Hard work is the lie that robs you of everything worth having, and yet, every person who has something worth having has it because of hard work. This is called a paradox. I can't offer the key to solve the paradox, but I assure you, you don't have to look hard to find it.What you will have to do is accept responsibility. You must accept responsibility for yourself, yet claim no credit for your outcomes. If you are responsible for yourself, aren't you to blame for your behaviors, both the good and the bad? The answer should be yes, but it isn't. This too is a paradox.Did you choose where or to …

Fresh on the heels of The Strawberry Festival in Cabot Arkansas, I attended Galaxy Con in Oklahoma City. It started out rough. Like, rough as in, I thought about quitting the whole writing marketing thing and getting a W2 rough.Why was it so bad, and how did it go from rough to revolutionary. David Joel Stevenson taught me something, and I had the softness to hear and learn. Kudos to me, and kudos to you if you can take this talk and apply it in your life. Learning from others and failing publicly are two enormous challenges you can’t succeed without experiencing.Get David’s books here.Get…

If you’ve ever uttered the words, “I’ve been doing this for twenty years,” that should be an immediate red flag for you. No matter who you are or what you’ve been doing, experience is not a replacement for expertise. I’ve seen runners run for years and never challenge themselves, and those runners frequently get smoked by brand new runners who commit to a constant improvement protocol.The same is true in every discipline, so never confuse repetition with mastery.
