“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach our full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” ~Confucius Imagine that you have $10 in your bank account, but need $200 to keep your lights on. If you focus on the fact that you don’t have […]
When I mention Financial Gratitude, most people say, I’m thankful but… That’s when you know they missed it. The truth is, there is no but. It becomes very easy to get caught up in the day to day minutia and feelings that we should be doing something else or have more. Well theses are […]
