Paul Polman

The goals you set for yourself and the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategies are like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correct proportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: in this case financial success.

By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.
