“Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.”

--John Wayne

The wisdom here in The Duke’s proclamation is hard to argue with, but what I want you to realize is that courage is necessary in just about every important decision in life -- and, particularly, in the key financial decisions that we all must make. Whether it’s starting a new business, making key investments, changing financial advisors or any one of a plethora of crucial choices that we all have to make, being able to act in the face of fear is going to give you the confidence necessary to choose with conviction.

Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere.
