Inspired by investing legend Ray Dalio’s book Principles that I’m reading, I’ve begun drafting my own principles. Here is where I’m at:

Tony Robbins says ‘trade your expectations for appreciation and you have a new life’. I found this to be profound and really believe it. When you care to focus on it, you realize there is a great deal to appreciate. That things you’ve been expecting you may have been taking for granted. An insatiable appetite…

To find what is worth doing and do it well. To do it alongside people you trust and respect. You can’t make a good deal with a bad person. To persist in adversity when it inevitably arrives. To share your experience, which will encourage and inform others. Even if you don’t think it’s incredible or…
