You can absolutely positively achieve (almost all of) your New Year’s resolution ideas, and I’ll show you how in a minute. Of course most of us don’t achieve our New Year resolutions – that’s why we renew them each year. Let’s look at some of the more popular promises we make ourselves, why we fail [...]
The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz – do you think of it as a book on psychology and money? While spiritual in nature, it’s a very practical guide to personal and financial freedom. If you haven’t read it, you should go out and get it today. You might think I’m completely nuts, but I think [...]
