“Instead of ‘I want money,’ ask ‘What will it give me?'” Is it a sense of security or a sense of accomplishment? Then you’ll understand why you’re doing what you’re doing. ”

“What was it like in terms of your health, your physical, your mental, your relationships, your personal, your professional, your career, your finances, your happiness?

“Then come back three months before that.” What needed to happen? And repeat it for the previous three months until you return to this moment. Your life is now set for the next year. ”
