Secret To Everything: Believe In Yourself

[This is actually a journal entry that I decided to make public.] I think the secret to everything in life is first to believe in yourself, and then to never stop believing in yourself. I think all success can be traced back to one believing in oneself and all failure can be traced back to […]

Build Your Reputation By Doing What You Love – 27 Minute Video!

Below is a 27-and-a-half minute presentation that I gave earlier this year at the Photography Videography Summit in Salt Lake City. Although I was speaking to photographers and videographers, the message is equally applicable to any profession or dream career. Below that is even more thoughts on the subject (think of it as extra credit). […]

The Glory Days Begin Today

Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better. —Émile Coué We’ve all met people who are stuck in the “glory days.” The best part of their lives was years ago, and they only derive a sense of identity and self-contentment by reliving or talking about those days. The fallacy is that there […]

The Inner Battle – Remembering to Live It

Lately, I’ve found that when I’ve floundered in life, it’s because I’ve found myself focusing too much of my attention to my Outer Battle, and not enough to the Inner Battle. It’s ironic that I wrote The Inner Battle less than two months ago, and yet I forget to apply it in my own life. […]

Artist or…Eeeek! Marketer?

This post started its life as a journal entry about something […]

Professional Author: Income 35 Cents

I’m like 7-Eleven. I may not being doing business 24/7, but I’m always open. That’s right folks. I’ve made my first 35 cents as a published author! (Still trying to figure out how to hang it on the wall like restaurants do with the first dollar they make.) So far, according to KDP (Kindle Direct […]

“Never Tell Me the Odds”

From Empire Strikes back: C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. Han Solo: Never tell me the odds. So…what’s the point? Well first, Han Solo is the pimp-daddy of the galaxy. (I need to get me some pants like his.) But more importantly, I think Han Solo […]

Shout-Out: Writer Ryan Trimble, Discovering Rebel

This shout-out goes to a new blogger on the scene who is going to make a serious difference in the world. I don’t […]
