Hey, it’s STILL April and therefore I’ll take the liberty of extending April Fool’s Day to the entire month with this little ditty. My

Most people remember where they were when O. J. Simpson’s famous “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit” trial of the century ended in a not-guilty verdict. I was one of the millions of people who were astonished by that decision. Of course, I wasn’t in the trial and have to trust that the jurors came to the best decision they could with the evidence provided. DNA analysis was in its infancy then and the police made serious mistakes in handling the case.

You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t have these moments of sheer frustration, fear and discouragement, didn’t seriously consider giving up and going in a different direction – and many do. In fact, MOST do quit, which is why only a very tiny percentage make it to the top of their industry or market and accomplish what they’ve set out to do, which was part of my opening night presentation.

As I’ve often said, the most expensive advice is WRONG advice, and you really need to watch who you are allowing to influence your decisions. Are they really an expert? Have they actually done what they are advising you on? Upon what FACTS are they basing their advice? There are a lot of “gurus” out there pushing the latest method of how to become a passive millionaire in 30 days while sitting at the kitchen table in your underwear (which WAS a program at one time). Most of the people selling lucky charms are empty suits with a good sales letter and a publisher.

Choosing what you want is one of the most difficult things to do in life – and it is my experience that most people think they know what they want but are extremely vague about their ambitions, thinking in general terms, saying to themselves and others, “I want to have a ‘successful’ business,” without specifically defining what a “successful” business is to them.

This obsessive-compulsive desire for EASY RESULTS is also one of the biggest reasons why only 1% of the functioning businesses out there truly succeed and create substantial wealth for their owners. Go on and hate me if you will for that statement. It IS an uncomfortable truth, but a truth nonetheless. 

I was asked recently what I thought of the Super Bowl commercials. I told the person who asked that I had zero thoughts because I hadn’t bothered to watch them. Why? Several reasons, but the most important one: I was too busy doing things that actually generated money.

One of my favorite holidays happens this week: Valentine’s Day! Red wine, dark chocolate-dipped everything, and you don’t have a huge obligation to buy people stuff like at Christmas. At least for us ladies. Guys, well, take your chances if you like…
