For years, I have been interested in the science of decision analysis. Afterall, it is decisions and outcomes that make the world go round. It is decisions and outcomes that decide the winners and the losers.

This past weekend I had the honor of speaking about how to build a business at the Fall FMI Conference. (If you aren’t familiar with FMI, it is a training resource for fitness and sports professionals that offers them career and personal development education.) This was my first ever invitation to speak at FMI, and let me just tell …
Success in life doesn’t just “happen”. You make choices and you perform certain actions, which in turn, give you various outcomes based on those choices and actions. You choose to eat healthier. You choose to go to the gym. You choose to stay faithful to your partner. You choose happiness. You choose success – and YOU choose failure. It’s all …
Seems like all everyone wants these days is a cutting edge training program, a sophisticated diet plan, delicious recipes that burn fat & build muscle, and exotic supplements that do all the work for you.
