Formula for True Lasting Success
Published May 17, 2013 | 
Have you ever wondered why some people are successful at almost everything they do while others seem to struggle for everything they have?
I've often wondered why this is the case. In my life I've seen this truth over and over again. I've struggled in one way or another most of my life. In 1994, my best friend and I used to talk about this very idea. I was struggling to pay rent one month after I was unemployed for a spell. Things always seemed to come easy to him. It Read more [...]

Leave a commentOur Deepest Fear – Marianne Williamson
Published May 8, 2013 |
This is an amazing poem that I was introduced to the other day...
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel Read more [...]
Provision, Power, & Protection – The Temptation of Jesus
Published May 6, 2013 |
Why are so many people living in fear of job loss or ability to keep the lights on? Why are so many Christians living in fear of losing their homes?
Jesus called us to follow him. He called us to become like him. He promised we would be tempted and persecuted as He was. Why then is it a surprise when we are tempted with the same three things that Satan attacked Jesus with?
Provision, Power, and Protection. Luke and Matthew both recorded the temptation account of Jesus with Read more [...]

The Debt Ceiling and My Wealth
Published January 15, 2013 |
In the last four years, America has accrued over $7 Trillion dollars of new debt above the already staggering $9 Trillion that existed when President Obama swore his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America on Jan. 20, 2009. It is absolutely staggering to think that the fiscal well being of our country is being handled well.
During the last four years, the debt ceiling has been raised 4 times. Today, Congress is at a stale mate with the White House on what to do Read more [...]

Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds - Pr 27:23
As a kid, I watched a show hosted by a British man named Robin Leach called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. My friends and I would laugh at his funny accent and watch the show in awe of all the mansions, gold plates, fancy cars and yachts. It was absolutely indulgent lifestyle at its very best capturing the imaginations of everyone watching.
As I've aged, I still remember watching those episodes Read more [...]
Short Side of Short Sales
Published December 20, 2012 |
Why is stewardship so important to the Lord? Why should we care? What difference does it make to God whether we blow every last dollar we earn or we save it? Slippery Slope my friends. It is a slippery slope in deed to go down these paths.
Many of you know that I make my living investing in real estate, flipping homes, and selling real estate as a Realtor (r). The other day I was out showing a house to one of my investor clients. The house is in short sale status, as are so many Read more [...]

Excuses Lead to Ultimate Financial Failure
Published October 7, 2012 |
During the years 1996-1998, I had a mentor who used to tell me to stop making excuses. I didn't understand, after all, I just wanted to explain what happened. He was my minister, my mentor, and my friend. The honest truth is that I didn't know I was making excuses. Why? I didn't know what they looked like. I was in my early 20's and the excuse had become a common practice in my everyday life.

Keys to Financial Success
Published September 21, 2012 |
Every morning I wake up to a new success quote that my friend Daryl Wizelman puts out via email as daily inspiration for his fan base. Today, he shared a quote from Mickey Rooney.
You always pass failure on your way to success.
Profound? No, not so much, but it is quite true and not always stated like this. Success is a very interesting and yet eluding idea that is different for every dreamer and every naysayer. To some, success is owning a home. To others it is having a job. Yet, Read more [...]
