In a conversation this week I was explaining to a gentleman how I make money. He paused and then asked me this question. The implication was clear. If people are paying me money while I sleep, I must be conning or manipulating them. Unfortunately, he does not understand the difference between 'linear' and 'residual' income. That's not hidden information but if you understand it, you may have people asking you - "How do you sleep at night?” Questions: 1. What is the difference between “linear” and “residual” income? 2. Is it possible to do something once and get paid 1000 times? 3. Why some people think I’m a con artist. 4. Is it wrong to make money from just giving people a place to talk with each other?

Focusing on one thing doesn’t mean the others would have been wrong choices.

Every day I hear from people who have been given all the advantages – prestigious university degrees, fine homes, cars and positions.

There are many times when quitting is the smartest thing to do. If you’re hitting your thumb with a hammer, don’t try to do it better or more efficiently - stop hitting your thumb. Quit - look for a better alternative. Don’t focus on the humiliation of quitting. See this as a go-up opportunity. Quitting the thing where you’re just mediocre or that is making you miserable is not a humiliation - it’s a brilliant decision to move to something better. It can free you up to move into your Zone of Genius. Questions: 1. I’m Dean of Students but was just arrested and am now on administrative leave. I think my career in education is over. 2.

I am bored out of my mind. 3. Would you ever consider a free initial coaching session, or discounted coaching sessions?

A listener questioned why I always side with the dreamer in a marriage. Why don't I tell the dreamer to settle down and be content with a "regular job"?
