    Blog #229 – Should you put all your eggs in one basket.

    Diversification is a big topic among investors.

    Is it better to have all your money in one thing or to diversify across many things?

    There is no easy answer because it revolves around how risk tolerant a person is.

    Rule No. 1: Never lose money. Rule No. 2: Never forget rule No.1

    Warren Buffet

    You are not going to have many great ideas or many great opportunities so when these things come you should take advantage of them as much as you can.

    There is no such thing as a sure thing so know your downside.

    Blog #225 – A Reward Greater than Money!

    You get paid in direct proportion to the difficulty of problems you solve.

    Elon Musk

    What problem are you solving?

    If you truly care and help people then your reward will be greater than money. You will be rewarded with love, kindness, respect and gratitude.

    People will share only what has an impact on them. The biggest compliment a person can get is when they share your work.

    A great way to make your life better is to share your experience and feelings with others.

    Blog #215 – Risk It All to Get It All

    You must be confident and comfortable with the risk you are taking. Do not be willing to risk it if you are not prepared to lose it. It is only a matter of time til you lose and you have to be comfortable with losing.

    To make the hall of fame in baseball all you need to do is hit the ball 1 out of 3 times. Nobody is perfect.

    You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

    Blog #191 – What’s the probability of that actually happening?

    Be optimistic about your end game but be realistic about your life.

    Optimism will drive you to achieve great things and take giant risks. Optimism will take you on great adventures and you will do things you have always wanted to do. Optimism gives you permission to have enormous goals and vision for your life. Optimism lets us see the good and the potential in people. The world would be a depressing pessimistic place without optimism.

    The downside of optimism is that it will blind you to the risks. It will cause you to take giant chances that you shouldn’t be taking. Optimism will make you take enormous loses that are hard to recover from. You have to use realism and pessimism to mitigate your risk. How likely are you to succeed? How likely are you to lose? You must be completely comfortable if either one of these situations happen. Don’t be naive to the negative.

    Knowing you are protecting your downside allows you take bigger risks. It is a fine balance you must walk because if you are always preparing for your downside then you will not take massive action for a huge upside.

    Blog #168 – Make each day your MASTERPIECE

    Everyday you start out with a blank canvas of 24 hours. You can paint stick figures or you can pain the Sistine Chapel. What you do is up to you. It does not matter what you skill level is. The only thing that matters is your vision and determination. How much effort are you willing to put in? If you put in stick figure effort you will get stick figure rewards. Are you truly putting your all into what you are doing or are you just trying to get things done?

    If you put in life change, bigger yourself, Sistine Chapel effort you will get a greater reward. The reward will not just be monetary but also spiritually. You will be proud of yourself on many different levels.

    The reward is not directly proportional to the amount of effort you give. The reward is in proportion to the amount of value you give.

    Everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day. No one has more hours in a day than you. The difference is how people use those hours.

    What is your intention for today?

    How are you going to be better today than you were yesterday?

    Feed you mind new inspirations and information. Remove the old information that does not serve you.

    7 Things to Do:

    1. Be true to yourself.
    2. Help others.
    3. Make each day your masterpiece.
    4. Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
    5. Make friendship a fine art.
    6. Build a shelter against a rainy day.
    7. Pray for guidance and count and give thanks for your blessings every day.

  • Blog #113 – Challenge and Reward

    The best way to get things done is to reward yourself for getting them done. Treat yourself for a job well done. Make the reward conditional on getting the job done. “If I do this then I will get that!” Make sure it is something you really want so the work is worth the reward. The reward can be as simple as a soda or as big a trip somewhere. The most common and easiest to follow would be to stay focused for a certain amount of time and then take a small break. For example if you are writing then challenge yourself to write for 10 min and then take a 5 min break.

  • Blog #94 – RECOGNIZE the GOOD

    Take the time to notice and recognize the good and more good will come into your life.

    I see the good. I hear the good. I feel the good. I smell the good. I am soaking in all the good and I am the good.

    Train yourself to be more aware of what is happening and rewarding yourself when you do something good.
