Do you have a great idea but you're afraid that if you tell someone, they're going to steal it...
Well, as James tells us today there is no real way to protect your idea. But if you're more passionate about your idea than anyone else, then you can succeed.
Spend a few dollars and get your idea out there. Go to ODesk or Kickstarter and get some help getting your idea seen. For help with crowdfunding, check out our episode 170 with Clay Heber.
James and Claudia come up with a few ideas of their own.

Fri, 19 December 2014
Have you set your 2015 goals yet?
James doesn't make goals. Instead he tries to improve incrementally 1% better every day... spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Instead of goals, James sets themes.
Before you pull out that pad and pen, listen here.
And a thank you from our listener who asked the question in Episode #168: How Do You Get That Final 1% Finished?

Getting your movie produced through the traditional method is extremely difficult. But so is raising the money to do it yourself.
So James suggests you try both routes.
The cost of producing your own movie has gone way, way down.
Claudia suggests creating a short trailer and James chimes in with a few social media ideas to get producers to see it.
Try crowd funding...
And don't forget to start your next script now. |
Wed, 17 December 2014
Do you have a great idea for a product but have no idea how to raise the money to get it launched? Why not try crowdfunding?
Today James calls the expert, Clay Hebert and gives you all the tricks.
He says you need to act like the opposite of MacGyver (you'll have to listen to understand).
Build a landing page and pre-sell your idea weeks and even months before you launch your campaign. Build the excitement...
48 hours to launch...
24 hours to launch...
Don't miss out. The best deals are going fast!
Clay doesn't hold back, he tells James and Claudia all the best practices.
If you've ever thought about doing a crowdfunding campaign, then you have to listen to this episode of Ask Altucher |
Tue, 16 December 2014
Today we start off with a cooking class, not really.
Claudia asks James, how did you start your day today?
James says, "The key to success in life is what you do in the morning." Turn off your phone, laptop, and TV and go to bed early. Getting a good night sleep is critical to having a productive day.
Stress is so damaging to both your physical and mental body so take a moment in the morning to remember what you're grateful for. Just take a few minutes to reflect. It relaxes the anxiety we all feel daily.
Your morning ritual can decide your whole life. |
Mon, 15 December 2014
Getting that last 1% of your project finished is a problem so many of us experience.
James says it's a problem he has always had to deal with and can totally relate to. So here are a few tricks he uses to get that last 1% done.
Try these...
•Clean up the whole area around you. Clean up the table, clean up the entire room. This will give you the feeling of a fresh start.
•Next, list for yourself, even just in your head, why finishing this project will be good for other people. Remembering why you started this project will help you finish it.
•Lastly, picture in your mind what it will feel like when it's finally finished.
Go ahead, give these tricks a try, and let us know if they help.
Claudia then asks James what he's currently reading...

Fri, 12 December 2014
When is the right time and what message does that send?
That depends...
Do you want to have a relationship or are you just looking for a sexual partner? After you have sex, your relationship changes.
Do you have any rules in place -13 dates, 90 days? Do you hold to them?
Claudia and James are in rare form today.
Sit back and enjoy this episode.
If you have a question that you would like to ask James, you can either:

Or, text James at 203-512-2161. |
Thu, 11 December 2014
Do you believe in intuition or is it something else?
Intuition, that feeling that you know something even though you have no evidence to back that up, is how most people would define it...
Not James...
He believes intuition is really your super-computer, your brain subconsciously going through every variation possible and giving you a scientific answer.
It may feel spiritual but it's really just science. |
Wed, 10 December 2014
Podcasting can be extremely rewarding. And if you're willing to work hard, you can make a lot of money.
Today, James calls John Lee Dumas, the host of Entrepreneur on Fire, to ask him if he can help answer a question from one of James' Facebook followers. John's an expert at monetizing his podcast. Last month he grossed $307,504.50 and publishes his numbers here .
The question is "How do I approach or attract advertisers in order to monetize my niche podcast?"
You'll hear John and James share numerous ideas right off the top of their heads. Niches are great, you can focus with laser accuracy.
Your first step should be to contact podcast advertisers and prove to them that you can make them money. John tells you how to do this.
The most important thing is to get started... |
Tue, 9 December 2014
James recommends exercising your idea muscle daily. Pull out a piece of paper and write down 10 ideas every day.
Today one of our listeners asks – "Should I theme my ideas?"
James says yes, but that doesn't mean every day's list will be similar. He always comes up with a theme, like 10 book ideas or 10 business ideas. Sometimes the ideas are to just help him become a better person.
What themes are important to you? Give yourself permission to come up with bad ideas.
The most important thing is to just show up every day... |
Mon, 8 December 2014
Claudia talks with James about three major causes of back pain.
1.Back pain associated with genetics or an accident.
2.Sitting. We sit all day and it's not natural position for our spine. We slouch, our head goes forward, backwards or to the side and so we add neck pain to our back pain.
3.Psychological back pain caused by money problems.
Stand up, walk around, stretch back, breathe, and choose yourself. |
Fri, 5 December 2014
This show is really boring...
I'm just kidding, of course. Our question today was asked via a text message on James' phone.
How do I add value when my industry is insanely boring... like law?
James has a bunch of boring ideas to share with you... |
Thu, 4 December 2014
How do I get started with my new Internet business?
Today, James calls someone who has been influential in him building his own business, Buck Flogging.
Buck says, "Find a way to tap into the hard work that others have done in building their audiences and then find a way to get those people over to your site. They've done a lot of the hard work, so build good, strong, healthy relationships with them; you can get there a lot faster."
For too many people, the usual formula has been...
You keep writing and writing... praying someone will subscribe.
Instead, spend the bulk of your time off your website, not on your website. Drive these readers back to your website via a good landing page and create your most important tool using this shortcut.
Your e-mail list...

