There is a saying that goes something like this: The person you are today is a direct by-product of the books you read and the people you hang out with. If you are not where you want to be in life, it might be time to upgrade your friends. Take this simple quiz to see"

1. Are your friends generally on time for get-togethers?
2. Are any of your friends on the road to financial independence?
3. Do you have any friends who own their own business (or have aspirations to do so)?
4. Would you ever consider trading lives with any of your friends?
5. Are your friends "happy"?
6. Do any of your friends have clear goals they are working towards?

If you answered "no" to most of those questions, the time has come to stop hanging out with people who have less going for them than you do. Think about your goals, dreams and aspirations; make new friends who can support you in those. If you have plans to own your own business, befriend a business owner. If you dream of financial independence, find some like-minded individuals to add to your circle.

No one says you have to ditch our old friends, just make room for the new ones. nnn

Quit Inflicting “BUT” on Yourself!

While I was waiting for my dance class to start, I watched an instructor patiently coach a couple through what was obviously one of their first lessons. The instructor was having them do a “box step,” which is what it sounds like. A “box” made with your feet. It consists of two parts, a forward half box and a backward half box. Each half box has three steps: a step forward or backward, a step to the side, and a step to close the feet together. The instructor was counting out
