One of the best pieces of advice I ever got in my life was from my Dad. I wouldn’t say it necessarily made me happy, but it certainly made me successful. He taught me one critical thing: that you have to look for and anticipate problems before they actually become real problems. For several years, back in the day, I was a builder working for my dad and his business partner. We did developments and things like that. They had a lot more experience than me, so they were teaching, and I was learning. One time we were building a read more

‘Go Hard or Go Home’ I’ve seen that mantra in several different contexts, in particular to athletics or anything with a kind of “edge” to it. It comes off a little severe, like something those guys who pound each other in cages on Pay Per View would say. Train hard, push hard, work hard, fight hard. Otherwise, what’s the point? In general, people recognize the truth in the phrase ‘Go Hard or Go Home.’ If you’re going to do something, either be the absolute best you can be or don’t do it at all. Well, not everything. You can enjoy read more

There’s a story of a Zen master who falls off the edge of a cliff, but he’s able to grab a berry bush sticking out of the cliff wall to keep from falling all the way down to the ground. As it turns out, though, he looks down and he’s only about 10 feet away…but there’s a hungry tiger that sits there waiting for him. He knows he can’t hang on for much longer, so what does he do? With his last ounce of strength, he picks a berry, puts it in his mouth and enjoys it. End of story. read more

A lot of us will come up with a big challenging action and get excited. We say, “I’m going to write a book” or “I’m going to start my own business.” It’s a big thing, and that’s what excites us. What happens, though, is that we often tend to lose interest even though we were so sure this was gonna be it! Why? One word: fear. We lose interest because it’s too big. We lose interest because our mind-frick says, “You can’t do this. It’s easier to just live the way you’ve been living already.” So we go back into read more

No one’s above criticism. Keeping this in mind, everybody’s seems to be able to easily criticize someone about something. This happens on an everyday, all the time. Just consider, though, that when you’re getting a critique pertaining to your job, your business, relationship, or whatever it is, listen up, because that person is giving you a critique for one of two reasons. First, maybe this person really is a good teacher or highly skilled, smart, wise, or intelligent, and they’re critiquing you from the right place of genuine wisdom, caring and understanding. I’m no statistician, but my guess would be read more

I have educational programs that I believe in and that I feel are very important for people, so I make offers. I make offers in my classes for my other classes. I’ll make a strong offer; very attractive, give everyone a great deal, tell all the good things about the program, and just do what I can to help people make a decision because I think it will be great for them. People come up to me all the time saying, “Harv, you are such a good salesperson.” Do you know what? I don’t like that word. I don’t even read more

Some of my students approach me with stories of opportunities they get for a business, but they’re not sure if it’s the right opportunity. There’s also sometimes this added lure of making more money even though it’s not necessarily aligned with their personal interests or strengths. The following is an analogy that I use in one of my courses: Imagine that you’re on a freeway–an expressway, a highway or whatever it’s called in your country–and you are looking for a specific exit. If you think it’s coming up but you’re not sure, what lane are you traveling in, the passing read more

It’s saddening to see many of my students’ struggle with loved ones while they themselves experience transformation and joy as a result of our courses or coaching. Everyone’s on their own journey, it’s just still hard to watch. So many people have partners that are not on the same path when it comes to learning, growing, goals, intentions, etc., and especially personal development. It’s very tough. This is a huge challenge for many. One of the things I say to people about our courses and programs is, “I know for an absolute 1,000% fact that we can change your life. read more

How many people do you know want to write a book? Seems like that’s a fairly common dream for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Now consider: how many of those same people actually finish what they start? This is a very common thing, whether we’re talking about writing a book or the businesses you were going to start; any of the things you’ve said that you’re going to get involved in. There’s all this passion at one point, then after a bit of time that passion tends to fizzle out. We can talk about procrastination. read more

Your conditioned mind is there for one reason and one reason only. To help you survive and keep you alive. It’s not there to make you happy or successful. For some reason its primary goal in life is to make you dissatisfied. Your mind is like an inner child. When you ignore it, just like... Read more »
