Most of - if not all people around me who truly "money made it" have paid a tremendous price in health, family or addictions. For myself - I'm very relaxed and not very stressed. What I would say to someone who actually listens is - relax - be strategic - manage your shit tight and think before putting significant effort into something - I mean really think.

Just like a good poker game - I fold my cards 80-85% of the times - sometime I bluff and other times I hope for a bit of luck.

This approach has worked wonders.

Think.
