net worth on a regular basis. Count your money. A personal balance sheet. This affects how well
think and act. Write down your goals and check them often, helps you achieve. Written goals,
prioritised daily tasks. Information is not knowledge. Don't become an information junkie. Be very
practical, read for specific pragmatic purposes. Profit from information – what rate of return can you
expect? Deadlines to use for recommended actions. Make progress first. Information overload.
Overwhelmed by overload. You don't have to know it all. Do you have a desire to learn more? And
information junkie has no time left to act. Analysis paralysis. 80% 20%. Pareto's Law. Recognise it you
receive too much information.

Acting on your plan. Start making progress. Recognise low energy – motivation – limiting, debilitating
thoughts and replace them. Be grateful with the good things you have. Do something to give
yourself a change. Complete a worthwhile task, something useful that has value to you. Something
that is important to you, and do it well. Problems are draining your energy – don't ignore a slump,
act on it at once. Attack them in the beginning, recognise the symptoms.
Number six. Persuasive thinking – lazy thinking. 1. Figure out what want – think, prepare, goal list. 2.
Figure out what you can give others. More than just asking, satisfy desires of others. Explain
benefits. 3. Take time to consider the objections. List the objections. Find a good responses to them.
Objections – parts – responses. Ready, fire, aim. What effect will your words have on others, on us?
Think strategically, speak persuasively. Get out her abrupt – regain your passion for work. The
universe is a void, meaning must be created, let down of energy. Action/creation. Make yourself
happy with meaningful aspects of all aspects of your life.

the land mines where the weak are removed from the road and sent back to the land of
“most people.”

• For money to follow “Do what you love,” your love must solve a need and you must be
exceptional at it.
• “Do what you love” sets the stage for crowded marketplaces with depressed margins.
• When you have the financial resources, you can “do what you love” and not get paid for
• Slowlaners feed “do what you love” with “do what you hate.” Five days of hate for two
days of love.

• “Doing what you love” usually leads to the violation of the Commandment of Need.
• The right road for you is one that will converge with your dreams.

road weakens.
• Easy access roads carry more traffic. More traffic generates higher competition, and
