There’s one daily ritual that, when done consistently, will radically transform your results. And it’ll take you less than 60 seconds. And it’s surprisingly easy…

Beliefs about what can and can’t be accomplished might be the easiest thing to catch from one another. They can be transferred via voice, text, audio and/or visual, and shape how we see the world. The acceptance of statements to be true or false…

Can two words change your life? If you use them correctly. I know, you might be thinking: “Sterling, #NoMatterWhat may be a hashtag, but that’s technically three words”. But just stick with me and hear this out…

Let’s be real, “culture” is one of those nebulous words that’s hard to put your finger on exactly what it is. The dictionary defines it as “the set of values, ethics and beliefs held by a certain group”. Ok, well how do we identify those things? And how come sometimes the values or beliefs we say we have and post up on our conference room walls, aren’t always what we’re actually living by?

We all run into challenges at some point in our life. And when you did, did you ever hear: “Just change your mindset!”, “Ahh, you need an empowered mindset.” or “It’s a positive mindset that you need.” Do these comments sound familiar? I don’t believe in mindsets. At least not in the way that pop-culture interprets them. There’s something far more powerful at play here…

Everything I’ve learned from a week off the grid, working with Shamans, can’t possibly fit into a single blog. In fact, the true nature of what I’ve taken away from my latest adventure in the jungles of Costa Rica cannot easily be put into words at all. There’s a depth to the experience that…

Most everyone knows of the infamous Red Pill from the blockbuster hit: The Matrix. Neo, the protagonist played by Keanu Reeves, is presented with the option: take the Blue Pill to remain in blissful ignorance of a simulated reality or take the Red Pill to see the hard truth…

Breakthroughs don’t always have to start BIG. “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together”, said Vincent van Gogh. And I think he’s right. Sometimes breakthroughs can start in small ways and snowball into massive change…

All organizations are organized to at least preserve existing performance. It’s the same with people. Built first to survive beyond all else. Don’t get me wrong, ideally we all want to improve, but mission one tends to be: preserve what we’ve done thus far.

Most everyone knows of the infamous Red Pill from the blockbuster hit: The Matrix. Neo, the protagonist played by Keanu Reeves, is presented with the option: take the Blue Pill to remain in blissful ignorance of a simulated reality or take the Red Pill to see the hard truth…

Right now, as you’re reading this, I’m in the jungle of Costa Rica. It’s a beautiful country known for its national parks, natural beauty and world class resorts. But I’m not here for any of those reasons. I’m here to experience what many call the closest thing you can do to dying… without dying

Innovation. Breakthroughs. Transformation has been talked and written about since ancient times. Here are a few of my favorite quotes…

In 1986, Dolores Mission Church was notable only in all the ways a parish wouldn’t want to be notable. They were the poorest Catholic church in Los Angeles. They included some…

I’m willing to bet that most things are “fine” in your life and business. Your job, fine. Your health, fine. Your community, fine. Not great, but fine. Nothing to complain about… And while that’s the case on the surface, underneath, there’s a part of you struggling inside.

Discipline is necessary. But with all the coaches, articles and research, does anybody not know that these days? And yet, diets fall off, commitments fade, and the status quo returns for many companies and people. There’s something deeper than discipline alone…

Chess has long been touted to improve intelligence, memory and logic. But when it comes to applying those skills in the real world, it’s missing something. Something that Poker provides in spades (pun intended) -- weighing options, taking risk, reading people, even managing the element of luck. It’s these skills that directly translate into becoming a better player in business and even life.

Problems, obstacles or roadblocks of some kind inevitably pop up on the way to our goals. I was recently reminded of a story about a dog and rabbit that exemplifies that oftentimes, problems may not be exactly what they seem to be on the surface…

Addiction to comfort is an addiction like any other. A behavior that continues despite harm to self and others. And while its effects might not be visible in the short-term, the impact leaves your dreams, results and aspirations as casualties.

Commitment can be uncomfortable. It can be risky. It can be scary. And it’s exactly what’s needed to move forward and get results. Commitment takes the extremely complex world (that can be paralyzingly full of options) and simplifies it so you can get to work. Commitment clarifies. And it inspires. Let me tell you what I mean.
