The purpose of this book is to sell you on my theory of the universe. Which is: The only thing in life you have control over is yourself. And that you can’t make anything happen – but you can (greatly) increase the probability of that thing happening … by making yourself more “-able.” (The title of the book is pronounced as “a bull,” just like the cute little cartoon.)…

Years don’t make you wise. Wisdom has nothing to do with how much time has past and everything to do with how much intelligent reflection you did during that time. In the words of the wise philosopher, Indiana Jones, “It’s not the years – it’s the mileage.” LESSON LEARNED: If you want to be wise beyond your years, you need a game plan. Try this:1. Get direct experience any…

The word “prolific” comes from the Latin prolificus, which means, “to make offspring.” Which, if you think about it, is exactly what you do all day: Give birth to your creative brainchildren. The cool part is, the more prolific you are: The more profit you earn. The more love you spread. The more gravity you defy. The more legacy you leave. The more people you touch. The more purpose…

“He’ll eat almost anything, idea wise, or he’ll at least chew on it. What he swallows is another matter. That’s partly because the psychedelic springs from a common-sense filled, well-informed, experience-tempered and morally solid soul.” That’s how Rolling Stone described Robert Downy Jr. in a recent article.

“They don’t care if you’re good – they care if people come.” That’s how my friend Judson described the business of booking college comedy tours. It’s not about aptitude – it’s about attendance. It’s not about information – it’s about expectation. It’s not about getting laughs – it’s about filling seats. It’s not about the ability to perform – it’s about the capability to draw a crowd. THE BEST…

Although I started wearing a nametag in 2000, it wasn’t until 2005 that I officially got the nametag tattooed on my chest. Interestingly, that was also the same year my company started making money. Huh. Weird. I guess that’s what happens when you commit with both feet: The world doesn’t just pay attention – it pays dividends. And not just financially. Additionally, when you commit with both feet: You…

You don’t need more ideas. Especially because: Your body is tired. Your brain is overloaded. Your notebook is already full of new ideas. The tricky part is translating what you know into action. BECAUSE THE REALITY IS: You don’t need more intellectual capital – you need more executional velocity. Here’s how to convert what-you-now-know into what-you-will-do:1.
