Hey there, thanks for reading this week’s Further!
I’m going to have to keep this intro short. Our live conference is this week, and I’m emceeing as well as doing the Day 2 opening keynote. The day after, I leave for 10 days in Hawaii, which should make me happy, but is currently adding to the stress.
Don’t ask me if I’m ready yet … I will be. 🙂
Meanwhile, we’ve got nine interesting resources for living your best life in this issue. The article referenced in the headline kicks off the Wealth section below, and it’s good stuff that’s worth your time — especially if you’re aiming to take things to the next level and wondering how to handle the “newbie effect.”
Enjoy!
Keep going-
