Transitional Thought Principles For Money

1) Short term - Your daily budget. This includes the next 30-120 days of spending or preparing for something.

2) Mid-term - Planning for one to three years of spending or saving.

3) Long-term - Thoughts and preparation for 10+ years down the road. I.e., retirement.

14:09 - Staying ready eliminates “feeling rushed” when working towards new opportunities. Develop an offensive mindset when dealing with money. Look for ways to dominate in gaining wealth.
