First, I will be launching the coolest and most unique personal development app available on iTunes for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. I’m not able to share all the juicy details with you right now, but Read more

How I Earned $50,000 in ONE MONTH

It has been TOO LONG! I haven’t written an article in quite some time. Some of you have been scolding me via email. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m repenting!

Recently, one of my businesses brought in more than $50,000 in one month. Obviously, I’m no Bill Gates, but
for a kid from Benbrook, Texas who was living in the bad part of town not too many years ago,  trying to carve out an existence waiting tables, 50 g’s is pretty good.

I just received my Social Security reports that show how much money I’ve earned over my lifetime. Prior to my embarking on this journey of personal development, according to that report, I was averaging $7,000 annually, as an adult male, working in America. Pathetic, I know. So how did I go from $7,000 a year to $50,000 a month? Read more

Be The First

My older brother Tony was the first in our family to graduate from college. I always thought that was so cool… to be the first. He received the first ever degree in many generations of our family, and still, one of the very few today.

My brother Mike was the first Doctor in our family. I say first, because my other brother Dave, Mike’s identical twin, also became a Doctor shortly thereafter. They are the first Doctors ever in the Hughes line, that I’m aware of.

I have always wanted to be the first at something. And there are a few things I have been first at, but nothing I’m really proud of. Read more

What You Think About, Comes About

I was jussssst about to go to bed, when I happened to stumble across this video from my friend Darren Hardy.  This guy is a class act.   He has devoted most his adult life to absorbing and sharing personal development concepts.

This video is great, period.   Read more

My Definition of Personal Development

Before I discovered personal development, I thought the whole self-help industry was a scam. I thought it was all about just selling books and tapes to stupid and emotionally unstable people. I remember being in a book store and seeing the “self help” section and thinking to myself, Read more

4 Free Classic Success Books

There was a time in my life, when I couldn’t afford to buy the books I wanted to read. I would hear about a book that was a “must read,” but wouldn’t be able to buy it from lack of funds. But, that didn’t stop me from getting the information. I would camp out in Read more

How I Discovered Personal Development (Part 3 of 3)

It was a recording of a seminar that Jack Canfield did. Jack is the co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, as well as many other best-selling books. And, later, he became one of the Secret teachers on the movie The Secret. I learned “the secret” of attracting anything you want into your life, way before there was a video about it.

I listened to those two tapes over, and over, and over. It was all so new to me, and so exciting. All this talk about positive mental attitude, positive self talk, affirmations, Read more

How I Discovered Personal Development (Part 2 of 3)

This article is continued from part 1.

Even before I met her brother, Curtis, I just knew that I would be hired, and this would be what I would do for the rest of my life. After all, I had a premonition…a vision…I saw into the future. I discovered my destiny.

The next day, I went down for an interview. It was no interview at all. It was he and his business partner standing in the door way of their office just shootin’ the bull with me. After a few minutes, he said, “I like you. If you want the job it’s yours.” I said yes and was hired on the spot. I started the next day. Read more

How I Discovered Personal Development (Part 1 of 3)

It was 1998. I was a 26 year-old college drop-out. I was working as an account rep for an ice company that required lots of driving. One day between accounts, I was sitting in my car in a grocery store parking lot, my engine running, while stuffing my face with a greasy burger. Bored, I caught myself staring at the gages in my dashboard, when I noticed the temperature slowly going up. Oh no, I thought, not again. (On a trip from Hades  from Utah to Texas, my car did the same thing just before my radiator blew up.) I had absolutely no money in the bank, and knew if my radiator blew again, I’d be hanging out all day with Dr. Scholl’s. Read more

How to Overcome Your Fears

In my life, I’ve been scared a lot. I’ve dealt with fear in just about everything I’ve done. It’s a very powerful force in most people’s life. I don’t know that it’s power ever completely leaves us, at least in my experience. It certainly doesn’t control me like it once did, but it, or something related to it, still shows up from time to time.
