... CONTINUED FROM COVER issues in these eight areas. Once you stop fighting against them and instead use your knowledge and understanding of them and of how the world works to your advantage, you will find more peace, growth, and prosperity in the long term. Here are the eight laws for life and business success that I’ve discovered over the years. 1. Neither life nor business is fair. 2. Make plans and have goals, but know that things will not always go according to plan and you won’t achieve all of your goals. 3. Everything changes. Everything will end. Don’t fool yourself by thinking otherwise. 4. There will be hard times. Be prepared for them, plan for the worst, and if you get knocked down, don’t give up — fight back. If you do that, good times are just around the corner. 5. The only person you can depend on 100% of the time is yourself. That may be good, bad, or indifferent. The good news is that it is 100% up to you which way it goes. 6. You have to constantly stay in front of the curve. You need to always be ready to out-think, out- work, and out-hustle everyone and anything life throws at you. 7.

want to react and take action, but in almost all situations, you will make a mistake if you respond and react to something emotionally. Slow down, take a breath, take a day or two if needed, and then respond. These eight laws of life and business are how you get ahead. They are the road map to making millions, being happy, and living a full life. They may seem simple, but I’ve found that most people don’t do the basics, which is why they don’t win. It’s not because they’re missing some secret of life and business that every other rich person is guarding jealously. It is easier for our egos to accept that we’re not as successful as we had hoped to be at this stage in our lives if it is someone else’s fault, but that would be inaccurate thinking and a violation of law number eight. As complicated as our world is, as different as 2020 has been, life, business, success, and happiness still boil down to doing the foundational things right — not to shiny objects or closely guarded secrets that only a few know.
