As a professional, understanding your relationship with money is essential. How we view money impacts the deals we make, the opportunities we pursue, and the things that we invest in. If you have a positive relationship with money, you have no fear of money. You seek out opportunities to grow your wealth, and money naturally comes to you. On the other hand, if you have a negative relationship with money, you fear money. You think money is bad, that you don’t deserve it, or you are scared to have too much of it.  The good news is that, with the right...

By practicing how to increase mindfulness and keeping our thoughts, words, and actions in...
