Action Principles

Pick one to do this week:

1. Have dinner table conversations. As a family, the tradition of eating dinner together at the table teaches invaluable conversational skills. ACTION: Create a routine of sitting down with loved ones at dinner and having great conversations.
2. Take calculated risks. Risks, when done carefully, can lead to great success. ACTION: Calculate the risks of a project you’ve been considering, and if it seems like the pros outweigh the cons, go for it.
3. Surround yourself with successful people. The knowledge and motivation of being around those who have achieved great things in life are invaluable. ACTION: Invite someone you admire to lunch and strike up a conversation with them.
4. Plan for financial well-being. Take responsibility for your finances and invest wisely. ACTION: Sit down with a financial advisor and educate yourself on which options fit your needs best, then take action on it.
