Slicing Through Money's Mysteries
EQ vs IQ
EQ is more important than IQ. I don’t care how smart you are, if you are a weird selfish prick, you won’t get as far as someone who is less smart, but gets along with everybody.
In a previous post, I discussed how I was able to stay at a $2,000/night hotel for a week for free.
The travel hack didn’t involve writing a review about the hotel or using a gagillion credit card points. This travel hack has to do with building good relationships. Let me share some background.
I’m on a financial journey just like all of you. The only real difference may be that I record my thoughts and feelings about my progress publicly. I do my best to be as authentic as possible. By sharing what we know, we’re able to learn from others. I think we all have blind spots that need illuminating.
There’s one new observation I’ve learned since starting Financial Samurai in 2009 and leaving Corporate America in 2012 that I’d like to share with you. It’s a realization that lends weight to the power of positive thinking.
