Three Reasons I Will Never Be Rich
Yesterday, I discussed Twelve Reasons I Will Be Rich. Today I’m going to look at the flip side and give you three things that are preventing me from being rich.
I’m Lazy - The was an obvious one, wasn’t it. People who know the online Lazy Man, would argue that I’m always commenting, participating in forums and Google Groups, etc. Offline Lazy Man is the complete opposite. I procrastinate getting going is the mental equivalent of climbing a mountain. This is the reason that everytime I get a great idea for a product or service, it […]