Wed, 3 December 2014
Make an outline, it will help. An outline will allow you to jump around and work on those areas that interest you at that moment.
If you go off on a tangent, well... tangents aren't really tangents. Allow your writing to go where it may. You'll fit it in later...
Or you won't.
Let it go, don't outline in a very strict way. Let your thoughts wander and fit them back into the book later.
It doesn't matter whether you want to write an e-book, paperback, or an audio book; James recommends you do all three. You'll look much more professional. |
Tue, 2 December 2014
Anxiety about dealing with future problems has two problems. It doesn't solve tomorrow's problems and it does drain your energy of right now.
Thinking about the future is important, but you can choose whether to worry about your problems or solve them now.
That decision is up to you. Worry and anxiety will not solve your problems.
Do the best things you can right now. |
Mon, 1 December 2014
James and Claudia talk about a real-life fight that they've recently had and walk you through how they dealt with it.
Being aware that you're angry is extremely important.
Emotions go in cycles. You can discuss the disagreement at the "peak" of it or you can wait for this anger cycle to wane. You still may be just as mad, but you'll be more rational |
Fri, 28 November 2014
James turns the tables today and surprises Claudia by asking her a question.
Claudia, an expert in Ashtanga Yoga, has traveled the world studying the minimal essentials needed to practice yoga.
So today you're going to get an expert's explanation of the essentials to the correct practice of yoga.
Posture, stretching, and breathing are critical. She walks James through five easy posses. You can follow along.
I promise you, your body will say thank you. |
Thu, 27 November 2014
Many of you know that James believes in giving your best ideas away. If these are really great ideas, ones you've worked really hard on, this often helps both you and who you give the idea to.
But how do you present these?...
You have to catch them in the first few sentences and offer up the value right away.
James tells the story of how this has worked for him.
Sure, a few may get stolen, but ideas are currency. You give them out and often many more come back in return. |
Wed, 26 November 2014
Bad habits, we all have them and we all want to break them.
But how far are you willing to go...
James and Claudia's special Ask Altucher guest, Maneesh Sethi, CEO of PAVLOKand Editor in Chief of Hack The System, took it to the extreme. He hired an assistant to slap him every time he got off task.
If there wasone thingyou could do, every day for a year, who would you become?
Change is hard.
We're held back by distractions, other people, and often ourselves.
But change isn't impossible. Choose your daily action, and PAVLOK will hold you accountable, ensuring lasting success.
Self-induced changes seem to work much better than those forced upon you by others.
James immediately comes up with two ways he's going to use PAVLOK to help him break his bad habits.
What started out as just a joke has quickly turned into a potentially huge business. |
Tue, 25 November 2014
Trends, they’re not that hard predict.
People are living longer so our and as such our population is aging. That’s a trend to keep your eyes on. Wal-Mart, CVS and Walgreens are putting clinics in their stores, No longer do you need to make an appointment to see your family doctor if you have a cold, sore throat Education and chemistry are two more.
Take out your waiters pad and write down what you see happening around you. These will probably be the new trends for The 21st Century |
Mon, 24 November 2014
Years ago, James wrote an article for CNBC and stated, “Apple will be the trillion- dollar market cap company”.
Everyone laughed…
But it looks like he’s going to be right.
And today he’ll give you his thoughts on the next trillion-dollar company.
The not yet public company, James believes this company will easily hit a trillion dollars in revenue because they solve a problem we all have; people who need something can connect with people who provide that something .
This company provides the logistics to make all this happen.
The company is…. Uber. They hook up those people who need something with those who can provide it.
Plus, Claudia thinks she knows the one right after that…
Listen here and see if you agree.

