You Want to Save Time? Try Studying
"Fake it 'till you make it." We're always looking for shortcuts. I remember some of the kids in college constantly trying to get copies of the exams or arranging to cheat with others during the tests. They worked harder than those
Pick Up the Damn Check
No matter how successful you are, you still might possess a poverty/scarcity mentality. That means that you continue to look at everything as a cost instead of an investment. It means you've never been able to "shake" the original feelings
Snow Job
After egregious warnings about not to venture out, not to travel, and basically to hibernate because of the brutal storm coming, we wound up with ZERO snow. Nada. Nothing. Be careful to whom you listen, and don't even believe them completely.

In the event that I spent my days trying to uncover conspiracies that were directed against me, like all those people on Facebook, explaining why I’m not more successful and happier, I’d choose: Billing operations (most notably AT&T) which don’t
