People’s Platform
Every once in a while an idea takes shape that is timed just right. We have witnessed a platform revolution take place over the last couple of years. The digital platforms touch almost every aspect of our lives; shopping, travel, entertainment and social engagement. I could go on but you get the point. One thing is for sure, a select few have benefited from this process. The wealthiest people in the world have profited massively, while the people continue to get hit with inflation and economic troubles.
What creates value of platforms?
Interesting enough these platforms ha ..read more

Larry Van Buskirk May 6·6 min read
Orrin Woodward, and his wife Laurie, have built communities over the last 25 years numbering in the hundreds of thousands, but few people know them like I do. In fact, my wife and I were the couple who started Orrin and Laurie Woodward in community building back in 1993 and we have been friends and business partners ever since. We have had a front row seat in watching this couple transform from shy kids with few business skil ..read more

The Courage to Tell
Yourself the Right Story
“It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life,
it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!”
―Robert Kiyosaki
When you know who you are, things change. To begin with, you know you’re meant to succeed. You know you were born to do great things. You know it. Regardless of your past, you know that your future is meant to be lived in Technicolor: you are meant to be part of the “10 percent,” not average. You’ll swing at your dreams and opportunities from now on, because you know who you are.
Next, when this change come ..read more

The voices of self-doubt, self-criticism and fear aren’t part of you. They are your enemies.
The real you is the voice of courage.
Level 1 of the inner battle for success is listening to self-defeating voices, allowing fear and doubt to be the dominant voices in our minds.
Level 2 of the inner battle for success consists of consciously replacing all self-defeating voices with the voice of courage. This is an extremely important step.
Level 3 of the battle for success goes beyond Level 2 by actively engaging the voice of courage. It isn’t enough to just fight the battle between the voi ..read more

Going Against the Grain
This reminds me of a quote by one of our mentors, Chris Brady: “There is no significance in a safe life, and no safety in a significant life.” We learned very quickly that building a business means learning to take risk. In fact, really getting ahead requires some risk—but not the kind of escapist risk that makes “Must See TV” the highlight of our lives. People who are successful learn to risk in ways that actually help them get ahead in life, not just fall further into a lifetime rut of mediocrity or being average.
It does not take much to look aroun ..read more

“Courage is being scared to death…
and saddling up anyway.”
—John Wayne
To begin anything new takes courage. You are traveling into uncharted territory, beginning something without knowing the outcome. Initiative is required—and this is something we’re seldom taught in today’s schools or communities. In fact, most lessons tend to squelch innovation rather than promote and build it. Sometimes the beginning of a new business or project can be the scariest moment, the moment when courage matters most. This is the decision point.
It does not take much to look around and realize that most people a ..read more

Choosing your thinking takes courage
Two Reactions: One Bad, One Good
Reaction One: If I started worrying about their criticisms, my inner critic always joined in and I quickly started thinking things like:
– How can an auto mechanic ever become a successful business owner?
– Who am I to think I can actually lead people?
– Will I just waste my time and money pursuing my dreams? Should I just give up, get out my Visa, and go buy a bigger TV?
When I let these kinds of thoughts loop in my mind, sudden memories of my past rushed into my mind, “verifying” why I could “never succeed”.
It is import ..read more