Fri, 21 November 2014
Choosing yourself doesn't mean you're not going to be working any longer. As a matter of fact, Claudia mentions that since she's chosen herself, she's never worked harder in her life.
What it does mean is you don't have to go through the gatekeepers to get things done.
A boss can't fire you, a publisher can't reject you, and no one can stop you from creating wealth and abundance.
Many people still think there's stability in the 9 to 6 job, but they're being fooled. There's much less stability when you're relying on someone else.
Go ahead, give it a try, choose yourself, don't worry about what any one else is doing, and see what happens... |
Thu, 20 November 2014
James and Claudia are just back from interviewing Tony Robbins live at his home in Palm Beach, FL and Claudia wants to know the Top 3 Things James took away from the interview.
· Lousy questions lead to lousy answers.
· Be a servant to many.
· The Tony Robbins Method.
James explains what these are, how important they really are, and why these rose to the top of his list. |
Wed, 19 November 2014
Today, we're mixing it up a bit. Robbie Abed, author of the book Fire Me I Beg You and CTO of Technori, pestered James for four years trying to pin him down to "have coffee together."
James thought he was going to call Robbie's bluff by saying, "Yeah, sure, just drive up to my town eighty miles north of Manhattan and meet me there at 12:10."
Well, Robbie called his bluff and showed up.
So James and Claudia invited Robbie back to their house, turned on the mics, and recorded today's Ask Altucher.
Robbie has about 250 "coffees" a year with people.
He has used these meetings to create a huge network of people helping people. He knows them all and he has used this to create a business-development company.
Relationships take a long time to build. It took Robbie four years to finally connect with James and I think this is going to lead to something much bigger. |
Tue, 18 November 2014
Everyone is allocated a certain amount of energy per day.
Today, James and Claudia talk about how you can "hack" your peak energy. This trick will help you be your most efficient.
For most people, about two to four hours after you wake up are your peak hours, but this is determined by your healthy practices. Healthy eating, getting a good night's sleep, and healthy breathing are very important.
Claudia and James talk about some breathing exercises she teaches. If you're interested in learning more from "The Master," click here.
Use your peak hours to take care of the most important work… the work you love.

Mon, 17 November 2014
Picking a great business partner is the most important decision you can make. Great partners are critical.
It's like a marriage. There's a contract and an obligation to spend a lot of time together.
Business life is intense...
You have to have good chemistry; you have to really trust the person or you're setting yourself up for failure.
In our second segment, James shares with Claudia his ideas about the big trends coming over the next century. |
Fri, 14 November 2014
Today's question is a tough one and it's from one of our listeners who texted in this question to 203-512-2161.
To paraphrase, his start-up failed, he was in a divorce, he was in a car accident and when he reported it to the police, his license was suspended because he hadn't paid a speeding ticket.
He's incredibly stressed and wondering how to deal with it.
As James recounts, almost the exact same thing has happen to him.
First off, you're not alone...
"Tomorrow is not dictated by yesterday, but tomorrow will be dictated by what you do today."
Take a deep breath, pause, and try to get healthy. Get a good night's sleep, start exercising, and be grateful.
Try to improve just 1% a day – the compounding effect with be amazing.
Then, James tells us what he read recently while he was traveling back and forth from his recent TedX talk in San Diego.
Here's James' latest reading list:
The Art of Stillness: Adventure in Going Nowhere by Pico Iyer
Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan
Everything is Bullshit: The greatest scams on Earth revealed by Priceonomics
The Laughing Monsters: A Novel by Denis Johnson
City of Thieves by David Benioff |
Thu, 13 November 2014
Luck... it has been written about for years. Today James tackles both sides... what is luck and why did this person ask this question?
Was Mark Cuban lucky? Who knows? But if you know the back story of Mark's rise to success you'll understand how much work went into his success.
When he made his first few million, he didn't quit. He leveraged his success and "got lucky" again.
And although he's a billionaire (a few times over), he still has not quit. Just tune into Shark Tank and you'll see why he has been so consistently "lucky." |
Wed, 12 November 2014
Have you created what you think is the next big idea, but you're afraid to tell anybody because you're afraid they'll steal your idea?
What should you do next?
Should you send it to LinkedIn, Google, or Zappos? And will they just steal it?
James says, "just send it to them." If they use it, that means your idea was good and it won't be the last good idea you ever have. But that's how you get in.
Give your ideas away for free. You'll be repaid a hundred times over. |
Tue, 11 November 2014
Are you an aspiring artist? Have you always wanted to be an actor, a director or a producer?
If so, what’s the best city to launch your career, N.Y., L.A?
Today James and Claudia discuss why neither of those are good choices.
Claudia offers great insight here. Asking what city should I start in is the wrong question. The right question should be, what scene should I shoot today.
Make the city come to you.
No matter what you’re aspiring to be…
The only good choice is to Choose Yourself

Fri, 7 November 2014
James and Claudia are relaxing in sunny San Diego today and decided to take the show outside to enjoy the weather and recharge.
If you've listened to James for a while now, you'll know that one of his keys is to keep healthy. He's practicing what he preaches.
Today's question is about being alone.
Yes, it's not an easy place to be, but no matter how bad it seems, there's hope. See if you can figure out how to help other people. Go volunteer, give ideas to others, become a go-giver.
Helping others will help you up off the floor. |
Thu, 6 November 2014
Today we’re doing something a bit different… James is has a question about an industry he really doesn’t know anything about—selling cars. So, he decides to call up the expert to learn more about his 10 step program to “closing the deal.” Enter, Leonard Kim, car salesman, author and Quora contributor. This show is longer than usual but we wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything. After listening we’d like your opinion. Do car salesman get a bad rap or are his sales techniques pretty much what you thought went on behind the scenes?

Wed, 5 November 2014
Warning… This episode is a bit explicit and may not be suitable for young children…
If you work for a company, there's a strong chance you don't have a good relationship with your boss.
James decides to put a different spin on this question. Instead of focusing on the problem, his advice is to do the opposite... You don't want to miss his counterintuitive perspective. |
Tue, 4 November 2014
A listener asks James how he can be more grateful. It all starts with the “Daily Practice.” James believes being grateful is like a muscle that needs to be flexed daily.
The critical component to becoming grateful is to stop complaining or comparing yourself to others.
Claudia adds to the conversation. She exercises her gratitude muscle by letting it compound itself throughout the day. |
Mon, 3 November 2014
Today's Ask Altucher is a difficult one. A listener asks James advice on whether or not he should leave his alcoholic wife and children.
James lays out a few options he thinks will help. He believes the first course of action to take is to temporarily remove him from the situation.
Claudia, on the other hand, has some strong advice for the listener based upon things she has been through in the past. You don't want to miss what Claudia has to say. |
Fri, 31 October 2014
Today's question is one you might be familiar with. A listener asks James for advice on how he can quit texting his ex-girlfriend.
James believes the first step is to focus on the "Daily Practice." By taking care of your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical self, you'll be able to calm the uncontrollable desire to stop a bad behavior.
Claudia also has a specific suggestion for this listener. It's one you might use if you find yourself in the same position as this listener.
You'll also hear James' three-step plan on how to break bad habits. |
Thu, 30 October 2014
Today's question comes from a text that was sent to James' cell phone, 203-512-2161. And it's one that James identifies with well.
A listener asks for advice on how to make new friends as an introvert.
James believes the first step is to break self-defining labels. He then presents a challenging exercise for anyone that's up for meeting strangers.
He also tells listeners a great place anyone can go to meet new people. |
Wed, 29 October 2014
Every week for an hour on Twitter, James hosts a Q&A where he answers any and all questions from his followers.
One of the most frequent questions James receives is, "How do I generate website traffic?"
Although James has mastered the art and science of generating traffic for his blog, he decides to answer this question by taking it one step further. On this episode of Ask Altucher, James invites a special guest who has "written the book" on how to create habit-forming products.
Tune in and you'll learn the true key to generating website traffic. |
Tue, 28 October 2014
Maybe you've been recently laid off or finally decided to quit your job to choose yourself… and now you need some cash quick.
Today, Claudia ask James, "You've just been fired from your job and you need $1,000 a week. Go."
Right off the top of his head, you can hear James create a business.
He and Claudia role play and she's tough on him, but he's on top of his game and fires back with great answers. |
Mon, 27 October 2014
Something that we need to keep in mind is that Ebola is a RARE and DEADLY disease.
But with the recent hype in the media and news stories about the few cases that have been diagnosed it’s hard to not get caught up in the panic.
Today, James and Claudia talk about the REAL concerns that we should be thinking about when it comes to Ebola.
If it turns out that you have a better chance at winning the lottery than getting Ebola then why are so many people worried about this virus?
Is there an agenda that we are not paying attention to? Maybe we should be more concerned with who is making money from Ebola news… |

