Advice is cheap and rampant on social media today. Many coaches and consultants are giving advice on things they’re not qualified to speak on. They’re not demonstrating results in those areas.

Whenever you’re about to do something new, your subconscious mind will often create a circumstance or problem to distract you. It will try to get you to stop taking action. It does this, because it’s trying to protect you from the unknown. This phenomenon is known as the terror barrier.

Timing is one of the biggest reasons why someone won’t take action on a goal they have right now. People often use divine timing as an excuse not to take action.

There are many misunderstandings about what it means to have a vision. Many business owners get tripped up over their vision. They think if they speak it out loud, then it’s set in stone, and they’ll be pigeonholed into that.

Winning Through Intimidation by Robert J. Ringer is one of the top 15 books I’d recommend for business people to read.
