Are YOU ready to #ADDAZERO?
Today, shortly after 3.20pm (Local) I received an important package from Amazon! Inside the cardboard box, was a gift-wrapped bag, with a label that read: Congratulations Jay, you did it. The Universe! On further examination, I was able to discover the first printed copy of my new book: And I can't BEGIN to tell you how exciting that feels!

Have you had enough?
Last week, I was gifted a book to read by a friend in Wealth Management, called ENOUGH: What's YOUR number?It shares many examples as to how so many people are working hard, putting money away for when they retire, with little to no idea as to how much they actually need TO retire!

The cost of doing nothing
In 1876, the President of Western Union - William Orton, dismissed phones as a “toy” when Alexander Graham Bell offered to sell him the patent for $100,000. Orton wrote an internal memo stating, “The idea is idiotic on the face of it. Furthermore, why would any person want to use this ungainly and impractical device when he can send a messenger to the telegraph office and have a clear written message sent to any large city in the United States?” I start with that quote because it’s clear how … [Read more...] about The cost of doing nothing
