- Strive for excellence in all things.
- Never sell yourself short.
- Be honest. A lie that gains business today will cost business tomorrow.
- Make as much as you can.
- Spend less than what you make.
- Don't believe in "get rich quick" schemes. Only suckers do... and get suckered every time.
- When others are buying, you should be selling, and vice versa. Never buy into a "hot" market -- that means prices have already gone up... and will soon come back down.
- Never believe people who talk about your potential. That's how mediocrity tries to make winners feel guilty. What you are doing right now is your potential. Keep it up.
- Never believe anyone who wants to make you feel bad for winning. There are always winners and losers. If you did your honest best and won, then it's not your fault they lost.
- Avoid carrying debt. Don't shop for the lowest price on a hot deal and then keep the balance on a card collecting interest. That makes no sense whatsoever.
- Tell the Joneses to shove it. Life is not a competition with other people, but with yourself. Pleasing other people is the surest way to make yourself unhappy.
- Avoid anything that will increase your insurance costs.
- Avoid anything that will increase your taxes and/or governmental fees/fines.
- Keep money saved away for a rainy day so you don't have to borrow from loan sharks when that rainy does comes (and it will).
- Buy only what you need, and buy things that will last.
- Always remember that a woman who loves you for your car/house/bank account/portfolio/trust fund/diamond ring you gave her/marriage ceremony of a lifetime/insert other material item here, don't love you.
- Enjoy!
