Things to do........





Don’t try to read other people’s minds

.
Get 8 hours of sleep several nights per week
.
Stick to your budget
.
Start saving and investing every week, no matter how little you can spare
.
Balance your checkbook
.
Don’t try to be friends with everyone. Cultivate closer relationships with fewer people
.
Don’t try to do business with everyone. Identify your target client and take very good care of them
.
Before getting angry, ask yourself if it will really matter in 20 years
.

.
Don’t drink alcohol when you’re tired, sad or mad
.

.
Throw out clothes that are in disrepair, and can’t be mended
