It''s all about doing and acting instead of knowing how to do and act. It''s about changing constantly and surviving. When everybody looks at the ball, you need to look where the ball could be going. It''s not about thinking inside the box or thinking outside the box or thinking there is no box. If there''s nothing, you can start to think from zero. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." You must embrace change by acting in the face of it. You must define your experiences in the moment they happen and with purposeful action. You must take your knowledge and use it, for knowledge is power and power used repeatedly leads to exponential growth.

Everyday we are faced with the question "Do I spend and enjoy what I have earned today as part of my current lifestyle or do I save and invest the money so I can enjoy and spend it in the future?" The constant battle between immediate gratification and long-term financial security and future enjoyment. There are two ways to fill a bucket with holes in it.

It''s about greater efficiency and effectiveness not about giving up everything you enjoy. It''s about giving the tax department less (legally) and you and your family more.
