    When the Machines Take Over

    Last week, we looked inward with my piece entitled “Pull up Your Pants, Your Ego is Showing”. Today, though, we are going to swing the pendulum in the complete opposite direction and explore the effects of technology on our money, our personal development, and our relationships. Bottom line up front: I believe that the technology growth trajectory has outpaced or is beginning to outpace a human’s ability to react to the changes, and has already outpaced society’s ability to cope with the changes. It’s imperative that we adjust our own habits and double down on a growth mindset when it comes to our personal development, how we plan to provide…

    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…

    The “Self Made” Fallacy

    Some of you noticed that we skipped a week last week. I was fresh off a week-long excursion to Utah and life and work just caught up with me. So, I apologize for that! The impetus for the trip to Utah was for my annual participation in Mastermind Talks (MMT). MMT is a by-invitation-only entrepreneur conference run by Jayson Gaignard and his wife; the highly curated event has a lower acceptance rate than Harvard. I am truly blessed and humbled to be a part of the MMT Community. I am also excited to share some of the things I learned with YOU, my Three Action Thursday Community. One of the…

    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…
