This past week has been a busy one and filled with some great lessons for me. I’ve been off on vacation but it hasn’t felt like one because of a lack of feeling whole and complete. I will post what I think is a profound distinction that I’ve come face to face with and it all boils down to being in integrity.

If you’re looking for a sure way to come to grips with your life in a way that leaves you feeling free, more productive, happier and complete then check out this week’s post on integrity.

The Big Lie About Money

July 5, 2007 | 9 Comments


I’ve made mistakes. I’ve made a ton of them. The beauty of making mistakes is that there is a lesson to be learned in every single one of them.

When I first started my peer tutoring company a couple of years ago I got pretty excited. I thought this was going to be my ticket to financial freedom. The problem was that I had created another job for myself. I now had two jobs; one full time and one part time in my business, which meant I had to work more in exchange for a small increase in earnings.

I learned a powerful lesson from this experience - that getting another job wouldn’t get me ahead. I also learned about ‘the big lie about money’.

How many of you have ever noticed that there are a lot of people caught up in the rat race to get ahead? We all want more money, more toys, more time so that we can do more. We want more of everything. We all want to have financial wealth and abundance so that we can do whatever we want whenever we want. I believe that all of this is attainable as long as we our willing to re-examine our beliefs about money.

The problem is that most of us try to get ahead by working harder and longer hours to earn more money. The funny thing is that money isn’t even the problem. The problem isn’t out there; it’s in here - It’s in our heads! Our minds are a powerful thing and they simply haven’t been programmed for wealth. They haven’t been wired for riches.

The reason for this is because you were told a little fib when you were young. You were told a little white lie:

“Study hard and get a good job and you will have money and security.”

Twin Towers: Pain VS Pleasure

May 10, 2007 | 3 Comments


Why don’t you do some of the things you know you should do? The reason for this is because of the hidden forces behind human behavior. These hidden forces are driven by the pleasure principle. Quite simply, the pleasure principle drives one to seek pleasure and to avoid pain.

Let’s put this into context by defining what pleasure and pain are.

Pain – an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience
Pleasure - the state or feeling of being pleased or gratified.

These two towers are the evil twins of our emotions. They are the same and they are also different. They are the same because they are both emotions. They are different because they are on opposite ends of the emotional spectrum.

Our emotions are delivered through our sensory experience, which is through our visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory and gustatory senses. The net result of these five senses creates our subjective experience and our emotions.

For example, I really like sausages. They bring me pleasure. Ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you. Some of them are probably laughing right now because I’m writing about sausages, but it’s true. I could eat sausages every day and then some even though I don’t. I love the taste, the smell, the spice and the juices as I bite into them. Basically, I feel really good when I’m preparing and eating them. I love sausages! Man, am I ever getting hungry, I wonder what’s for supper…… Hmmmm…. Sausages. I think you get the point.

The reason I love them is because they bring me pleasure. There is no tricking my mind here, my senses are saying, “Sausages, come to big daddy!” The more pleasure they bring me the easier and faster I’ll move towards them.

Some days Trish, my wife, will see me in a sausage frenzy running around the house like a mad man. She’ll gently come up to me and suggest an alternative. In some cases her suggestion is very helpful and gets me to turn things around and look for other options. Trish may say something like, “Honey, you know those aren’t very good for you, why don’t you have something else to eat?” In this case I’ll think about what she said and come up with reasons why she might say something like that.

What is NLP?

May 4, 2007 | 4 Comments


This is a common question I’m asked. NLP is the acronym for Neuro Linguistic Programming. In this post I’ll explain what NLP is and how I’ve used it to alter my own experience.

You’ve probably never thought of this before but when you open a door there is a sequence of things that you do. You begin by moving your hand towards the door, squeezing the handle, rotating the door handle and then pulling open the door. This is all done automatically for you. You don’t even have to think about it.

Now on the other hand imagine that every time you went to open a door, you had to do it manually at a conscious level.  It may go something like this,

“Ok hand. Lift up and reach for the door. Come on, you can do it….. good, you got it - nice work! Ok, now I want you to squeeze the door handle and give it a twist. There you go, good, good, done. You’re doing great. Next I want you to pull open the door. < Door opens > Alright, you did great.  Thanks for helping me out hand. You’re the best!”

It’s insane to think about going through this process consciously. It would drive us nuts. Besides it would make things a hell of a lot harder to do.

For instance, you surely wouldn’t see people talking on their cell phones and driving at the same time. It just wouldn’t work. The only reason you can do both is because you drive unconsciously. Yup, it’s true. You’re half awake when you drive.

If you drove by being conscious, you would never be able to speak on the phone at the same time. What a concept.
