- 20.07.22 | Often The Rules For Success Are So…You’ve undoubtedly heard the old saying, “Behind every great man, there’s a great woman.”Well, here’s a variation for you...“Behind every great success, there’s a great system.”Though both the great woman and the great system go unnoticed, their presence makes all the difference in the world.Success is all around you. If want to create more success in both your professional and personal life – notice I did not say “attract more success” – you need to identify and emulate the system that’s producing it.• People mentioned in this episode:W.

- 20.07.21 | Maybe So; Maybe Not…This quote doesn’t mean anything unless you know the classic Zen story behind it.I heard Dr. Dyer tell it years ago, and here’s how I remember it…A farmer walking into town passes The Buddha and says, “Buddha, please help me.""Something terrible has happened. My ox just died and now I have no way to plow my fields.""Isn’t that the worst thing that could have happened to me?”The Buddha replies, “Maybe so; maybe not.”The farmer walks away shaking his head, thinking The Buddha has obviously gone mad.On his way home, he spots a huge, strong, wild horse and ropes him.This horse will do even more work than the ox.Next week, the farmer sees The Buddha and says, “You were right! I now have a horse that can do twice the work of my old ox. Isn’t that wonderful news?”“Maybe so; maybe not,” says The Buddha.Again, the farmer walks home thinking The Buddha has lost touch with reality.When he arrives, he finds his son lying on the ground with a broken leg.He had been thrown while riding the new horse.On his next trip into town, the farmer spots The Buddha and says, “You were right again.""The horse broke my son’s leg. Now he won’t be able to help me at harvest time.""Surely, Buddha, don’t you see this is the worst news imaginable?”“Maybe so; maybe not,” the Buddha calmly replied.That was the last straw!The farmer walked away, telling himself he had wasted enough time seeking advice from this old, senile man.Just then, word spread throughout town that war had broken out against a bigger, stronger village.Troops were going to every house and farm to round up all the able-bodied young men to fight.They would be outnumbered and outmatched, and would most likely die.The farmer rushed home.The troops had come, but since his son had a broken leg, he was not taken, and his life was spared.And from that day forward, the farmer never doubted the wisdom of The Buddha again.• People mentioned in this episode:Dr. Wayne DyerAndrew CarnegieJohn D.

- 20.07.16 | You Never Know What People Are…When I was in college, I was fortunate enough to work a semester at Walt Disney World.It was great!A few hundred students from around the country would come in and work for three months, while also taking classes to learn about a different aspect of the operation.At our final orientation, the lady giving the class said, “Disney World is known as the happiest place on Earth, and you’re going to see so many people having the time of their lives.”“But the truth is, too, that in surveys conducted in virtually every country around the world, this is the number one place that people say they would like to see before they die.”“You will see a lot of people in wheelchairs and with obvious medical needs.""But many people want to come here while they are still well enough to enjoy the park fully. They may not show any outward signs of illness or disability yet.”“When you see a guest in a wheelchair or with a disability, we want you to be as helpful to them and make their experience as pleasant as you possibly can.""But we expect you to give the exact same level of treatment and care to every guest you encounter.""Because the truth is… you never know what people are going through.”That little talk has remained with me from that day forward.What profound advice.• People mentioned in this episode:None today (personal story).• Books and other resources mentioned in this episode:None today.• About Simple Secrets and its founder, Chris Allen:Simple Secrets is a profit and growth consultancy based in Asheville, North Carolina, with team members around the world.We collaborate with a hand-selected group of private practitioners – veterinarians, dentists, architects, and others – to maximize their incomes and allow them more focus, freedom and fulfillment:What do we mean by “private practitioner?”Usually, that’s a small business owner who’s earned the distinction of having letters after their name.Simple Secrets was founded in 2015 by award-winning direct response marketer and entrepreneur Chris Allen.In the pre-Internet 90’s, Chris developed and sold millions of dollars worth of physical products on radio and TV, then used his same time-tested marketing skills to go 100% digital as the Internet began to mature in 2002.For over a decade, Chris provided information and consulting services to a variety of Fortune 500 companies, including United Airlines, Saks Fifth Avenue, LexisNexis and The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).Today, Chris and his team enjoy helping a select group of private practice professionals through his profit and growth consultancy, Simple Secrets, LLC.• Don't forget your FREE GIFTS!If you own a private practice or small business, click the link below for FREE GIFTS guaranteed to make you more money with less stress...SimpleSecrets.com5 min
