  • An Espresso Martini Won’t Solve All Your Problems — But Two Might

    I woke up at 5 a.m. a few weeks ago, stressed out of my mind. I couldn’t take it anymore. After selling my company and semi-retiring, I had built the perfect life, and now it was all crumbling down. My business partner was abruptly gone and I was left holding a bag full of problems I didn’t choose. 


    Instead of a sedate life of socializing, writing a newsletter, and taking my kids to hockey games, I was suddenly managing over a hundred employees and having to figure out how to stop hemorrhaging cash across four ventures. 


    I couldn’t do it…

    I sold audiobooks.com for $56 million.


    Now at 58, I want to pass on all of my lessons, 100% raw and unfiltered, like exactly how much debt I had on my credit card when I declared bankruptcy…


    Listen to me tell you about all the mistakes I've made in my career and life so you don't have to make the same ones. Do as I say, not as I do.

  • Nobody Ever Became a Better Person by Watching Must-See TV

    Unlike most TV shows, reading occupies a special place in our entertainment repertoire because of its power to transform our minds — by connecting us to the minds of compelling authors. And to make the most of these connections, we should be deliberate about our choices. Here are a few of my favourite...

      9. Betrayed and Hurt But Still Barefoot

        “So, if you are a barefoot open-hearted man, curiously exploring the terrain of his life and then ouch, you stepped on a rock, does that mean you pick up the rock and move it out of the way, or does it mean that you’re going to put on shoes?”

        “It means I’m going to watch out for rocks,” I said.
        “Right, because you’d rather touch the grass and the soil and the warmth and the water than cover the world in leather.”
        And I realized that I can say “Ouch,” move the rock out of the way and continue. My train hasn’t derailed. My ship hasn’t sunk. I stepped on a rock. It’s all part of the experience.

      10. The Real Meaning of Persistence: Getting Better At Quitting

        You have to fail to succeed, and that’s the way it’s supposed to be.


        I call this the Persistence Principle — 95% of things you try will yield no advantage, but the 5% that do have a benefit, will stack. That means you can and must quit repeatedly in order to have the best results over time.


        Evidence of the Persistence Principle is all around us, but it is hard to master because it goes against one of the most often quoted pieces of garbage advice we hear from our parents, our teachers, and our business mentors."


        Quitters never win, and winners never quit" is BS.


        We’re taught that winners are those who make better decisions. Winners have great intuition, they make better investments, and they hire better people. Winners stick to their guns and don’t back down.


        Wrong.


        Winners are the ones who know when to quit.

      11. How to Make Big Money Without Taking Big Risks

        The trick is not taking big risks at all. Most of the things you’re going to try will fail. Make lots of little mistakes and when something works out, then you spend a lot of money on it, when it’s already de-risked.

      12. Yes, I Have Bipolar Disorder

        I had to declare personal bankruptcy to wipe out $550,000 in debt. I got divorced, and at age 31 I moved back in with my parents. I had a three-year-old daughter that I wasn’t seeing, and I wasn’t making child support payments.

        My doctor came back with the diagnosis that I was not only depressed but that I might be manic-depressive or bipolar. I was taken aback and denied it. Manic depressives are crazy. I wasn’t crazy...

        The One Secret to Living a Great Life

        I’ve been used to living my life according to where I am in relation to my plans. Financial plans, relationship plans, and physical fitness plans. Plans for my writing, plans for my restaurants, and plans for my investments. All these moving targets. All this calculated motion.


        It’s exhausting.

      14. Discovering Truth in a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure World

        It is completely possible for two people to disagree and yet both be right. You can get from point A to B by turning left then right, or by turning right then left. Maybe one way is faster than another or passes by your favourite drive-thru, but fundamentally, they’ll both get you where you want to go. So next time you’re in disagreement with someone, open your mind to the possibility that they are ALSO right.

      15. My Heart Attack Was One of the Best Things That Ever Happened to Me

        As I lay there, I felt like going to sleep, so I closed my eyes and began to drift, but then I pictured Rishika — standing on the roadside not knowing what to do, in an unfamiliar country, with her husband-to-be sprawled on the ground — and my eyes snapped open.

        I thought to myself, “Damned if I’m going to die on the side of the Don Valley Parkway while my fiancée watches,” and I hauled myself up, got back behind the wheel, and said to her, “I think I might be having a heart attack..."
