Thoughts As I Travel Around The World...
I’m traveling around the world (I’m currently in London), so this is going to be a short email.

Here are a few random thoughts I've had as

 1.  Media Bias [facebook]
The media doesn't have your best interest in mind; it has their bottom line.

Avoid media bias. As Will Durant says: “We think there’s more violence in the world than before, but in truth there are only more newspapers.”

2. The 3 Sources of Pain [facebook]

Pain is unavoidable but you don't have to be a victim.

Freud said your 3 sources of pain: 1. Decay of body 2. Forces of nature 3. Other people - so eat right, seek shelter, stay away from morons.

3. What Kind of Person Are You? [facebook]

Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."

Do you want to be a consumer of pop-culture, or do you want to have real impact?

At some point you'll have to decide if you want to be the person remembered for staring at their phone all day or changing the world.

4. Balance Work, Love, and Life? [Instagram]

I don't believe in the work-life balance. I believe in having an integrated life.

I gave a talk today at the Happy Startup School here in London/UK (on a cool farm called "Yoghurtland"- lol) to a group of business people trying to figure out how you can become wealthy without "losing your soul."

How can you create the balance of work, love, and life?

It was cool, while I was doing my talk they had an artist drawing everything I said in real time 
(check out this mind map).

Afterwards she came up to me and said, "I just want you to know, that was the hardest mind map to illustrate of any talk I've ever drawn in my life."

No idea if that's a compliment or if she's saying I'm pretty random in how I do public speaking (probably a bit of both). But we had a good laugh about it, haha.

Be excited.

You live in the best of times my friend.

Big topic... I talk about this in depth in my White Belt VIP Mentor Program.

5. Seize the Minute [facebook]

Don't let life pass you by, my friend.

I want a group shot from everywhere I go in the world. (You should come be in my next pic!)... Took one in Bonn, Germany last week. Now this one in NYC. Headed to London for Saturday Sept 20 talk. This was an awesome group.


I learned a lot from them and hopefully they learned a thing or two from me. I spoke on "A new way to think about life and closing the sale" from noon to 7pm. But then most joined me for dinner and conversation until 2am (the W hotel cleaning guy was like, "Guys you have to leave, I need to vacuum... Haha)


Don't ever let anyone tell you this isn't the best time to live in. Now is the youngest you will ever be. As Horace, the poet, said: "Carpe Diem." Seize the day. I would break it down further: "Carpe Minutam."

Seize the minute...
