    Hi everyone,

    Thought we could put together a few sayings that really get us going…

    I’ll go first..

    “In this world of abundance, it’s not lack of opportunity that holds you back…….
    it’s more likely to be lack of focus or committment”.

    Anyone got any others to share?

    If you want to be rich, you first need to have the characters of a rich man. A rich man is rich because he has the characters of being rich, only then he has unlimited money.
