On Saturday I had the honor of speaking at the San Francisco Writing for Change Conference. This is my favorite writing and publishing event of the year because the people who attend are all extremely passionate. They all want to write books and build businesses to further a cause or start a movement. They are …
Recently, I found myself struggling with my work. I just wasn’t feeling jazzed, passionate or eager to get to my desk in the morning. I was having a hard time making myself write. I could see my income suffering as well. I would offer a course, and nothing would happen. No response. Not only that, …
Results. We want to achieve them in all areas of our lives—in business, health, fitness, career, finances, and relationships. We have dreams and goals, and we want the actions we take to realize them actually to turn into results. How do we ensure that we achieve results on a regular basis? It can be difficult …
Yesterday I watched an past episode of Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. It featured Bishop T.D. Jakes speaking about how to use our time effectively. I found myself pondering something I often think about: How much could I do that truly fulfills my purpose here on earth if I just gave up all the things I …
I’m a big proponent of pursuing your passion. I work with a lot of writers and I’m always telling them to combine their passion with their purpose to get inspired and write their books (and publish them or get them published). I also work with other people who simply want to create better results in …
All day almost every day–about 15-7–I labor. When I’m not at my desk or in front of my computer, I think about my work. And guess what? Most of this time no on even pays me. So why do I do it? I love what I do (or most of what I do). I’ve wanted …
I haven’t been writing much lately on this blog…not from lack of desire. It’s because I’ve had my nose to the proverbial grindstone. It’s been a good thing, though. For quite some time I’ve been complaining that I can’t get anything done. Then two things happened. I needed to get some things done on deadline, …

Everyone talks about authenticity. How do you find your authentic voice as a writer? How do you ensure that as an business person you come across as authentic? When you get up and speak about yourself and your services, how can you guarantee the audience “gets” that you are being “real”? There’s a formula that …
Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought …
I visited my 86-year-old mother this past weekend. She was depressed and upset because her dog has contracted Lyme disease and possibly also hurt its back. The dog isn’t eating and can’t walk well; it has lost control of one of it’s hind legs. My mother, also, seems to have lost her appetite. That dog …
I’ve always known that the writing and speaking I do in the area of human potential and personal growth contains an element of spirituality. Of course, my writing and speaking on the topic of Judaism, Kabbalah, and practical spirituality has a spiritual nature as well. I never saw the spiritual nature of my work as …
I gave a talk this past week to 55 people. Most people gave me good reviews; a friend said he didn’t think I shared my true self or my passion.He wanted me to do a better job of revealing myself to the audience. He felt disappointed that they didn’t get to know “me.” Two days …
