MONEY Master the Game: 7 Simple Steps to Financial Freedom

It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.

A lot of people get put in leadership positions, and it drives me crazy because they don’t make decisions. They don’t want to make decisions; they would like somebody to do it for them.

It is only the first step that is difficult.

Money is nothing more than a reflection of your creativity, your capacity to focus, and your ability to add value and receive back.

In every area of life, you get what you tolerate. And it’s time to raise the standard.

Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.

• Make sure that wherever possible, you invest in a way that allows you to defer your taxes (401[k], IRA, annuity, defined benefit plan) so that you compound tax free and pay tax only at the time you sell the investment. Or set up a future tax-free environment by growing your investments in a Roth.
