Can stress kill you?
Last week I felt like I’d find out the hard way.
Let’s talk about habits and money.
We all have spending habits and saving habits.
Policy makers talk a lot about them. They’re all over the news.
But neither of those make you richer.
Have you noticed?
3104.
That’s the number on my locker. Wanna see it? Sure, here it is:
6 out of 7 days of the week I go to the library. None of the lockers belong to anyone by the way.
Anyone can choose whichever locker they want on any given day of the week. You come, you pick one, you go, you leave it open.
Then how come on all 6 days I get to use that same locker, again and again and again?
Why can I walk around and tell everyone with 100% confidence that that’s my locker, number 3104, Nik’s locker?

Then this is for you.
Are you having a tough time finding your passion?

Do you know those annual review posts household names publish every year?
Like Pat Flynn’s annual income report (I’m sure he cracked $1 million this year, go Pat!).
