Continuing Education

Why is it that we'll spend hours planning a vacation or a party, but we won't invest some time each day or week in making ourselves a little smarter? How many of the adults out there have read "Harry Potter" or "The DaVinci Code"? How many of you are reading "Promises in Death" or "The Associate" right now? OK - now when was the last time you picked up and actually read any kind of financial self-help book?

We are quick to complain that we are not making enough money, we're stuck in a dead-end job or we can't seem to make ends meet. Immerse yourself in reading. By constantly educating ourselves, we become aware of opportunities that others might miss.

If I spend my days, absorbed in my favorite sports team, then I will view my world from that perspective. I will eat, breathe, sleep and dream in that context. But if I decide that I will obsessively immerse myself in self-improvement and financial education. I will become keenly aware of the world that most effects my finances and how to better myself. "Lucky Breaks" and opportunities will present themselves. Luck is when opportunity knocks and you answer.

Are you going to miss a free money machine marching behind you because you were too caught up in that fantasy novel or bases loaded and a man at bat? We choose our futures.

Choose yours!