What advice do he has for children? What do you do to encourage them to be creative and to have a live where they Choose Themselves. You can't just tell your kids to do something and expect them to do it. You have to show them. You have to lead by example. You have to be honest, authentic, fair but firm. You can try challenging your kids. Find those things that interest them and give them some tools to push these to the next level. Think of ways to do it when you're together, just hanging out. Make a game out of it.
James gives us a few examples. |
Fri, 19 September 2014
Claudia is about to jump into Ask Altucher and forgets the question. It’s too funny. How often have we all done this? I know I do it almost daily. Anyway…Lindsay emailed us a great question. “I want to change, but I don’t know what my passion is?” James jumps right in, questioning whether or not passion alone is enough to be successful. He suggests that you should rite down what interests you—no limits just start writing. The next step is to start combining these ideas and see what happens. Don’t be disappointed if you try one or two things that fail. The technique is to try 10 or 20. Just keep trying.
And in today’s Second Segment, James gives us some writing tips. He discusses how to utilize “the cliffhanger”. |
Thu, 18 September 2014
James interrupts Claudia from her daily yoga routine to bring you today's Ask Altucher question. On our sister show, The James Altucher Show, James interviewed Peter Thiel. It was one of James' best interviews, and if you've not listened to it yet, click here. Claudia asks James, "What's the one thing that Peter said that caused the biggest impression on you, the ONE thing" If you're going to start a business, something really new and innovative, then be 10 times better than your competitor. James takes this idea and expands it into everything you should do in your daily life. 20% better is not enough; you have to blow away the completion...
And in today's second segment, James tells us what makes for a great interview. You can learn a lot by practicing some of these techniques in whatever you do. |
Wed, 17 September 2014
Today James and Claudia host expert book promoter Michael Drew. While James is a huge proponent of self-publishing he wanted Michael to explain to you the other side of the story.
According to Michael, self published books, right or wrong will never make The New York Times bestselling book list. With an impressive track record, which he says includes “80 books out of 80 books onto national bestseller lists”, Michael Drew is THE authority on how to turn your book into a bestseller. He knows all the tricks and while you may not think they’re fair, they are what they are. “Creating a best seller is 90% knowledge, secrets and timing, and only about 10% great book. The crazy thing…very few people in the publishing industry understand that.”

The notion of a 9 to 5 carrying us into the safety of retirement is dead. But how can you quit the grind. How can you plan for your future? Today, James and Claudia talk about the steps you may need to put in place before you make the jump. You may have to work multiple jobs before you can feel secure enough to quit. That's OK, but you need to make sure you're healthy enough to work this hard. Plus, James gives a good rule of thumb as to when it's time to finally Choose Yourself. And in our new segment, James and Claudia discuss an idea that James has been thinking about. It's there for one of you to take and run with.

James has been known to give away his possessions to friends and acquaintances. Although they may be special objects to James, he seems to find others whom he feels would get more use or enjoyment out of them. Today, James and Claudia talk about different things that he has given away and why he finds freedom from the process. Plus, they introduce a new segment to Ask Altucher on business advice. And more specifically, they discuss a business idea that could help reduce student loans.

Choose Yourself is one of James' most successful books... but is the idea of choosing yourself actually a selfish concept? Today, James and Claudia discuss an email that was sent in from a listener who is concerned that by choosing herself she will be considered selfish. The problem is, if you aren't able to take care of your own well-being, you can't expect to care for or help anyone else. It may seem selfish on the surface, but choosing yourself is probably the most unselfish thing you can do. Here you will learn that when you start each day with James' daily practices you are not only creating positive energy for yourself but you are also making yourself available to others.
Also, on today's second segment, James turns the table and asks Claudia a question about an area that she is an expert in. |

Do you make lists to manage your time? Do you feel that you are usually disappointed when you are not able to cross off each item? Today, James and Claudia talk about their thoughts on "To-Do" lists. Something that James considers more efficient is to actually make an "I did" list instead. Could this be a new strategy that will improve your productivity with daily activities? When you make a list of things to do you are really only procrastinating. To delay may mean to forget... Here you will learn how to avoid disappointment and increase daily accomplishments.
And if you're up for it... James challenges listeners to create an "I did" list for the next 45 days. |
