Allow me to be one of the first in wishing you a very, merry, and even happy new year. Who would have thought 2010 would have come around so fast? I know I didn’t.

Nevertheless, it is here and it is our time to shine. As with all new years, I believe in setting year long goals, following them, and holding myself accountable. Let me be honest, last year didn’t go so well for me. I didn’t plan very well, didn’t see a change that rocked my business world, but survived with my health and ambition, so it is on for 2010.

This year, I plan on doing things a little bit differently. First of all, I intend on mapping my course this year to a T and making sure that it comes out the way I intend for it to happen by getting up earlier, reaching out more, and working harder to make these things a reality.

This year, I will complete my dream board, 5 year goals, and 1 year plan of action to kick this life into overdrive. Now is the time and this is the year.

What are your plans for the upcoming year? Share a few goals with me as I do with you and let’s enjoy this journey together!

Happy New Year!

Ok, as of this video I, I am on day 75 of P90x. But I wanted to get a video in before the new year, so here I go.

Overall, this is a wonderful 90 day workout program for anyone wanting to gain control of the physical fitness and health. But a word of caution, this is a serious, high impact, high intensity workout routine for 90 straight days.

If that worries you, then maybe you should look into P90, which is a lessor version of the more extreme P90X. There is a difference.

Did you do P90X? What do you think?

Greetings Good People,

Today we are discussing a very important topic, expectations. They are critical to consider because then tend to lead your life. People with low expectations usually reach them. While people with high expectations are typically enhanced by doing so.

Isn’t it about time that you started to have high expectations of yourself, your work, your business, your life, your family? Sure it is!

Higher expectations lead to better performance.

What do you think?

Greetings Blog Family,

Today I want to talk with you about the Dream Board that I am constructing.

It dawned on my the other day that we are not getting any younger and our physical vitality isn’t either. Therefore, we have to strike while our irons are hot. Now is our time to set our goals and go for them.

The Dream Board is a concept that helps you in this process. This is a concept that I got from book called, the Power of Focus. You can read it or get by clicking the picture below.

I x V = R

Imagination times Vividness equals Reality. This is the concept I picked up from this book. The book is about a lot more, but this concept is something that stuck with me and it is the backbone of the Dream Board.

Are you going to complete a Dream Board with me?

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

Greetings Blog Family,

The time has come for us to stop having one night stands in pursuit of our worthy goals and dreams. It is really frustrating to see us waste our energy, dissipating our energy and efforts with all the starting and stopping in pursuit of our goals and dreams. We need consistency.

Consistency is the key

Consistency is a monster because it provides you with two of the essential elements of success that you need to take your business, life, endeavors to the next level.

The elements that I am talking about are confidence and motivation. Confidence grows internally when you perform day and day and create a track record of success that you can feel and is tangible in your life. The momentum comes from from this consistency and creates the energy, enthusiasm, and belief that you need to make everything you desire to happen.

Get the video in your life and share it with others. Now is our time!

First in the Mind, then in Reality!

Blog Family,

Health is wealth and I want to encourage you to get some and pass it on. I have been on this kick for the past few weeks because I have set out to accomplish one of my major life goals, running the Chicago marathon. But instead of just throwing myself into 26 miles of pain, I plan on running an half marathon this year and next year tackling the big boy marathon.

Believe me Health is Wealth!

Some of you out there might be thinking that health isn’t all that important to your future, but I say that it is very important to your future. Think about it, regardless of what your goals are health is at the center of it. How would accomplish any of your goals if you were not in at least decent health? How could you travel around the world, climb a mountain, or even climb the corporate ladder if your health is out of whack.

Often times, I get someone that says health isn’t wealth, nor their goal. They want to create financial freedom for their descendants. But I say how can you do this if your health is not in order? Seriously, it is going to take massive energy and effort to make this a reality, but if you are not working out where is it going to come from?

Then, let’s say you hit your goal of financial freedom. Don’t you want to be around long enough to watch your family enjoy the fruits of your life long labor? I would think that you would.

