“It’s not just what you do in a job or your business that will identify you as a success or a failure. Not having “date nights” or saying, “I love you” daily will put your marriage at risk of failure. Spending sixty-five hours a week at your job will put your emotional well-being at risk of failure. Eating Twinkies and Big Macs and not exercising will put your health at risk of failure. Financing a car or paying more than the equivalent of one month’s income in cash will put your financial health at risk of failure.”
