Too many people create strong convictions and stick with them without ever challenging the idea. You must challenge your convictions if you want to grow. Here are three action poi...

I just talked with John Lee, self made millionaire, about how to he made his money. He thinks that you become a millionaire in your mind before you actually become a millionaire in the real world.
