successful, Iâm assuming every reasonable person would want to know what those four things are. Weâve talked many times on this show about all four of these things in great detail and in a variety...
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, Iâm not sure I wouldâve bought in. However, 20 years later, not only do I get it completely, Iâm all in and hoping I can articulate it we...
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.Â
From a business perspective, itâs the time of year for me...
If youâve been listening to this show for any period of time, you know that I love questions. I love questions because, without them and without good ones, you donât get answers to things. Everything we do, everything we create, everything we get paid for starts with a question or a series of q...
If a stranger had walked up to me on the street when I was 19 or 20 years old and said, âBlaine, these are the only 5 questions youâll ever need to ask and answer for yourself if you want to lead a fulfilling and meaningful lifeâ, Iâm not exactly sure what I wouldâve done back then, but the 52 ...
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; theyâre like (insert body part), everybodyâs got one. And itâs true, unless the middle part of your brain has been damaged or removed, we all have opinions about certain things. Opinions are good, theyâre healthy, until, of course, they arenât. When your m...
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 want...
âYouâre going to have to eventually fight real peopleâŚyou know that, right?â Thatâs 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 and thought I was pretty good ...
When I was 19 years old, I decided I wanted some adventure in my life, so I applied to and was accepted into a very unique live-in student program in Chicago studying Zen meditation and the martial art of Aikido. One of the first things the founder and chief instructor of the program said to me...
