Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Some of you really know me. You’ve hung out with me and/or perhaps you’ve even been to my home. You may have even met my family and friends. You know how simple, authentic, and sincere I am. I drive a truck, I like to camp, and at 55, I can and do ride one of my many skateboards. I like to fly fish, workout, and occasionally play guitar. My parents (both 85)...
Top 10 Reasons Why Businesses Slowly Fail
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Think about the small businesses in your town. How many can you recall that opened and then shut down years later? My guess is a lot. I personally live and work in downtown Danville, California. It’s a quaint little town jam-packed with small businesses. Primarily… Women and Men’s clothing stores. (Danville is ranked #1 in the country for annual clothing...
Body Practice Building 101
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter I’m no bodybuilder but I do know how to build businesses. And as with bodybuilding, there’s both a right and wrong way to build a business (practice).

Yep, I’m Dying Soon :(
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Maybe that is why I’ve always been extremely punctual, a lover of vintage watches, and a long-time practitioner and proponent of thinking, elimination, automation, and leverage. Life is short and although it is a bit shorter for others, it is short nevertheless. So I’m dying soon…and so are you. We both will be dead soon. I’m not saying this to be happy or sad...

“Because” is Becoming
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter People love explanations, reasons, and making meanings out of things. It’s how they try to make sense out of themselves and the world. …To a point where we often feel the need to respond to others with why we think what we think, do what we do, and prefer what we prefer. But this self-induced obligation to respond kills our confidence. You don’t need to explain...
“Burnout” is B.S.
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter May I please be direct today? Thanks. It’s only because I care, and I know I can help. …because I’ve been there. At least 3 times in the last 20 years, I recalled feeling burned out. “Burnout” …a loss of passion, inspiration, motivation, whatever you want to call it. I know now that it’s nonsense. There is no such thing. What does exist are decisions, choices...
“Better” is Better
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter There’s a saying in business… “You can’t multiply zeros”… For example, if something isn’t working and you get it to work twice as good, it still won’t work. ( 2 x 0 still equals zero) That is why “Better” is better. Try to make what already works work just a little better. It’s even better than starting something new from scratch. So, what are you doing that...
“Busy” is Bad
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Nobody likes to talk about this… “Busy” Too many things to do, not enough time to do them. For some reason, addressing “busy” makes Chiropractors uncomfortable. To them, it’s like looking at their “Profit and Loss” or “Credit Card” statement each month. It’s too real. Too uncomfortable. Maybe too painful. “Busy” is bad. Real bad. “Busy” is a sign that you...

It’s way harder to make money than it used to be. It really is and that’s okay! Because it’s actually EASIER these days to achieve happiness. Your happiness has nothing to do with how much more money you make… so why make your happiness...
