Plan Your Journey
"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”. Abraham Lincoln
The best way to be successful on your entrepreneurial journey is to consult books and mentors. Books and mentors will give your business the competitive edge simply because most people do very little planning. Books and mentors will also help you get to where you want to go quicker. Look at it this way, if you need to travel somewhere you hadn’t been before you would look at a map. You would also speak to people who have travelled to this unknown destination and you would ask them what to keep in mind, what the quickest route is and what to avoid.

Book #11
A Happy Pocket Full of Money
This book that will help you rethink how to see money and your whole existence! The aim of the author is primarily to get you thinking in a completely new way about time, money, life and your goals.
A Happy Pocket Full of Money has a very different outlook and so I would suggest just taking what you can from the main themes and if the metaphysical stuff goes too far over your head…don’t worry! That being said, there are some very powerful mindsets you can get from this book and we think it is well worth the investment!
