To be wealthy you must develop a burning desire for wealth and financial independence.
The foundation of confidence in virtually every field is preparation.
...decide for yourself what makes you truly happy and then organize your life around it. Write down your goals and make plans to achieve them.
Your life is the sum total of all your choices up to this present minute.
Structure your presentation so that you appeal to the different interests of the different decision-makers involved.
You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace.
