Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

You can’t ignore the fact that the ‘competitive spirit’ is becoming more and more rare among men and women, both in this country and around the world. Not only is competitiveness in short supply, but many people even look down upon it, considering those who are competitive to be shallow, greedy and vain. However, here to explain why the world at large is not a zero sum game, and why truly competitive people are people who compete with themselves more than anyone is sports psychologist, motivational speaker and author of The MindSide Manifesto, Dr. Brett McCabe. Dr. Brett McCabe had a long history in sports, and it was there, under the guidance of his coach and military father, that he learned to cultivate the inner drive for success. And from that point on it was only a matter of time before he got it, training professional golfers and writing best sellers. With automation and globalization on the rise, it’s becoming difficult for many people to believe that they can utilize their individuality and make something of themselves in a world so crowded and seemingly governed by uncontrollable forces. Dr. McCabe, though, has spent years studying the human element behind achievement and has come to the realization that we alone are our own greatest resource, and an investment in oneself in the only way of unlocking our true potential.      Learn more about your ad choices.

Despite being incredibly hard workers who execute flawlessly on the job, many high achievers are 'invisible'. We're not taking advantage of our strengths and we're not certainly not putting it out there to the public into the marketplace. But in the digital age, a great work product isn't enough anymore.

One of the main reasons why people find themselves stuck in a dead-end job and unfulfilling life is that they have not taken the time to ask, ‘What, exactly, do I want for myself.’ Here to discuss this issue is the multi-company CEO, real estate investor, and contributing author to Jack Canfield’s book Success Formula, Anne Marie Smith.  After a difficult separation with her ex-husband, Anne Marie Smith found herself broke and living with a family member about 22 years ago. Feeling hopeless and lost, she began reading books on business and self-improvement. It was then she decided to make a list of everything she wanted out of life, regardless of how ludicrous it seemed, how far away it all was, or what others would think. It was this simple task that gave her the motivation to launch her career, helping her achieve her personal and financial goals, and giving her the opportunities to provide inexpensive housing for disadvantaged families.  Today, she is going to talk about the difficulties she experienced, her journey up, and how having a clear vision of your goals is the first and most important step towards reaching them.  Learn more about your ad choices.
