The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Clay Collins says, “Your ego is like money. In fact, I believe there is something called, “The Ego Economy” that you might be wasting your time on right now. In this economy, your ego can be traded, bartered for, bought, and sold. I see people participating in the ego economy all the time: new business owners waste thousands of dollars on putting big pictures of themselves on billboards. Social media people and others in the web 2.0 space sacrifice entire days of vacation and family time so they can... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Dr. David Eifrig says, “I was shocked when my friend showed me her brokerage account. I’ve known Sue for a dozen years. We went to medical school together, and she was top in the class (behind me). Her academic record was spotless and impressive. She trained at Johns Hopkins, probably the most prestigious place you can study. She’s a rare – almost unheard-of – triple-boarded physician (medicine, hematology, and oncology). And yet her brokerage account showed $40,000 in losses. And they had... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “Mike Whitfield weighed 300 pounds at just twenty-eight years old. Each night, after arriving home from his corporate job and while deciding what he was going to have for dinner, he’d eat a large bag of potato chips. After sitting on the couch and playing video games, he’d then make a large frozen pizza and finish it off with a big bowl of ice cream. Mike’s weight ballooned until one day he couldn’t see his shoes. All of this happened because he kept lying to himself. “I... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Jonathan Fields says, “I’ve been asked the question a lot since my book, Career Renegade, came out. How do you handle fear? “Well, comes my answer, “that depends. Fear of what?” “Of failure, of course.” “Wrong fear,” I add. “You wanna be afraid, really afraid, take a look at what your life will look like not if you try and fail…but if you keep on keeping on for decades. That’s the real nightmare scenario for most people.” What?”. ‘Early... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Rich Schefren says, “I’ve been a tennis fan most of my life. I remember watching the legendary tennis player Bjorn Borg back when I was a kid. Back in those days, Borg used a wooden racket like everyone else on tour. And because of his immense skills, he won a lot of championships. Between 1974 and 1981 he won 11 Grand Slam titles… five consecutive Wimbledon titles… and six French Opens. A phenomenally successful run”. ‘Early to Rise’ Newsletter  [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Mark Ford says, “Of the hundreds of wealth-building strategies I have tried over the years, the very best one was also the simplest. It is this: Make sure you get a little bit richer every day. It sounds simple, and it is. But I give it credit for getting me started on my personal road to wealth. Thirty years ago, I had a net worth of zero, a salary of $35,000 a year, and college loans for both me and my wife that we were still paying off. With three small children, our expenses were gobbling up every nickel of... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “There’s something known as the “whoosh” effect in fat loss. My friend Alwyn Cosgrove was the first to share this concept with me. Here’s how it works. A fat loss client might find that they’ve gone weeks without any progress at all on the scale, and then suddenly, whoooosh, they’ll drop five pounds in a week. But this phenomenon of “spurts of progress” isn’t exclusive to weight loss. It’s something we experience in all areas of... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Craig Ballantyne says, “This book is dangerous. It can literally destroy your ambition, one of the most important character traits you can have. Unfortunately, young people are the most common victims. For example, this summer I was in Lithuania at the BlackSmith Camp teaching Liberty and Entrepreneurship to fifty young business leaders of tomorrow. On the second morning of the camp, my friend Simon Black expressed some frustration. It turned out that a few of the attendees had been corrupted by this book”. ‘Early... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Leo Babauta says, “Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck. I kept trying to change various habits — running, eating healthier, waking earlier, getting out of debt, ending procrastination — and I kept failing. I got very good at failing, in fact. Looking back on those days, given the power of retrospect, I now know that I did everything wrong. I was setting myself up for failure, and in failing often and not learning from those mistakes, I was learning to be good at failing. Failing became... [...]

The latest issue of ‘Early to Rise’ newsletter has been released. Ryan Deiss says, “It’s no secret that outsourcing is a great way for businesses to save money on all kinds of otherwise costly tasks. Fortune 500 companies have been taking advantage of outsourcing for decades now, giving them what many “mom and pop” businesses would call an “unfair advantage” in the marketplace. Regardless of your feelings about outsourcing, it’s long since become standard procedure for companies looking to cut costs and boost revenues. That’s because it’s... [...]
