“We all knew there was just one way to improve our odds for survival: train, train, train. Sometimes, if your training is properly intense it will kill you. More often -- much, much more often -- it will save your life.”

-- Richard Marcinko, author and former U.S. Navy SEAL Commander

The incomparable best-selling author, business trainer and former frogman par excellence is one tough customer bearing a lot of rock-solid wisdom. Here he tells us about the necessity to train as if your life depended on it, because in the world of military special operations, it literally does. Yet, training to manage your serious money is just as important. Whenever you do any paper trading, or whenever you test out someone’s theories on how to make money, be sure you do it as realistically as possible -- because when you think about it, your financial life literally could depend on it.

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