Most experts will talk about the basic principles we have outlined in our site.
Whether we gather the information from Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Harv Eker, or Napolean Hill, the core principles remain the same.
- Spend less than we make.
- Save 10% of our earnings
- Invest wisely in assets that go up in value
- Keep the tax man away as best we can
- Use the power of our mind to attract the things we want in life
- Set goals, plans, mission statements.

ACT.
Act now, however imperfectly.

Seek excellence, not perfection.

When we get right down to it, we all find a million excuses for putting off the most important thing that needs to be done.
Often, for the urgent, but less important reasons.
We get sidetracked, and then move on to another project, of equally inferior long term importance.

Why do we continually shoot ourselves in the foot?
Perhaps fear: of failure, of success.
Sway discusses this phenomenon of having blind spots. We can easily see and point out someone else’s; but we often cannot see our own.

Begin now, today.

Most important things I can do tomorrow:

Most important things to get done this week:

Keep pushing the envelope, moving beyond our limiting beliefs.
Do more if we can; but at least this much.

Whatever WE personally decide is important to our individual financial health. For the well-being of our nation, evidently different rules apply.
