It’s finally here. Our long awaited and highly anticipated book, Plan “B” Sucks!: WORK ON YOUR DREAMS, AND NOT YOUR BOSS’S. We would like to thank our loyal fan base for sticking around as we spent the past two years writing this book.

It goes in depth about how to and achieve your own goals in life. We went off the traditional path and gave you an unorthodox way in which we feel those who succeed often take towards success. So please pick up your copy which will be available July 22nd!

Wanted: People willing to undergo specialized training in how to succeed. This program will require rigorous intellectual schooling, intensive introspection geared toward identifying invisible blocks to success that are trapped within you, and then a long behavior-modification process necessary to overcome these inner obstacles. At the same time, you will undergo a daily on-the-job training program. Requirements for this training program are as follows: intellectual ability, a meaningful amount of capital, and the willingness to immerse your entire self-esteem into the program. It is anticipated that you will lose most, if not all, of your capital and will be forced to rationalize the whole experience to maintain your self-esteem. Although it takes a minimum of two years to reach a moderate level of success, soon after this initial training program the majority of you will drop out because it is too hard, takes too much time, requires too much flexibility, is not well defined and there are not enough concrete rules. Of the few that remain, less than 10 percent of you will enjoy the feeling of exhilaration that goes with completing what you set out to accomplish. Like the artist who only gets better, your newly acquired skill and experience will be just the start of a process that can continue for a lifetime. You will be equipped to succeed at your profession. You will be an entrepreneur.

Editor Note: This ad could apply to virtually any serious profession. It is not meant to convince you not to succeed, rather it is meant to dispel the glamorous illusions that surround being successful.

Here is a great interview Forbes did with Jay-Z and Warren Buffett. It’s about an hour long but definitely worth it!

While on a weekly Sunday call with my business partners, I came across something spectacular. Just like any other weekly business call, I usually have my TV on mute or completely off. I am glad I picked mute this time because CNBC was showing, “How I made My Millions.” Sounded intriguing, so I quickly pressed “record.” After the call I went back to see what this show was all about. Here is just a little taste …

Just another great example of what can happen when you follow your passion with a “No QUIT” clause in place.

Why do people give:

Is it from the goodness of their heart?

Is it for more selfish personal reasons?

Is it both?

The truth is that all of the above can be true. In a struggling economy getting your business off the ground and keeping it afloat is a very hard task. On the other hand you have been blessed enough to have your own business and that comes with responsibility. So giving back should be something that everyone should do from their heart. But the truth is that struggling businesses can use charity to keep the repo man away. I know this sounds very selfish, but there are many very generous individuals that believe they just do not have the resources to be philanthropic. But most small businesses have just that.

For example, a restaurant owner probably has days and times that they have specials, maybe 50% off all appetizers at a certain time. This will draw a good crowd and he/she may draw in a few first time customers. Now if this same person had an charity event at their restaurant and promote that they will donate 50% of the monies made from all appetizers to a certain foundation that they would like to give to that would bring in a much larger crowd. They would also be sacrificing the same 50% they would in their special, and would receive a lot of positive press at the same time.

That may seem selfish but at the end of the day they are still giving to charity and keeping a small business afloat. Everybody wins.
