What you think does matter

You wiil be Surprised! You would be surprise how some people make money. I thought that that is was strange when first I read about it but apparently it is true – honest. It seems that in my desire to teach my kids about how money and the world works – in my attempt to teach them that success ( financially speaking ) can be achieved in many different ways, I run into more and more – simply put: weird stories. Imagine if you will: your child tells you that they can do something or that they are average. So you try to teach them with real world experiences of how people can be successful in life and it can be done by being different.
