Duncan Nugget® #33: Turn a Pile of Garbage Into A Of Pot Gold

Duncan Nugget® #142: Meet Me Halfway

The Black Eyed Peas have a song out called “Meet Me Halfway”. It reminds me of a time, back in the day, when I saw a guy trying to pick up an attractive woman. She was 50-100 feet away. I guess she liked him because she stopped walking to listen. He asked her to come talk to him.

Her response? 

“Meet me half-way.”

You see Success walking by. She’s hot. She likes you. You want Success to be a part of your life, so you ask her to come talk to you.

Her response?

“Meet me half-way.”

Million-Dollar Question:
Are you waiting on success or 
moving towards success?

Duncan Nugget® #66: Black Eyes and Bruises

In the movie Fight Club (starring Ed Norton and Brad Pitt) it turns out that the star characters are alter egos.  (They) he has been traveling around the country starting underground fight clubs and literally beating himself up—black eyes and bruises.

That’s bonkers, right? Of course, you would never do anything like that, would you?

Not so fast…

On average, you say (or think) 150-300 words per minute to yourself. If you are like the average person, most of it is negative. You’re beating yourself up—black eyes and bruises.

You would be ready to rumble if people told you some of the things you tell yourself. Cut it out. This ain’t Fight Club.

Million Dollar Question: 
Aren’t you tired of giving yourself 
black eyes and bruises?

Duncan Nugget® #107: Rule Breakers Rule the World?

Have you ever noticed that many of the greatest people to ever walk the planet were rule-breakers? Rosa Parks, Ghandi, Frederick Douglass, Galileo, Muhammad Ali, Benjamin Franklin, Socrates, Joan of Arc…just to name a few.

Take a risk.

Take a stand.

Find a few rules to break. After all, the word “rule” doesn’t necessarily mean “right.”

HINT: Make sure you’re breaking the rules for a noble cause.

Duncan Nugget® #79: Are You Smart Enough to…?

You have to know what you know, know what you don’t know, and know the difference!

Million-Dollar Question: 
Are you smart enough to know 
how ignorant you are? 

[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #10: According to Your Attitude

Recently, I was dropping off some FedEx packages when I noticed a sign behind the counter:

“Prices are subject to change according to customer’s attitude.”

That’s a cute little sign with a big nugget of wisdom

“She’s hot…but her attitude sucks!”

“We like the work you do, but we’re gonna have to let you go. People don’t like you.”

“He’s got talent, but I ain’t dealing with that attitude. It ain’t worth it.”

The perceived value of what you have to offer is subject to change according to your attitude because your attitude is the ambassador of your personal brand.

And of course, your personal brand determines whether or not people want to do business with you or even associate with you in any shape, form, or fashion.

Million Dollar Question:
What would your paycheck look like
if you only got paid according to your attitude?

Duncan Nugget® #95: Health and Wellness

I once saw someone working out on the treadmill while she was reading a tabloid. The publication was three levels below the National Enquirer. The story that she was engrossed in was about Elvis and Bruce Lee being kidnapped by aliens.

How ironic is that? She was taking good care of her body, but cramming all of that garbage into her mind.

Eating healthy and thinking healthy go hand because the mind and body have inescapable effect on each other. Substances introduced to the body affect the mind; processes introduced to the mind affect the body.

Million-Dollar Question:
Are you eating AND thinking healthy?
