You can never solve a financial problem with money. The only way for you to have a larger net worth is for you to go within to see why you are going without.

At the end of your life, you cannot take a penny with you. So what is the object of money if you can't take it with you?

It's only when we give to ourselves as passionately as we give of ourselves that we create the life we want and deserve.

Writing is hard work, not magic. It begins with deciding why you are writing and whom you are writing for. What is your intent? What do you want the reader to get out of it? What do you want to get out of it. It's also about making a serious time commitment and getting the project done.

I'd rather make 50 percent of something than 100 percent of nothing.
