We’re always being bombarded with comments like, “manifest what you want,” “know what you want,” “aim high.”  But how come no one’s telling us how to actually get there?

What’s the bleeding point of setting goals if I can never achieve them.  All that really leads to is disappointment piled on top of more disappointment.

Yes, having it all can be difficult, tiring, and scary but it doesn’t have to be and it really shouldn’t be.

Editor’s Note: John Assaraf is one of the experts featured in the hit book and film, The Secret. He overcame a turbulent lifestyle as a teenager and has since started 4 multimillion dollar companies.

So I got pretty lucky when I found out that I would be doing an interview with John Assaraf.  Yes, the John Assaraf of ‘The Secret’ and from Oprah.  Seriously, when do we ever get to peek into the mind of one of the greatest entrepreneurs and career gurus out there.

In this interview, John talks about everything from starting a billion dollar company, raising two brilliant kids (who are already making a steady income and even donating to charity), and how if you just take 5–7 minutes out of your day, you can turn your life around and actually make goal-setting worth it.

For those who have seen the interview, I would appreciate some feedback.  What did you think of it?  What did you learn?  And how are you achieving your goals?

If you’re even just a little bit interested, you should check out the interview »
