James Altucher is always writing and speaking about how success is correlated to a daily ritual that includes each of the following exercises:
- Physical – Exercise. Stay in shape, be fit, be strong.
- Emotional – Never spend time with people that suck your energy. Never do anything that drains your energy.
- Mental – Think of 20 new ideas every day. Read books. Do crossword puzzles. Keep your brain sharp.
- Spiritual – Pray, meditate, be grateful, study spiritual texts. You don’t need to be religious to be spiritual. Calm your mind, be reflective.
Add one extra: Look after your financial health.
Chasing the first four areas will probably result in financial health anyway, but why take a chance?
Take responsibility for your personal finances. Stay out of debt. Diversify your assets. Live a frugal life.
You can’t take risk if you’re worried about money.
You can’t be an entrepreneur if you can’t take risk.
Entrepreneurs look after their financial health.
