    Pull Up Your Pants, Your Ego is Showing

    We are our own worst enemy. No one limits our potential more than we do. We would NEVER let someone do to us, what we do to ourselves. This week on 3AT we are going to go deep, DEEP into your consciousness, and I promise it will NOT hurt one bit. We are going to talk about the ego. It’s going to be a bit abstract, because generally “having an ego” is usually associated with arrogance, a term used to describe someone who thinks they are better than others. That is truly only part of the equation and not really the focus of this piece. The purpose of this piece…

    Build Yourself an Off-Ramp

    Last week’s post called Action Changes Things had a TON of engagement. If you missed it, check it out! I would be honored if you read it. It’ll take you two minutes! HERE WE GO! This week I want to expand on the Action theme and ‘prove to you’ OR ‘give you permission to do’ two things in life: either have a second interest OR just do something to earn additional money for yourself and/or your family. It has NEVER, in the history of the world, been easier to do two things or be dual career. Technology (primarily the internet) has made it ridiculously easy to pursue a second interest,…

    Action Changes Things

    I am not the best writer. In fact, one of the reasons I started Three Action Thursday was to develop a consistent habit of writing and, ideally, get a little better at it. (Feel free to look back at my first piece and tell me if that is in fact the case.) It is rarely easy to come up with these pieces, though, and to set time aside in my schedule to write them is often a real challenge…and, if I’m being honest, there are some weeks where I really don’t want to do it. But I “feel” like it is important, and I know it is providing value to…

    Your Assistance is Requested

    This is the 42nd Episode of Three Action Thursday. I can not believe how quickly we have reached this point. I hope over this period of time you have found a few nuggets of value buried deep, deep, deep in the content I’ve shared. I have really enjoyed creating them and I hope that you have taken some sort of action in your life to push you forward towards your goals in personal finance, personal development, and/or your relationships with others. After FORTY-TWO posts, I am hoping I have built up enough equity with you that you will allow me to ask you for a favor (or two, or three…it…

    Three Men & Their Content Part 2

    Last week, I took five Three Action Thursday readers to the Ultimate Wealth and Achievement Summit hosted by the National Achievers Congress that was held just outside of Washington, DC on the campus of George Mason University. Over 6,000 people attended the live event which lasted from 8:00am until 7:30pm. It was a long day for sure: seven speakers total, five of which I would say were entertaining and able to teach you something, while two seemed very “snake oil salesmen”-like, pitching their product/service right from the stage. I asked each person who attended to give me their takeaways and key quotes/thoughts: John S. “The harvest is abundant but the…
