Men Of Abundance

  Keeping it Simple and Boring to Live Your Life of AbundanceKeeping your vocation or even your business boring, simple and tedious does not sound like a great way to live. But after talking to hundreds of very successful people and reading about just as many men and women, a few things stand out. One of which, they all did the same boring, simple and tedious tasks over and over for a period of time to see success. In fact, they still do those same simple and boring tasks today. Meet our Feature GuestMychal Connolly has turned his entrepreneurial success with Stinky Cakes into a vibrant speaking and writing career. Several years ago, with his second son on the way, Mychal Connolly and his wife already had many of the items normally given at showers.“We just wanted diapers — my son already had a crib and a playpen,” he recalled. “I said, ‘could we please have diapers?’” As it turns out, no. Not as a gift, anyway. “Even though diapers were a practical gift, people want to give a fun gift; it’s not a one-si

Dropping Sincere Compliments on Others to Live Your Life of AbundanceAloha Men. When's the last time you greatly improved someones day by randomly dropping a sincere compliment on a random stranger? This is one of my favorite things to do when the opportunity presents itself. But in this story, the complement really was not as easy as I feel it should have been. Let me explain. So, I've been going to Office Max to get some cards printed and laminated. I've had various card made there on four different occasions over the last month or so. Every time I go there I always notice most of the employees are generally happy and curious. Except for this one guy. This man has served my twice. The first time I went and this last time just a few days ago. Rather he served me or not, I notice he is disgruntle, direct when answering questions and kind of rude. He certainly does not look like he wants to be there. In fact, the last time he printed and laminated the cards for me, while he was scoring the edges I actuall

Making Connections and Making a DifferenceMany men are apprehensive about talking to others because they don't want to sell themselves or even talk about themselves. I've got a fix for that. Don't always talk about yourself. Talk about others. When you meet new and exciting people, ask them "How do you contribute to humanity?" "How do you contribute to humanity?" is a great discussion starter. Once they start talking look them in the eyes and listen. Listen for clues about what you can do for them. If you feel you can't contribute to their needs, start thinking about about people who can that you can connect them with. Some of the most wealthy people I personally know are connectors. Again, wealth is not always measured in dollars.  When you can connect two people or a few groups of people. Everyone you connect will remember you. When they run into someone who can collaborate or otherwise assist you, they will think of you first. Give it a try for a few days. Just start connecting people and watch what h

  Finding Life After Hate to Live Your Life of AbundanceThere is already so much hate in the world. So why would I dare bring it up on Men of Abundance? Because if we don't talk about it, it has no chance of being understood and thus it will never go away. It's hard for me to believe that extremist groups such as Skinheads and white supremacists still exist. But they do. And I'm glad to know people like Christian Picciolini are around to help people get out of the movement. This conversation gets very deep. Meet our Feature GuestChristian Picciolini is an Emmy® Award-winning television producer, a prolific public speaker, a published author, and a reformed extremist.

 What Have You Learned This Week That You Can Pay Forward?Aloha Men, This is a short one. I simply want to know what you have learned this week that you can pay forward to someone else. Be Abundant in your thoughts and actions. Most people I talk to wants the world to be a better place. But few actually want to take the action themselves. No, let me rephrase that. Most people do want to take action, they just don't. It's really not that hard when you have the Abundance mindset. The problem is, you want an abundance mindset but your stuck in this scarcity mindset that makes you think "Well, if I help this guy in my same field, vocation or business, then there won't be any left for me." It's BS. It's exactly the opposite. Miracle on 34th street is not just a great and fun Christmas story. Those stories play out every single day in my world. Go out and live your life of abundance. And make sure you Pay it Forward. https://menofabundance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/The-Five-Love-Languages.jpg () Sponsors

Why Being Busy is Getting You Nowhere FastIn today's day and age, everyone is so busy. You're busy at work, to busy for the kids, "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That". Blah Blah Blah. It's all a bunch of crap. You're not that busy. And if you are, you're certainly not being productive. Not as long as you busy anyway. What kind of life do you have if you've ever told your kids, "Sorry little guy, I can't hang out with your right now. I'm too busy"? That just kills me. Mostly because I've said it before. And now I flash back at the disappointing smile on my little guys face. It's BS. You should never be too busy to hang out with your family. Productive is what you want to be. When you're productive you can put everything in it's place on the calendar. Yes, even time to hang out with your family. Being productive is an amazing filling because you're actually accomplishing stuff. You're moving the needle and you're getting time to yourself and your family. It's all crazy important to living a life of abundance and be

Educating Your Children for Their Future?Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with an amazing and Abundant woman, Mary Hyatt, who just happens to be the daughter of Michael Hyatt. We had a conversation about, amongst other topics, how she and her two sisters were raised. Mary shared with me what it was like living with a struggling entrepreneur who finally found his niche. One specific thing Mary mentioned caught my attention. None of the three Hyatt ladies went to college. Yet they are all successful entrepreneurs. All three girls were brought up to get jobs as early as the 10th grade. They all also read books about entrepreneur children and started their own child business. This interests me because my wife and I often have this conversation. Our boys are not great in school. They are like me. Trayce, my amazing wife, was excellent is school. She was top of the class. Which is great for her and others like her. But she's always frustrated with my boys. And my for the matter. My boys and I like

Live Your Dash to the Fullest and Live a Life of AbundanceMen, it's always great to catch up with old friends. And when I say old friends, I'm referring to friends we've know for a long time. Not that they are old. Because that would make us old as well. In any case, you get the rare chance of listening in on a conversation between myself and a fellow Army Combat Medic. Tim excelled in the military. And obviously, that was just a warm up. Tim has taken Abundance to a whole new level. I hope I don't get in trouble for this. But I really wanted to share the poem, Tim was taking about. So here you go. I also shared the Ted Talk video for you below.  The Dashby Linda EllisI read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end. He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that

Living an Amazing Life, A Life of Abundance, Starts with an Abundant Mindset!Living an Amazing Life, A Life of Abundance, Starts with an Abundant Mindset! Yes, action is important. Scratch that. Action is critical to living an amazing life. You can not sit idle and expect to live a life of abundance. True Story: Years ago, I went fishing with a couple of Bass Pros. These men had won countless tournaments and bass boats that would make Tim Allen envious. I've always been an ok angler, but I've never really been able to pull in the big ones. I would snag a few but never get them on the boat. So, I thought "I'm certainly going to have a great day out here with these guys." I just have to do exactly what they do, cast the same lure they use in the same spot they do and reel in just like they do. Easy right? Well, not so much. These guys were pulling in catch after catch to my little hits and occasional tiny small mouth bass. What the hell was going on? How are they all pulling in all of these fish
