This part is easy! Just do the exact opposite of the 12 financial traps:

1. Define what wealth means to you, exactly what will it take for you to feel wealthy. 

2. Lock that definition firmly in place. Don’t keep raising the bar. 

3. Make sure your definition is achievable. 

4. Create a plan that is achievable. 

5. Make it a must for you by listing the reasons you must be wealthy. 

6. Finalize your plan and work out the details. 

7. Follow through on your plan by taking immediate action toward its attainment. 

8. Make yourself responsible. Let experts coach you, but don’t abdicate your responsibility. 

9. Don’t give up when the going gets tough. 

10. Make your life a business, and expect a year-end profit. 

11. Don’t let other people’s emotions control or cause you to deviate from your asset allocation. 

12. Get good coaching.

Finally, remember that real wealth comes from an abundance in all areas: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. The real key to unlocking wealth is just one thing . . . gratitude. The moment you feel grateful is the moment you feel rich.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

One must gain mastery over self the person who is not master of himself can never be master of others. Lack of self-mastery is, of itself, the most destructive form of indefiniteness.

They pour into their stomachs both quantity and combinations of food which...

THE POWER OF COOPERATIVE ORGANIZED EFFORT

In Think and Grow Rich Hill writes: "If you pray for a thing, but have fear as you pray that you may not receive it, or that your prayer will not be acted upon by infinite intelligence, your prayer will have been in vain." THERE IS NO SUCH THING  AS A SELF-MADE MAN.  YOU WILL REACH YOUR GOALS  ONLY WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS.  -George Shinn  The three most important factors that enter into the process of organizing effort are Concentration, Cooperation, and coordination. We are living in an age of cooperative effort. Nearly all successful businesses are conducted under some form of Cooperation. The same is true in the field of industry and finance, as well as in the professional field. It is slowly becoming obvious that those who most efficiently apply the principle of cooperative effort survive longest, and that this principle applies from the lowest form of animal life to the highest form of human endeavor. Cooperation is the very foundation of...
