Finaances – I”ve discovered that the stressors of life can distract you from acieving mastery. Setting a budget, paying off debt made a big difference.

I can take a class that I want, etc. I use “YOU NEED A BUDGET” which is an app as well as a system, but any of them would work.

It’s a lot harder to do it alone than with friends. Having friends to help and challenge you as well as support you makes this journey a lot easier and enjoyable
