The Durango Double

by Jeff Walker March 24, 2011 Mindset

Last Sunday I pulled off what I call the “Durango Double”… I went skiing in the morning, and then in the afternoon I drove down from the mountain, traded my skis for my mountain bike… and I got in my first mountain bike ride of the year.

It was a big day with lots of calories spent… it left me exhausted but elated. And it left me totally energized for a big week for my business. It also got me thinking…

There’s this phrase that gets thrown around a lot – “the Internet Lifestyle”…

I think the typical way it’s portrayed is you spend an hour or maybe two working on your business while you’re in a lounge chair at the beach. Then the cabana…

Internet Marketing: even MORE proof…

by Jeff Walker March 15, 2011 Mindset

If you ever needed even more PROOF of just how powerful Internet Marketing was… well a few days ago Brendon Burchard’s new book – the Millionaire Messenger – premiered at #1 on Amazon.com and BN.com.

The Millionaire Messenger

And in a few days, when the next New York Times bestseller list is announced, there’s a darn good chance it will be near the top of that list as well.

And Brendon has done this ENTIRELY with Internet Marketing. There was no book tour, no TV or radio… he’s not a famous author, and he’s not getting a big push from a fancy New York publisher.

He’s just using the Internet Marketing tactics that we’ve all been honing for the last 10 years. He used his list,…

The Discipline of Gratitude

by Jeff Walker November 25, 2010 Mindset

Last year I wrote a note about this weird thing I call the “Discipline of Gratitude” – and it got a bigger reaction than almost anything I’ve ever published… so I decided to re-run it here now that I’ve got an “official” blog.

And I couldn’t think of a better day to publish it than on Thanksgiving…

This is something I do my best to practice every day… but of course I’m not perfect (by ANY stretch of the imagination.)

But I’ve noticed a direct correlation between the amount of GRATITUDE I have during the day and how those days go for me.

I’ve also noticed that the more gratitude I have in my life, and the more I hang out with other people with…

Injecting Poison Into Your Brain

by Jeff Walker October 13, 2010 Mindset

OK, there’s a business lesson in here… but it starts last year when I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express in Moab, Utah while I was on vacation…

(Moab is a frequent base for my outdoor adventures, and Holiday Inn Express is as fancy as the accommodations get there.)

In any case, the hotel had one of those “free” breakfast deals… so in the morning I went down to the lobby to check it out.

The breakfast spread had lots of bagels, cereal, toast, and such. And there was a bunch of tables with lots of people eating breakfast.

And, of course, there was a big TV embedded in the wall with the volume turned way up… it was tuned to a “news” show.

What a Wild Ride…

by Jeff Walker July 5, 2010 Mindset

This a personal story, and it’s sorta long… but I think it’s pretty cool, and there’s an important lesson here that totally relates to business… and two of the MOST IMPORTANT traits you need to have in your business life…

But this story starts off with mountain biking… which is one of my passions. I really love getting out on the trails for a ride… and I live in one of the best places on the planet to ride – Durango, Colorado.

But last summer I did something really crazy…

You see, I’m a solid rider with lots of experience, but I’m not a racer.

But I went and entered a REALLY difficult race – in fact just starting this race should probably qualify me…
