While some of the celebrities may be financially buoyant, the vast majority of them are really struggling to stay afloat. I know that nobody is excited paying taxes and so…
For many people, it is customary to set goals (or new year resolutions) at the beginning of every year. However only a few really pay attention to how their goals are set. It is true that setting goals doesn’t guarantee success but not setting any makes failure almost certain. Common goals include financial security or freedom, career growth, health & fitness, spiritual, education, family, vacation, self-development and so on.
