My pappy used to have this saying, “You can beat the race, but you’ll never beat the races.” This means that when betting on the ponies, you may come across an occasional “tip” or piece of inside info, but most folks, over the long run, will end up net negative at the track. How’s this […]
The Internal Variable of Guaranteed Success
Einstein famously said that “God does not play dice with the universe.” What does this mean? It means the universe, the physical world “out there,” is governed by repeatable laws. They don’t change, they don’t suddenly come out of nowhere and they don’t suddenly cease to exist. But what about human nature? Human nature is […]
Is This Really Possible?
I was talking to a client of mine the other day. They had a particular business goal in mind, and wondered if it was “possible.” My immediate response was “Well, pretty much anything is possible so long as it’s not against the laws of physics.” How do you know if it is? Just take your […]
Practice Your Thoughts

Head Turning Magnetism
I used to be friends with this girl who was a kindergarten teacher. Some of funniest stories I’d ever had. She told me one thing in thing in particular, when you tell kids what to do, they don’t listen. You stand there and lecture till your blue in the face, and they’ll ignore you. But […]
How To Maximize The Law Of Attraction With NLP
Everybody’s heard of the law of attraction by now. You’d have to have been living in a cave for the last ten years not to. However, if you’ve even tried it half heartedly, it seems like one of those meta-physical scams that is just meant as a “feel good” solution to life’s problems. I mean, […]
Imaginary Support Of Gold
Once there was a businessman, who was at the end of his rope. He was desperate, as everything he did came up short. He was having trouble paying his rent, his bills, and his family life was starting to disintegrate. One night, he went for a walk and was contemplating ending it all. His wife […]
