How to Lose

The only way to lose is to give up.

We can tell what kind of people we are by
what we do on the second and third attempts.

Never give up on anything worthwhile.

Opportunities in 2009

2009 is certainly a year of economic chaos.

Yet, it is also a time of incredible opportunities.

Always remember -

Wealth is never destroyed.

It just gets moved around.

Success comes to those who can weather the storm."

Shaping Your Future

By sunrise tomorrow, your actions of today
will have become part of your past.

Yet they will have already
begun to shape your future.

What actions can you choose or avoid
that will positively shape your future?

Exercise

The only exercise some people get is...

jumping to conclusions,

running down their friends,

side-stepping responsibility,

and pushing their luck.

Making Money

Half the trick to making money and
being in the flow is staying away
from the deals that don't work.

It's the deals you walk away from
that make you rich, as much as
the successful deals.
