    Three Men & Their Content

    Yesterday I took five Three Action Thursday readers to the Ultimate Wealth and Achievement Summit held just outside of Washington, DC. I plan on sharing some of what I learned and/or liked next week, but today I thought I would give a little background on each of the primary speakers and share some of their content. Tony Robbins tonyrobbins.com Bio/Overview Tony Robbins has been in the personal development/self-help arena for many years. In fact, he got his start pitching seminars in the late 1970s for Jim Rohn when Tony was just 17 years old.

    I am a geek. Come be a geek, too!

    Last week I talked about how personal finance is boring and suggested some remedies. This week, naturally, I stumbled upon a great piece of “boring” content and I have been completely geeking out over it. So, I thought I’d share it. This flowchart is TREMENDOUS!  It tells you exactly what to do, provides “yes”/”no” decision points, and for the most part NAILS the basics, in my opinion. Check it out: You may also view a full-size version of this Financial Flowchart. **Action: Determine where you are on the flowchart, and see your future steps. Overachiever Action: Print the flowchart and cross out the completed boxes, revealing your roadmap for the…

    The Ultimate Wealth and Achievement Summit

    This week I simply want to share with you a valuable opportunity to learn from three of the best in the business. I have purchased a bundle of tickets to the Ultimate Wealth and Achievement Summit in Washington, DC, and I’d like to take a Three Action Thursday reader along with me. While I’m not able to provide transportation, this is a worthwhile event for anyone local or who may be available to attend. It is not every day that you get to see these three heavy hitters in one place and hopefully the idea of hanging out with me for a full day does not deter you. Who is…

    Do Affirmations Really Work?

    Remember “Daily Affirmation with Stuart Smalley”?  In the Saturday Night Live skit, Al Franken plays the (psychologically weak) host of a daily affirmations show. If you haven’t seen it, watch this one; it’s one of my favorite episodes, mostly because it includes Michael Jordan. I have to be honest: I am about 80% on board with the use of daily affirmations as part of one’s growth mindset routine.

This week I’d like to share with you my daily affirmations, provide a few tips on how…