Enjoy the video and make sure you let me know what you think, but I hope it is able to inspire you to get off your butt and get into the fitness game.

Greetings Blog Family,

Today I wanted to share a great quote with you that is particularly close to me. I have been reading and studying Burton Kaplan for years and this is one of his most profound quotes. We often times get caught, and wrapped up in what other people think and feel about us cause we would like for them to realize our importance, but this is not the way to live a powerful existence.

“You, me, everybody – we’re all subject to a basic fact of human nature; we all need to feel important and to feel that other people recognize our importance.  This means that when we deal with others, the temptation is always present to impress them.  RESIST IT. – Burton Kaplan

I have three reasons for you that you should resist the temptation of impressing other people. These are simple life truths that we should all take to heart, employ in our lives, and thrive as a result.

1. Not Being Your Genuine Self – Stop short changing the world by being like the multitude of people in this world that is unoriginal. You were created to be your magnificent self and by not doing so, you are actually cheating the world of your existence. How will anyone respect and appreciate you if you are never being yourself.
2. They Can See Right Through You – Give other people some credit. If you are not being your original self, it is going to come across that you are being fake. And the people that you are trying so desperately to impress is more than likely sharp enough to notice a fake when they see it. You will actually lose respect and admiration in the process.
3. You Can Still Earn Respect – Being yourself has gotten you this far in your life and remaining that way is going to take you where you desire to be. If you remain steadfast to who you are, continuously add value to the lives of people around you, and live a life of service, then you will not only impress those that you want to, but also others that you might not even realize is watching you.

At the end of the day, be you; cause that is the only one you have and it is the blessing that world needs.

Greetings Blog Family,

This may come as a surprise to some of you, but if you have seen my I’m Thinking episode when I talk about the failing public school system you will not be shocked. However, I cannot stand the public school system. It is faling us terribly. Now, I understand that it is necessary, so I am not advocating it’s demolition or even supporting school vouchers, but something needs to be done.

Instead of my typical bitching and moaning about the situation, I want to offer some practical, factual steps every parent can take to rid this problem in their homes. This video is dedicated to that aim.

Now, if you are one of these parents that just want to send their children off to day care, I mean public schools, close your eyes and wish for the best, then this might not be the best video for you. Because inside are some actual tips and goals that my wife and I have used to raised what most would call “intelligent” children.

For years it seems, our friends and family have urged us to tell them how we have managed to raise such sharp children in a sea of mediocrity. Well, it wasn’t easy, but now is the time to shed some light on our methods and ideology.

Enjoy the video!

Greetings Blog Family,

Today I want to talk to you about a great little analogy that I have come across and added some juice to as well. The phrase “Eat That Frog” comes from a book written by Brian Tracy where he claims that you should start your day by complete the biggest, most hairy, difficult goal that you have first. By doing this, you will make the rest of your to do list seem short, easy, and attainable. This will give you the momentum to continue through your day and dominate through achievement.

And achievement is the only way you can kill the crabs. You have surely heard of the phrase, Crabs in a barrel. Well, they say these crabs are always trying to hold you back from the achievement and success that you desire. Don’t let them hold you back and pay them no attention. Continue to thrive, achieve more everyday in your life.

Greetings, Blog Family.

Welcome to the very first episode of 3B TV. It stands for Business, Branding, and Blogging with Freddie Taylor. I am very excited to introduce this segment of my site to you. I have been working on it for some time now and feel like it should add an interesting element to my line up.

Yes! I said it, property values will remain stagnant for the next 35 years or more. I know this is contradictory to everything you have been hearing in the news and according to the experts, but take a moment to watch the video and hear my argument.

The best part of the argument is that I will lay it out for you step by step so that there will not be any guessing. All of my sources can be referenced, but they are based on my understanding of supply and demand.

I don’t doubt that many people might not like to hear this opinion or see it come true, but I feel it is very important because if you move forward making financial decisions based on wrong information it can be very dangerous to your financial well being.

Please, leave your comments, thoughts, and feelings at the bottom and let’s start a dialog.
