An entrepreneur once asked a wealthy and established businessman, “How did you do it? How do you continue to increase your profits year after year? The wise businessman gave the young man a very sage piece of advice. He told him, “It has never been and never will it be, my intention to make money.”   Check out Jay's Blog at www.jaykubassek.com/wakeup   "Jay Kubassek is a younger, hipper version of Tony Robbins with practical content as well as the capacity to inspire." - The Toronto Star

In life and in business, we have opportunities every day to fail our way forward and it's not fun. If we're afraid of failing we can't play full–out so we end up holding back, playing only 90% because we want to be safe. Seeing Peter, (who doesn't even know the word "failure" exists), how his life just isn't difficult, he's never struggled for anything, he has the ivy-league education, he has near perfect SAT scores, and everything he touches turns to gold... well, at least that is the way I...

The's a law of the universe that says "what goes around comes around". It may take a long time, but what you put out there comes back to you several times over. It all starts with your thoughts. Everything around you – the people and environments you associate with – shape your thoughts and every thought you have is like a boomerang you've thrown into the universe. Throw it the wrong way, and it will smack you in the head sooner or later. On today's call I discuss how you can tune your...

If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. Self validation comes from knowing you're living up to excellence. Whatever the circumstances, by doing your best, going above the call of duty, you validate yourself.  While we all appreciate being validated by others, the difference will be that you no longer “need” it, instead you will step into a place of power.

Is there a way we can actually program our brain to become our friend and ally instead of our antagonist? According to research, a person's reflexes kick in automatically, up to a second before one consciously decides to take action; before we rationalize it. Yet in our minds, we think that we decided it in our mind. When we have a reaction or a reflex (most of our actions are reflex actions), that causes our mind to trigger a decision about what to do. The point here is that we go into...

Love and fear are the only two energies in life, and everything we do comes from those two places. They can both motivate us to act, but in the end, love will always be a greater motivator than fear. What this means for us online marketers is that we can build long term success better if we operate from a place of love than from a place of fear. On today's call I explore how you can train yourself to operate from a space of love, not fear. Fear-based success is not sustainable long-term...

This is a replay of a podcast I did during my first business trip to London, England in September 2012.  Keep the big picture in mind. In this podcast we talk about the importance of sticking to your mission no matter what. The work you're doing today will yield results that you cannot possibly foresee. Sometimes it's hard to keep the focus on your mission in life when the results aren't evident. In such situations, ask yourself: If I am willing to stick with my mission, even if the...

So many people allow the inertia of life to dictate their results. Statistics are for average people, and averages are for normal people. If you live by average and what’s statistically likely, you’ll never get anywhere great. I believe that your chances of having the results of the 1% of the most successful people in the world are 100% guaranteed if you do the same things that those 1% of people do. Anything less than that, and you won’t. If you haven’t gotten anywhere, it’s because you...
