  • 2 Things We Cannot Teach Employees: Judgment and Personality Development
    We can teach people a lot of things, but there are two things we cannot teach people, potential hires or employees—judgment and personality development.

  • Before You Interview, Learn and Practice Ed's "Zip a Lip" Theory
    My best advice to clients about to interview for a job is to treat the interview like an IRS audit.

  • Want a Six-Figure Income Without Getting a College Degree of Any Kind? Here Is How
    I have a client making $350,000 a year with a high school diploma. I have another client making $144,000 who is a high school graduate with two additional years of technical training. A third client is making $250,000 with a high school diploma only.
