Have you ever been scammed?
Betrayed?
I have and it sucks!
And unfortunately, many of us get scammed and/or betrayed several times in our lives.
I recently discovered a way to discern when someone is taking advantage of you and for some reason you’re not picking up on the cues.
The first thing to do is to understand why you are missing their negative intent.
The second thing is to know what to do.
Today, let’s unpack both so that you can feel more confident in dealing with other people.

Have you seen the smash Broadway show “Hamilton?” If not, you’ve probably heard the soundtrack.
The other day I was listening to “Hamilton“ and heard a line that reinforced The Law of Attraction — big time!
In “My shot” Hamilton affirms, “I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory.“
Wow. Imagining something -- anything so frequently that it feels like you’ve already lived it.
If you can imagine your ideal self to the point where it feels like a memory, you have fully engrained your consciousness such that you MUST achieve what you want.
You’ve magnetized it like rubbing a balloon to build up static electricity -- it’s on it’s way, you just have to maintain faith.

Recently, a good friend of mine lost out on a real estate deal — a BIG real estate deal; we’re talking tens of millions of dollars.
Not only did he lose the potential revenue of the deal but he also lost an $80,000 investment spent trying to acquire the property.
Think about that - he spent $80,000 and STILL lost the deal.
And the worst part was: it wasn’t my friend’s money! He had cost his company and his boss 80 large.
My buddy lumbered into his CEO’s office to give him the bad news.
Rather than chewing my friend to pieces, this excellent leader demonstrated why his company is voted year-after-year as the best place to work in Kansas City and why it’s now worth billions.
In today’s JumpStart, I’ll share this secret so that you can apply it next time something goes wrong in your life.

There’s a really unique concept that started in Kansas City and is now spreading to other cities — it’s a combination dog park and bar/restaurant.
David, a dog lover and entrepreneur found about 20 acres of basically unusable land in the middle of Kansas City and bought it.
In the center, he built a two-story bar and restaurant surrounded by dog parks for every size dog.
It’s called the BAR K (clever, eh?)
The BAR K has live music, special events for different breeds, and even has “Dog-tenders” to watch your dog while you eat, drink, and be merry.
What struck me after several visits to the BAR K is how rarely the dogs fight.
There are 2 basic rules every dog must follow and, as a result, there are hardly any growls.
If we follow the same 2 rules the dogs must follow, we will have fewer arguments and less conflict.
Today I’ll explain how you can apply this dog knowledge in your own life.

Here are some stats that will blow you away:
The average American spends a whopping eleven hours every day staring at screens.
When they are NOT looking at screens, most people receive 80+ daily notifications trying to draw them BACK to a screen.
Our lives are becoming virtual — and that’s NOT a good thing.
Today, let’s look at how screen addiction is wrecking our lives and what we can do to diminish its effects.
(And yes — I get the irony of me using a screen to write this and you using a screen to watch it.)

Most personal development programs come down to “Believe in yourself.”
And, they miss a significant point: belief in ourselves is something we all already do.
Often, with less than optimal results.
The word belief means “something you have decided is true.”
Belief is nothing more than an opinion — take that in, and opinions can (and often should) be changed!
Today, let’s explore what you’ve “decided is true” about yourself and how we can expand that belief to encompass the life you desire.

Two nights ago I had the worst experience of my professional speaking career.
When I got back to my hotel I was demoralized — even depressed.
So, then what, right?
In this JumpStart I share a very real (and painful experience) and how I got passed it.
We all experience difficult experiences and we can choose to let them define us; or, we can let them REFINE us into someone new and better.
How about you?
What challenges are you facing?
Your process for handling them will determine what shows up for you in the future.

The earth is 72% water.
Our bodies are 72% water.
To be healthy, our diets should be 72% water and yet most people exist on processed (waterless) foods.
There are little things you can do today that you’ll barely notice that will get more water-based food in your diet and bring your health into alignment.

One day I was at the gym and everyone around me was in a total swoon.
No, unfortunately, the were NOT swooning over me.
Baseball great Albert Pujos was on the treadmill next to me and, actually, honestly not everyone was in a swoon.
Not being a sports fan, I’d never heard of Pujos and so he was just “some guy” to me.
You know, in reality, ALL celebrities are just “some guy” or “some gal,” which also means that anyone is a potential celebrity — someone worthy of celebrating.
You are a celebrity to your friends, family, and others so today let’s honor the celebrity that is YOU!

My first job out of college was as a radio advertising salesperson.
I’d call on local businesses, develop a a radio marketing plan for them and then present my ideas with an invitation to “give it a try."
More often than not, their response would be, “No” and I would shrug my shoulders, thank the prospect for their time, and leave.
Needless to say, I wasn’t very successful.
Until I read a book that told me most people have to say “no” six times before they will get to a, “yes.”
Once I discovered this, I began to persevere simply asking “why not give it a try?” over and it over and it paid off BIG making me the top sales person at the radio station.
In today’s JumpStart, I share a recent experience that showed me, once again, the power of being an Unstoppable Force in the face of something very challenging.
