Today we dig into what I see as the four types of jobs, and why understanding them matters a hell of a lot more than most people think. Every job you’ve ever had, or ever will have, fits into one of these categories. I don’t care if you’re stocking shelves at midnight, closing seven-figure deals, or launching your own company. There’s a reason you’re doing it, and knowing that reason tells you whether you’re stuck, moving forward, or spinning your wheels. These four classes aren’t about ego, degrees, or corporate ladders. They’re about clarity. Class One jobs keep the lights … Continue reading →

Today we discuss my personal 12 rules of business. Like many of my rules they are not exactly mine, rather those I learned from others and experience over the years. So many people seem to want to have a business but they either approach it without discipline or simply don’t know what to do so they never start. Many of my rules seem to oppose the experts, for example I do say follow your passion and many “experts” say that is a bad idea.  They say seek a business that serves a market that has high demand, forget your passion.  … Continue reading →

There have been a lot of good decisions by the courts lately that are positive for liberty. One is particular is a ruling on the home production of distilled alcohol and prohibition of it being unconstitutional.

It means people should rely on each other instead of the government for services and goods. Join … Continue reading →
