Do you remember when you were a little kid and as the end of the year approached you used to always tell people, “See you next year!” or “See you in a year!” You used to think you were so funny when you said it too. Then when you’d return to school after the break you would say things to your friends like, “Man I haven’t seen you in like a YEAR!” You thought that was about the funniest thing ever.

I bet all of you are curious about what I have to say about 2010 and your New Year’s resolutions. If you’ve been reading my recent blogs, you know that I think New Year’s resolutions are bulls^*t. So in today’s podcast, I’ve got a kick in the ass for you. What you will hear in this podcast will grip you, will move you and will really wake you up in the RIGHT way as you start out this new year.

I think it is the perfect time to talk about instant gratification. It seems like every year when New Year’s Day hits, people are always looking for instant gratification. People decide on some New Year’s resolutions, and then expect that everything will just instantly change.

Hope everyone had an amazing night. I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very Happy New Year! It’s 2010. So I want all of you to read this statement and tell me how it makes you feel, and what 2010 means to you:

This will be my final podcast of 2009. In two days, it will be 2010. The roaring 10s. What did we call the the last decade? The 00s (the ‘zeros’)? The greedy 00s? The bank failure 00s? I mean what are we going to call this era (as it is about to end)? In today’s podcast, I am going to share my thoughts on the past year and the year to come.

A Happy New Year to everyone! I have a little different way for you to think about the New Year besides writing a list of New Year’s resolutions. It’s not that you should not have resolutions and big goals you want to achieve in 2009. I’m suggesting that for today, though, you focus on something [...]

Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone! We’re hours away from it being the end of the year, which means that everyone will be starting soon to think about their New Year’s resolutions. My opinion about resolutions, though, is that they are things you need to make every single day so you can become a better [...]

I had an interesting conversation the other day with a friend of mine, Max, who is also one of my coaches. He and I got into a really interesting discussion about relationships and about love. That conversation got me thinking, and I have a few questions for all of you: What do you feel about [...]
