Our goal to empower you to a better financial future includes helping to improve your career. One of my favorite creative thinkers is Simon Sinek. He’s relatively new to the scene, but his thoughts are well articulated and more important- relevant.
In his Ted Talk “Start With Why”, he talks about how great leaders inspire action. Inspiring action is relevant whether you’re driving a corporation, a development team, or simply driving yourself. The “why” is what powers the engine, exactly what you should be trying to figure out about yourself. For those in sales, his comment “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it”, is a fundamental key to success. It’s probably important to note here that everyone is in sales… yes, everyone. If you’re an employee, you are responsible to constantly ‘sell’ your boss on the idea that he should continue to employ you. If you’re self-employed, then you’re selling to your customers and clients.
Lockheed Martin‘s (NYSE: LMT) F-35 stealth fighter jet is the definition of cutting-edge technology and like any other new technology, has been very expensive to design, develop and test. While this particular fighter has been plagued with a series of design flaws and cost-overruns, Lockheed has a winning history for the American defense industry and it’s allies by developing:
- The world’s most popular fighter, the F-16 Falcon
- The C-130 Hercules, which is the world’s most popular military airframe, (which is used for cargo, airborne refueling, command, control, communications, and close air support)
- Subsidiary Sikorsky produces the world’s most popular all-purpose combat helicopter, The Blackhawk

Our post today is an interview with Dean Graziosi from Mike Dillard’s podcast “Self Made Man“. (In no way is this information specific to the male gender however… I would say that it’s likely more probable that ladies would benefit more than men since they tend to actually apply the things they learn.)
Listen to the whole interview and I promise you’ll learn more than a few things and if you implement some of them, I promise you it will change your life.
Hashtag #MYBAGA. Any student of film knows that in order to enjoy most theatrical films, one must “suspend their disbelief”. Essentially, a sacrifice of reason and logic for the sake of enjoyment. As we have so recently ended a very contentious Presidential election, I’ll ask you to suspend your bias in order to enjoy the point of this post. Start here…
