- Thu, May 27 | It’s Never Crowded Along The…What a simple, yet powerful turn of phrase from Dr. Dyer.He could sometimes get a little “out there” for my taste, but he never failed to inspire me.Another one of my favorites from him is...“When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice. Why? Because that’s what’s inside. When life or other people squeeze or put pressure on you, what comes out? Whatever is already inside.”I might have to save that one for Simple Secrets: Volume II.People mentioned in this episode:* Dr. Wayne DyerBooks and other resources mentioned in this episode:* Mad MenSix things about Simple Secrets and its founder, Chris Allen:* Simple Secrets, LLC is a profit and growth consultancy based in Asheville, North Carolina, with team members around the world.* Simple Secrets collaborates with a hand-selected group of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and independent practitioners – doctors, lawyers, dentists, veterinarians, CPAs, etc. – to maximize their incomes, allowing them more well-deserved focus, freedom and fulfillment.* Simple Secrets was founded in 2015 by award-winning direct response marketer, entrepreneur, and consultant Chris Allen.* In the pre-Internet 90’s, Chris developed and marketed millions of dollars worth of physical products on radio and TV – the old "operators are standing by" days – then used his time-tested warchest of successful marketing methods to go completely digital in 2002, when the Internet began to mature.* For over a decade, Chris provided information and consulting services to a variety of Fortune 500 companies, including United Airlines, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sony, LexisNexis and The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).* When he’s not online, helping clients, Chris enjoys playing way too much Pickleball, and eating way too much pizza.Don't forget your FREE GIFTS!* If you're an entrepreneur, own a small business, or have a private practice, click the link below for FREE GIFTS guaranteed to make you more money with less stress...SimpleSecrets.com6 min

- Wed, May 19 | There Are Three Economies In The World: Time, Money…I was fortunate enough to have learned how to use the Internet to design my own “lifestyle business” years before Tim burst onto the scene with his groundbreaking book, The 4-Hour Workweek.There were plenty of insights in there that I knew on some level, but had never specifically identified or been able to articulate the way he did in the book — this one ranking right at the top.People mentioned in this episode:* Tim FerrissBooks and other resources mentioned in this episode:* The 4-Hour WorkweekSix things about Simple Secrets and its founder, Chris Allen:* Simple Secrets, LLC is a profit and growth consultancy based in Asheville, North Carolina, with team members around the world.* Simple Secrets collaborates with a hand-selected group of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and independent practitioners – doctors, lawyers, dentists, veterinarians, CPAs, etc. – to maximize their incomes, allowing them more well-deserved focus, freedom and fulfillment.* Simple Secrets was founded in 2015 by award-winning direct response marketer, entrepreneur, and consultant Chris Allen.* In the pre-Internet 90’s, Chris developed and marketed millions of dollars worth of physical products on radio and TV – the old "operators are standing by" days – then used his time-tested warchest of successful marketing methods to go completely digital in 2002, when the Internet began to mature.* For over a decade, Chris provided information and consulting services to a variety of Fortune 500 companies, including United Airlines, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sony, LexisNexis and The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).* When he’s not online, helping clients, Chris enjoys playing way too much Pickleball, and eating way too much pizza.Don't forget your FREE GIFTS!* If you're an entrepreneur, own a small business, or have a private practice, click the link below for FREE GIFTS guaranteed to make you more money with less stress...SimpleSecrets.com5 min
- Tue, May 18 | A Good Plan, Violently Executed Now, Is Better Than…I know the word “violently” is off-putting to some, so feel free to substitute “passionately,” “aggressively,” or even “haphazardly” in your mind instead.A similar quote you might like is, “Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.”I still prefer General Patton’s, though, because I never see myself as being in a state of inaction.I can easily convince myself that all my mental plotting and planning is actually taking action, when it’s really not.But I can never convince myself that all the gears turning in my head are anything close to actually “executing a plan,” so General Patton gets my butt in gear -- in keeping with his well-deserved reputation.People mentioned in this episode:* Gen.
