Host Brian K Wright discussed more lessons learned from past guests on Success Profiles Radio. We spent the hour talking about overcoming adversity, creating your own opportunities, meeting high profile people, networking, accepting personal responsibility for everything in your life, and the importance of personal development. We discussed the importance of asking where the blessing is in everything that happens to us, as being thankful is pre-requisite to receiving more in life. In addition, being focused on others instead of self, and discovering how to fulfill someone else's goals is the best way to win someone over and get the help you need. As Zig Ziglar says, if you help enough other people get what they want, you will get what you want as well. Also, we discussed how to handle criticism from others. People who are critcal of others are often jealous, or perhaps they feel threatened by the success of those around them.

Nathan W Morris was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio, and he is the author of the new book "The Art of Getting Money". The book is an excellent discussion of the wealth and success principles of PT Barnum, who was one of the most successful entrepreneurs of the late 19th century and early 20th century. We discussed the difference between income and equity. Most people think of wealth in terms of how much money they make, whereas wealthy people think of building equity in businesses and systems that automate business for them. More importantly, wealthy think in terms of time more than they think of money. Rich people spend money to save time, while poor people spend time to save money. We also talked about the dangers of spending just to keep up with the neighbors, and the importance of context.
