One of my members put us onto this blog:

Adam’s attitude and determination were impressive. We often talk about how attitude is everything! Adam’s opinion on Barbara Enrenreich’s book, “Nickle and Dimed” were right on in my opinion as well. Barbara went into her project almost ready to fail and she knew that she could go back to her regular life at any time! Adam had no choice, no fallback life to go to. His attitude made the difference! His determination to make positive changes in his life made the difference.

As I write this, you can download his book for free (I saved it right to my computer). This might change down the road so grab it while you can!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Attitude makes all the difference! When we say we can’t do something, we’re setting ourselves up for failure. Yep, the road might not be easy but most good things don’t come easily. Paying off debt, improving your job skills with college, saving for a home or any other goal will only be met if you say, “I CAN!”
