I didn't react at all when my lawyer called to tell me that we won the case. That's because I already celebrated the victory the second he accepted me as a client nearly a year ago.

Made me realize that's how my clients must feel, since I guarantee results for them in writing. Do YOU make sure to hire the very best provider of whatever services you need. It's never what it costs -- it's how much you benefit from it.

When service providers let you know that they are simply "doers" of certain WAYS of marketing, here's how to make sure they also have an excellent understanding of the principles of effective marketing.

I got a call yesterday from a top entrepreneur.

He was telling me about flying all over the place with his family on a private jet, and then he asked me what I'm up to these days. When I told him, he immediately said he wanted to join my group of top entrepreneurs. Just like that.

Today is Opening Day for many Major League Baseball teams, including my beloved Mets.

The marketing people for sports teams know how to keep things exciting for their fans, even -- or especially -- when the games are not being played. Are you keeping things fun and exciting in your business?

Today would have been my Mom's 84th birthday.

She taught me many valuable life lessons. Today I reflect on one of them that has shaped my businesses and had a rippling effect on thousands of my students and clients.

Many business owners and salespeople say they don't like to use "hype."

Meanwhile, examples of successful purveyors of hype are all around us today, and they wouldn't possibly be anywhere near as successful without their masterful use of hype.

Most entrepreneurs have ADHD (see yesterday's Facebook Live video).

Our lack of focus can cause us to be attracted to lots of "shiny objects." Here's the cure for that dangerous tendency -- and how to turn it into a positive instead.

Society as a whole sees ADD/ADHD as a "disorder."

However, pretty much all high-achieving entrepreneurs have it. The key is how you take advantage of the positive things about it, and minimize the negatives.

People on TV seem to be constantly using some really ridiculous phrases these days.

When you are communicating for business purposes, PLEASE don't make the mistake of using unclear or absurd phrases.

Do you ever catch yourself saying "I can't afford it" when you are presented with an opportunity that you know would help you grow your business, or make more money, or just enjoy your life more in general?

You will start experiencing much more success when you stop making that excuse and start asking this key question instead.
