I’ll never be the Jenga world champion :/
A few weeks ago I played Jenga for the first time in many years. I'm not a big fan of the game. I prefer ones without sudden loud sounds (that could be why I was never a big "Operation" guy either) Any hopes of becoming the Jenga world champion were dashed that night,...
A big lesson from Michael Jordan
Last week I picked up Tim Grover's excellent new book, "Winning: The Unforgiving Race To Greatness". (I highly recommend it - and also his previous book "Relentless") Grover has trained some of the greatest athletes on the planet, including Michael Jordan and Kobe...
Paul McCartney’s crazy eye yoga exercises
I stumbled across an article about Paul McCartney advocating the benefits of doing "eye yoga". Apparently he does sets of eye exercises every day, as if he's working out in a gym. Since the eyes have muscles like other parts of your body, he says it's a good thing to...
Walking the walk

A question that sometimes comes up as I'm being interviewed on podcasts: "What's the secret to your success?" That's a hard question to give a short, 30-second answer to - but the more often I answered it, I came to realize that I owe what success I've had with my...

About coaches with “perfect” lives
When you take a look around at other coaches in the online space, it can be easy to feel deflated. A lot of them portray an image of everything being perfect in their businesses and in their lives 24/7. They make a ton of money without lifting a finger … They frolick...
I thought I was experienced, but she has me beat
I have no hard stats on the average level of experience for coaches, but I'm guessing that it's dropped a lot in recent years. I've been at it seven years (doesn't feel that long - time flies …) and I get people treating me like I'm a grizzled old veteran. But Terri...
