Resources

Following is a list of products and websites I recommend in the area of personal growth, everything from tracking goals to getting healthier. I also include a list of resources to help you in the event you decide to start an online business, which I believe is one of the best ways to add an extra stream of income to your bank account.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I want to let you know that most of the links to products and services are affiliate links, meaning I will receive a commission when you click on the link and make a purchase.

In the spirit of helping you to become financially free, I ask you to please not purchase anything that will put you deeper into debt. Make sure it fits into your existing budget, or save up for it and then come back and purchase it when you can do so without it having a negative impact on your financial status.

Speaking of financial freedom…

Health

Dead people don’t fulfill their dreams. Anyone serious about living up to their full potential, or at least achieving some of their most important goals, must also be serious about keeping themselves as healthy as possible.

And with today’s culture of persistent environmental toxins and fake food, it’s not always easy to do. That’s why you MUST be serious about taking care of yourself if you want any chance of living a fulfilled life. Following are a few resources to help you with that objective.
