Week 5
Four weeks done! Good work! Keep going!
Last week you were given the tools to master a life art. You see, making money and having success in the financial markets is a science. Everyone can do it if they follow the right path. But mastering fulfillment is an art. Feeling joyous and happy detached and unconditional of your environment and surroundings. That is true happiness and once you master that, everything you want in your life will be in your reach. So keep at it and balance your E-D-S-O.
