Can Daily Habits Really Make You Happier and More Successful?
The short answer: Yes.
2012
I was going nowhere. No surprise, because I had no plans. I was living day by day crossing my fingers and hoping everything will going to be all right. Usually it wasn’t.
Our financial situation was stable. Both I and my wife had jobs. We paid our bills and credits on time and I was even able to save about 4.5% of our income. So, it took about two years to save one salary. It didn’t look like the best formula for getting wealthy.
I was frustrated, because I was not stupid. No matter how much I anesthetized myself with entertainment I realized, that my life is going nowhere. It was a constant struggle to keep our expanses at bay. We couldn’t afford good vacations, we couldn’t afford renovation of our apartment, and we couldn’t afford a new car.
I was also slightly overweight, miserable in my day job and extremely shy.
2019
I lost, and kept, weight.
I overcame my shyness.
Almost every month, I get money from several sources: my Amazon book sales, my eBook sales from Draft2Digital, audiobook sales, coaching, affiliate sales and my book advertising business.
