How do you stack up versus these?
Which one really stands out for you personally?
Action Item:
- Pick one of these to improve, focus on it, and really master it. Then, move on to the next one that you can improve. You will be wealthy if you act and think like the wealthy!
Love it. This is so powerful and inspiring! Pretty much every single one of these is something I’d like to do more of in my life, but this just tells me to be proactive and make it happen. Definitely sharing.
Thanks, @TimothyMoser:disqus. I appreciate the comment and support. There were a few that surprised me here, but that means they are areas of improvement for me as well!
First become wealthy by acting like the wealthy, then we will be completely wealthy… but not before. Does that make sense?
Best,
Austin
