Do you remember that one kid in grade school who folded paper and magically it turned into a swan, a boat, or in my case a Chinese star?  I never would have thought those juvenile talents could have turned into something big until I met 20 something entrepreneur Jason Lucash from a fascinating new start-up, OrigAudio (pronounced o•rig•audio).  So, what is OrigAudio you ask?  The website describes it as an “eco-friendly, foldable, self powered speaker.  Use them for travel, the beach, your office, camping, dorm life and everywhere else!” Jason simply put it to me like this:

“Have you ever eaten Chinese food?  Well, imagine a speaker built in to one of those white take out containers.”

My curiosity was peaked and I was most interested in learning how the heck he came up with this concept.  Jason said he just happened to be in collaboration with a speaker manufacturer and was looking for a cheap, eco-friendly speaker to take on the go and with-in a few weeks, they shipped him a prototype.  The rest is history.  ...Continue Reading

The Young Entrepreneur Society is a place for you to learn the secrets of today’s entrepreneurs and millionaires.  Louis Lautman is the founder of Y.E.S. and the creator of the YES movie.  He recently reached out to me and asked if I had heard of the his new movie.  I told him I have watched the trailer several times (see below) and that it seemed pretty interesting. He sent me over a copy in return for my brutally honest feedback.  It has gotten a lot of positive feedback, but here is my dead honest opinion…

Inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere. Even on the big screen. Being a motion picture fanatic, I like to watch movies not only for entertainment value, but I really enjoy ones that have a powerful message behind it. At the beginning of my journey as an entrepreneur, very few books were read. A handful of these movies inspired me to keep expanding my mind.  Depending on our backgrounds, different movies will resonate with different people.

This is a list of 21 films created over the past 25 years that will not only entertain you, but have the capability to impact you with the powerful messages behind them. The majority these films have personally inspired me along my journey including a few nominations from other friends and entrepreneurs in my social network.

You may know that I am a avid reader.  I make many book recommendations and love receiving them.  In my personal opinion, self-education is a MUST for any successful entrepreneur.  To sum this up, one of my favorite quotes reads “If we are not growing, we are dying.”

So when I recently visited the blog of one of my favorite books, The Go-Giver, I saw that Channel Insider (value-added reseller’s online trade journal) recently released their list of “21 Must-Read Books for Business Success.” The list of 21 knockout classics, includes several of my favorites:

Good to Great
Blue Ocean Strategy

I have never been a religious guy and I don’t plan boring you with a spiritual debate.  When one of my idol’s Frank McKinney mentioned to pick up his new book “The Tap” it sparked my curiosity on what it may be about.

After reading a couple chapters though the book, Frank really challenged me though his words.  He basically tells you to put the damn book down and go apply what I tell you.  And what he told me was a “tap” on my shoulder to go out and find something that gives me life.

Let me clarify.  If you want to be successful, you can’t make it about the money.  You have heard that before.  Having a balance or harmony in your life to be able to go out there and serve for a meaningful cause, regardless of your economic situation, will allow you to have more fulfillment in your life.  When this occurs, you actually allow wealth to come more abundantly into your life because you have taken the emphasis off of it and channeled your energy elsewhere PASSIONATELY.  ...Continue Reading

Last night I had the pleasure along with many others, to be involved with an amazing conference call discussing “The Power of Words in Work and Life”.  This call, hosted by Nextvoice 247, brought together two amazing authors.  The first (Spencer Johnson) you may be familiar with.  He wrote the bestselling books “Who Moved My Cheese“, “The One-Minute Manager“, and “Peaks and Valleys” which all totaled in over a REMARKABLE 45 million copies sold.  The second up and coming author (Kevin Hall) will soon create a legacy with his masterpiece “Aspire!“.

In the foreword of Aspire, Stephen Covey speaks highly of Kevin:

“Just as I broke new ground in human development over twenty years ago by uncovering the habits that make for a meaningful and effective life, Kevin is breaking new ground by uncovering and revealing the true intent and meaning of the words that make up those habits.”

You make the judgment yourself.  Check out this inspiration conference call:  ...Continue Reading
