About the Author
family ? Your home , your passions , your values ? Your legacy is the mark you have made on the world and the ideals that have steered you through life . Your own unique personal economy will help to ensure they inherit the legacy you have worked hard to build over a lifetime – or what you are beginning to build and plan for now at the beginning of your career .
5 . WORK Work is the fuel behind everything in your personal economy . It allows you to support your family , delve into your passions , provide new experiences , and it can also enable you to create your dream home . In a world that ’ s constantly changing , how does work define us ?
6 . EXPERIENCES Our experiences are highly personal , giving context and meaning to our increasingly complicated lives . Experience can allow us to further our careers , create memories to treasure from the perfect holiday to unforgettable moments with friends and family . The link between our life experience and well-being is worth investing in as work-life balance is becoming more important to a healthy lifestyle .
7 . LIVING From our commute to work and the tiny rituals we perform throughout the day , to the evening ’ s chance to relax and reflect , going about our ‘ dayto-day ’ lives is the most elusive element of our personal economy , yet it represents the vital glue of our daily existence . How we choose to live can determine our health , our outlook , and our success . Living is as essential as breathing .
“ Those who think better are better at developing their personal economy .”
Your personal economic growth is a deliberate intention .
Waiting until the economies of the world start to cave in on you is not the time to be looking for a plan . You must be proactive and prepared . Get working on yourself , developing your mind and thinking skills . There is no sustained personal economic growth without a sustained growth in thinking skills . Your outer life is directly linked to your inner life . The world around you – that ’ s the world of your personal circumstances – is purely a reflection of what you have done or failed to do with your mind .
So … what are you going to do now to change your course and your personal economy in 2017 ? That ’ s your challenge !
