- Don’t hold out on the nicer things just for special occasions. You deserve special all the time. Give them to yourself.

- Give to the ones that show up. No more real estate to tenants that aren’t in escrow.
- If there is no return on your investment, it’s bankruptcy for the soul. Your time is worth gold.

- Don’t wait for it or them.
- Speak to and about yourself in a kinder manner.
