Before you can spend every day on the beach while you sit back and watch your money grow (you better believe that will happen) – at some point you’re going to have to get a little bit of work done. You know by now that I’m all about challenging you to think differently, and this…
Back in my early 20s, I totally sucked at getting things done. It wasn’t until grad school when I was juggling a growing small business, a part-time MBA schedule, and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life, that I really started to understand the value of note taking, lists, and…
