I’m not a financial guru by any means, but I do know how important a credit score is for things. A credit score is basically a number that shows how reliable you are at paying people back. Think paying back a car loan, or your mortgage, or your rent. The higher the score, the moreContinue reading “Simple formula I used to increase my credit score by +250”

I was talking to a young buck yesterday that is just out of college and trying to make it in sales. He’s the first real sales person at his company, similar to what I was at Malomo about 4.5 years ago (whoa…) Immediately, he began to tell me about the 1,000 things he’s doing toContinue reading “Big to small”

It’s been a while since I’ve written here. The thing is I haven’t really missed it and I haven’t really noticed. Life currently is different than I think it’s ever been.

We as humans were given the gift of speech, and speech dictates a lot in our lives. But most of us don’t understand that or areContinue reading “The Four Agreements: Agreement #1”

Being a human is pretty awesome. Most of the time. But there definitely are downsides as opposed to just being a wild animal grazing the land. One thing that makes being a human kinda sucky at times is the fact that when we make a mistake, we don’t just get hurt once and move on.Continue reading “One cut, many cuts”

My biggest trap is thinking that the next promotion, the next bonus, the next goal accomplished is going to solve all my problems. The problem with that is when I look back at my life 5 years ago, everything I said I wanted I basically have. But my mind only jumped instantly to the nextContinue reading “The biggest trap”
