Why Some People Give and Others Just Take

The idea of love feels timeless. While the English word is only about 800 years old, the concept itself is woven into the history of nearly every culture, from the ancient Greeks to the Persians. It’s a cornerstone of every major religion and seems to have been with us since the dawn of civilization. Love is the force that brings us together, giving us strength in hard times and rallying us toward something bigger than ourselves. It’s the classic theme in stories passed down through generations: good versus evil, love versus hate. Maybe these ideas resonate so deeply because we all feel those opposing forces within ourselves.

The Mindset You Had Before You Learned to Fail

Most of us have a few scattered memories from early childhood, maybe a birthday party or playing outside, probably from around age four or five. What we can’t recall, however, is how our brains actually operated back then. It’s easy to assume they worked just like they do now, but that couldn’t be more wrong.

Why Your Business Isn't Selling (And What to Do About It)

It’s a frustratingly common story: your business seems to have all the right pieces in place. The product is solid, the pricing makes sense, and people seem interested. Yet, the sales just aren’t there. The number one reason so many businesses struggle isn't a fundamental flaw in their model—it’s a breakdown in the art of selling.

The Formula That Ended My Freelance Cash-Flow Roller Coaster

It can all start with a simple conversation. I was walking to dinner with Josh Turner at an affiliate mastermind when he turned to me and said, “I’d like to buy your company.” He’d heard I was thinking about selling, and something about his directness felt right. Our companies were mirror images—his focused on LinkedIn, mine on Facebook. We shared the same values about taking care of our teams and clients, and our visions for a healthy work-life balance were perfectly aligned. He was ready to make a move, and frankly, so was I.

The philosopher Mencius once said that a mountain trail, if used, quickly becomes a path. But if you stop using it, grass blocks it just as fast. This is the perfect way to think about the email list for your . A common mistake people make when they is collecting contacts and then letting them sit. An email list is like a muscle; if you don't use it, it weakens. Your contacts forget who you are and why they signed up.
