Many Popular Financial Advisors Don’t Have Kids

February 4, 2010

I am curious if life is made up of Either / Or choices or if it is truly possible to have life full of ANDs. I’d like to believe it is possible to keep adding ANDs to your life, yet I know that at some point your plate gets full and you have to take things off.

So, what do I mean by and AND life versus and OR life?

A recurring theme that I have heard and read from ALMOST ALL of the books on wealth and prosperity involve one consistent thought: Documenting and staying focused on your vision.
