As relevant as it has always been …

– I believe that no one quite understands that freedom of choice comes from control first, then money second –   control rules work, play, income, priorities ….  control.  Have discipline.

So the question becomes “ to what end?”  or  “What do you want in the end”

Right there you begin the control process, write the plan down and execute, work as you go and prioritize, do not make any decisions without the end in mind.
