When you are working to build your wealth, don't fall for get rich quick schemes.

Instead focus on consistently taking small steps with the tried and true investing plan.

You don't need anything fancy.

Some people think they know what investments will do in the future.

But I've never seen anyone guess right consistently.

I've you don't know the future, be careful how you place bets on it.

Don't be afraid to face hard things head on.

Doing hard things will help you get better.

Doing hard things helps you grow.

You will encounter many problems in life.

Some will be because of your choices, but not all of them.

Overcoming the problems will require you to think differently.

If you stick with the same mindset that got you into the situation, won't help you get out of it.

The difference between putting in effort and forcing something can be hard to see.

For me, I think about it from the stand point of forcing it might break something.

Sometimes, putting the effort in means trying different paths to achieve my goals without breaking anything.

No matter what you want in life, you are going to have to work for it.

You can build the financial future you want and it will be much easier the sooner you start.

Today is the day to start building.

Be careful who you choose to work with.

It matters more than you might think.

Don't let a "great" deal push you into working with people that you don't really want in your life.

It won't be worth it in the end.

Hype and fear are not your friends.

Don't let either (or any emotion) drive your decisions.

Make a plan and stick with it unless facts arise that make you change course.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

When you have a meaningful goal, it's easier to stick with the plan when things are tough.

Know what you are working toward and why it's important.

Short term pain can make you feel like giving up, but when you keep the goal in focus, it can be easier to push through the pain.

There is nothing wrong with thinking through a decision, but nothing changes until you take action.

Don't let inaction keep you stuck in the same place.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Don't be fooled... money is a game.

That doesn't mean it isn't important.

If you want to win with money, you need to own assets.

If you don't own assets, you will never truly own your time or achieve financial freedom.

Learning is powerful.

Learning isn't limited to school.

You can learn through books, videos, classes, mentors, etc.

The more you learn, the more you realize what you don't know. Never stop learning.

What are you learning today?

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Ask yourself why you are trying to find approval from other people.

The sooner you realize trying to impress others doesn't matter, the sooner you can start working toward building the life you really want.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Every day you have the opportunity to take control of the day.

You won't manage it every day, but the more often you are in control, the more often you will be able to take control the next day.

Life is easier when you are running your day.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Who you let into your life and who you keep in your life matters.

You don't always get to pick the people in your life, but you have some control over who stays in your life.

Do your best to fill your life with people that will help you become the person you want to be.

I heard all my life about the importance of saving for my future, but they really mean is to invest for your future.

You have to save to have money to invest, but simply saving won't make you wealthy.

If you want to be wealthy, you have to invest.

The earlier the better.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Changing your future doesn't require dramatic change, but the more dramatic the change today, the sooner you'll see change in your life and the bigger the impact will be down the road.

You have more influence on your future than you think.

Action today will change your future.

Success looks exciting when you see it in others, but getting there is often pretty boring.

It really just takes doing basic steps consistently over time.

It isn't hard, but many people won't do it.

[Dividends Count @DividendsCount]

Wishing things were different won't make anything different.

You have to live in the world that actually exists.

When you take action based on how the world really works, instead of how they "should" be, you will be able to have an impact on your life that actually matters.

It's easy to take action when you have a sense of urgency.

The secret to consistent action is to set up automated processes so things still happen when the urgency wears off.
