If you've hit a wall in your business and you're trying to just bang out your work until you break through it, stop. It's not going to work. You're being busy but not productive.   We all hit the wall sometimes. When it happens, don't beat your head against it trying to break though - that's just "busy-ness". You're doing work that won't yield results and will only get you more frustrated.   On today's call, I reveal some ways you can go around the wall and get back to business and...

Leverage Yourself Part 3 in a series of 3, on this WAKE UP show Jay Kubassek talks about the "Z" factors. How to use your circumstances in your environment to increase your worth. Give everything, every time! Once you make the commitment to living that way the effect will reciprocate right back into your own bank account!  

The only person you can rely on is yourself. Turn your frustration and blame into action! I can only imagine how those of you who work for the government feel today. You feel like your legs where taken out from underneath you because something happened outside of your control. In such a scenario we all have the same reactions, feelings of extreme frustration and blame.  What is there left to do? You can’t create an alternate path for yourself while you’re also blaming somebody else for your...

There was a point a few years ago in my life where I thought I had everything figured out. I had all I wanted materially. I achieved all this by "keeping the hedges trimmed" - by being diligent, working hard and maintaining laser focus. However, it seems that when you commit to growth, the more you work on yourself or your business, the more you uncover and the more there is to work on. Today I'd like to talk about a wake-up call from a very recent experience that I think has turned a page...

WAKE UP Before You're Dead Time is valuable. Time is finite. Could you say in that moment, if life would've come to an end, that you’d have been happy with the story that flashed before you? Every now and again we'll come to certain crossroads; we'll be faced with certain decisions. It’s our choice what we do in those "wake up call" kinds of moments. Those moments are like a snapshot in time of where we're at in life. They happen very infrequently, but when they do it's like a "reference...

The One Who Survives, is the One That is the Most Adaptable to Change. So many times we get lulled into thinking “status quo” is good enough, and that mediocrity will get us to the finish line.  Fearing failure, is to fear progress; have courage.

Do you ever feel like there's an invisible barrier preventing you from reaching your financial goals... no matter what you do? Have you ever wondered to yourself "Why am I working harder than ever, yet I have less and less to show for..."? Are you worried that regardless what you do, how hard you work, and how hard you try - nothing will ever change? If you find yourself thinking about these things from time to time... you are not alone. Millions of people are stuck in this place right...

This week’s Wake Up call came loud and clear; it woke me up in the middle of the night out of a dead sleep.  So many thoughts have been spinning around in my head with everything that is happening in my life. It finally hit me what this all meant.   Everything that happens to us is a result of the choices we have made in our past . Every thought we have and decision we make is a seed that we plant. If the seed is planted with good intentions and the right consciousness, we may produce a...

Inside of each of us is an incredible work of art, a beautiful statue waiting to be carved.  Yet, that unrealized potential goes to the grave with millions of people. . . what a shame.Today’s wake up call for me was the realization of that key difference- between those who actually realize their fullest potential and those who take their talents, dreams, and goals with them to the grave.  This simple distinction is what separates those who get to live the life they desire and those who drag...

What is the price of freedom? How badly do you want it? On this WAKE UP podcast Jay talks about the meaning and value of freedom and how it is our obligation to capitalize on the freedom and choices we have to create whatever circumstances we want in our life. Freedom means living a life of your choice, on your terms in order to be fulfilled and at peace. It means being able to do what it is that you are passionate about, whatever that looks like to you.  Freedom is a precious thing.  

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.”

"Do you expect of others the same as you expect of yourself...?"What are the things in your life that you tolerate that you know you shouldn't? People will only respect you and your boundaries if you respect yourself enough to enforce them.  

Proactive vs. Reactive The thought of becoming an entrepreneur is daunting. Nobody ever feels as though they have what it takes to become an entrepreneur. But if you apply this shift into your work you will one day realize you do have what it takes for a happy and fulfilled life that you absolutely love!

Over the years I have found that productivity is an elusive bugger! So often I find myself busier than a one-legged fool in an ass-kicking contest. Yet, at the end of the day (if I am honest with myself) it's clear that aside from all of the "activity"- I haven't really moved my life, my business, my projects, etc ahead much at all- if any... Thus, here are some tips for "Working Your Plan" I try to keep these in mind daily...

If hard work alone were enough to ensure business success, everyone would be retired by age 40.  The fact of the matter is this: It's not just about working "hard," it's about working hard and smart! Combined with hard work, leverage is the secret to breaking free from the rat-race, while you begin to replace your income.  It means eventual freedom! This is exactly what we teach at the Six Figure Mentors.

"Never too old to learn the tough lessons..."Sometimes it's impossible to rationalize why certain things happen, regardless there is always something we can learn - something we can take away and use to our advantage in the future. This particular WAKE UP call is very personal to me. Listen in to find out why. Enjoy, and please share your thoughts! :)

Being Prepared is a Level Playing FieldThe differences between being a successful farmer and a successful digital entrepreneur are not that great. WAKE UP! See the magnificent opportunity you have here in the digital gold rush! Don’t ever buy into the notion that the opportunity costs of being a digital entrepreneur is too great! What we have to work with is insane - we dare not take it for-granted!! Trust me, I know. I once was a bad ass farmer.
