When you choose to remain ignorant about how money really works, you are actually part of the problem. You can become part of the solution.

Jim Rohn once asked a simple question:
If you shared your current financial pIan with me would you be so excited about it you’d want me to go around the country and share it with everyone I met?

Whose plan did you buy?
Is it working?
If not, why?

“Emergencies”
Do you borrow on credit cards to handle them?

The map is not the territory.
Your financial plan (or map) is a guide. It’s not your life.

Quote:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson
