Why We Fail
Why We Fail By Craig Ballantyne, MS, CTT with Jason Klein, CTT It was another one of those days. Stuck in traffic, with places to be and people to see. I was running late for my workout, and beings I only allot so much time for each activity during the week, I ended up having…
Read MoreMy Near Death Experience
There I was, out on an innocent dog walk, when I came about 50 feet (or what felt like a lot less) from death. It was one of those weird “sunny-rainy-snowy-back-to-sunny” days that only April can deliver. Around 4 p.m. the weather seemed fine, and so it was time to walk old Bally the Dog…

How to Defeat the Cardio LIE By Craig Ballantyne, MS, CTT With Jason Klein, CTT Mile marker number 23 of the Disney World Marathon was where the magic happened. I had been a very serious endurance athlete until this strange turn of events. It somehow hit me all at once. The thought that cardio was…
Read MoreWorkout Equipment RANT
It’s the worst piece of equipment in the gym. But, it’s also the most popular. And I understand why. Listen, it’s not your fault that you use it. After all, it’s easy on your brain, and you like that because of your crazy, busy, stressful life. Heck, this piece of equipment let’s you turn OFF…
Read MoreMake A Promise
It was one of the best pieces of business-building wisdom that I had ever heard. Short and sweet, this advice should be followed by every business owner, both online and offline. We were sitting in one of the first Mastermind meetings that Bedros Keuilian and I had ever done together, and Bedros had brought in…
Read MoreUnique Upper Body Workout Twist
The planes, (turbulence) trains, and automobiles tour continues for me today. I’m leaving Denver and heading off to Stamford, CT, for 2 days. The day started with a 3am alarm so that I could get up and do my morning reading, meditation and a quick workout. I always exercise before a flight. No excuses! And because…

Does this sound familiar? You hit the ground running at 6 a.m. (almost literally) and you don’t stop until midnight. That’s the prototypical busy executive’s schedule these days. And it’s virtually all wrong. Up at 6 a.m., they drag themselves out of bed to hit the road for an hour of jogging. That’s followed with…
Read MoreHow to Make More Sales
Last year at our September Mastermind, my business and Mastermind partner, Bedros Keuilian taught our group an incredible system. It showed us how he got a ton of sales, and over 60% were from people that had NEVER, ever bought a product from him before, even though they had been on his list a long…
Read MoreMy 7 Step Success Formula
I just finished my morning meditation session. This marks the 87th day in a row that I’ve meditated for at least 10 minutes. I started meditating to bring more calm, focus and patience into my life. It wasn’t easy. I almost quit – several times – during the first few days in developing this new…
Read MoreHow To Create Killer Content
On Wednesday morning I delivered an hour-long, killer content presentation to our 1-day Mastermind members on how to write sales copy and get affiliates. That info will make them a TON of money over the next few years. I also gave them one big change to their mindset. The secret to success in today’s world…
Read MoreMeet the New Online Superstar
I’m a lucky man. In just a few minutes I’ll be off to San Diego for a week of Masterminding with dozens of online business superstars…including one woman that is about to have a MASSIVE breakthrough in her business this week. Her name is Shawna Kaminski. And all of her hard work over the last…
Read MoreMastermind and Connect
The worst part about travel is the trek home. You just want to BE home. You don’t want to have to go through all the “going”. And last Saturday in Orlando was a near-worst case scenario. Often when I attend seminars, you never really know if it will be worth staying until the end. This…
