Usually a "NO" feels like a door slammed in your face. However, in many cases, a "NO" isn't a forever thing. If you look at "NO" differently, there's a good chance you'll get a bucketful of "YESES". Here's my experience of going from "NO to YES".   Next Step: Listen to  Three Ways To Harness The Mastermind Mindset (And Use It Across Your Business)

You'd think that success parameters are everywhere—and they are. Yet, some of them are so obvious that we completely miss them.

In this episode, that's what we explore and why it makes such a vast difference.   Next Step: Find out How Ego-Killers Can Drive Clients Away

Have you heard yourself saying: I'm not good with names! Almost everyone you run into is likely to say something similar. Is it because we're bad with names and have terrible memories? Or is it a myth that we've been perpetuating? Let's find out in this slightly odd view of memory.   Next Step: Have a listen to Why A “Lack Of Memory” Causes You To Be Less Talented In Life

The first line is what pulls us into an article. Yet we end up writing a really boring first line. What's worse is that you could use the power of story to create an intensely powerful first line in minutes. Don't believe me? Well, do you have 10 minutes?

If we went back in time, we'd all feel a little less stressed out. We weren't being pounded with endless information all the time. There weren't a million courses, workshops, training and videos, let alone an endless parade of books. It seems like we'll never keep up. And no, we won't. But there's a way around the problem and it's quite permanent. Let's fix it, shall we?

I was chatting with a client, and he told me how he needs to improve his drawing. "I always draw stick figures", he said to me, "and somehow, I need to improve these drawings." This strategy struck me as odd because I didn't see a problem with his stick figures. The stick figures looked as good as they would always be, with little room for improvement. "You don't have a problem with stick figures," I said. "You have a problem with memory!" My comment confused him because he was talking about drawing and learning to draw, but I was referring to "a lack of memory". What is this "memory" bit all about?

Do you remember the story of the Three Kings in the Bible? You might have heard that they didn't come empty-handed. That's because they understood one of the core principles of living was "giving". Not all the advice you get is obvious. Today, let's look at some not so obvious ones, shall we?

We're told we need to practice if we want to get better. However, most of the times when we're practicing, we're quite bored. Instead, "play" is far superior in every way. It's not boring and like that kid next door, we "dribble" all the time. Let's look sideways at dribbling, instead of just practice, practice, practice

Last week we heard about willpower and how ineffective it can be when we most need it. Today, we have guest—the first ever—Keira Menon. She not only gives you her version of willpower, but also tells you how she went about recording this podcast.

We're told time and time again that what we need is better willpower? Yet, science and endless studies have shown willpower to be ineffective. If you're tired, for example, you'll do things that you don't normally tend to do. Your willpower is completely ineffective in many situations. However, numbers help. How do they help and why are they so underrated? Let's find out.
