Make Money

• Too many of us have been fed the line that “work isn’t necessarily about making money.” Tell that to Visa next time they send you a bill.
• Don’t Grow, Change
  Be ready to change your work paradigm on a moment’s notice, to morph from career to career several times as conditions–and you–change.
• Take Charge
  In the twenty-first century, you must become proactive and start taking measured risks.
• Become a Mercenary
  Think for yourself as a free agent, responsible for your own security and always on the lookout for the next great job.
• Live Rich
  With Stephen Pollan’s revolutionary workplace ideals, as well as a detailed action plan, you can apply this philosophy to every facet of your life and truly Live Rich.
