Things to start if you have not already….

Open a savings account. Put some money away every month. Never touch it. You have never heard anyone say they’ve saved too much money. 

Talk to your mother and father as much as possible. Do this even if it is difficult and even if they are. You seldom hear anyone say he or she regrets being close to their parents. 

Tip well. Tip often. Be friendly. Compliment friendliness. Generosity is a life-style. It’s a habit worth developing. It’s rare to hear people complain that they spent their lives being open-hearted and generous.

Open doors and opportunities for others. Alert others to possibilities. Do this even if it means they will get ahead of you (whatever that means). Be the shoulders someone else can trust and stand on. Very few successful people are afflicted by helping others to succeed. 

Refuse to talk about people who are not present to defend themselves or present their side of any story. This is, of course, unless you are lavishing someone with genuine compliments.

On a personal note….

I am deeply encouraged and flattered by the invitations I have received to speak at your church, school, or event in February. I know it is late notice but let me know via email if I may be of service to your cause.
