Operating a business requires the ability to sometimes make tough (uncomfortable) decisions.

Once again I apologize and I'll be sure not to call you again"The idea is they'll actually feel sorry for you if they see how uncomfortable you are and you'll find in some cases they'll try and make you feel better about it.  

You can't effectively invest with a long term strategy if you are personally in an uncomfortable financial situation.

But yeah they make me a little uncomfortable.

You'd have to take a bunch of salesmanship, negotiation and NLP seminars and ultimately you realize that a lot of these hucksters selling you their systems and info, when you boil it all down, are just teaching devious, hard sell routines which is not in your or the seller's best interest.

If you're going to have a large portfolio these are just routine expenses you'll be paying frequently.

How do you create a daily routine of actions to keep it up?

:) If you are happy and financially fine, why mess with it at the risk of making yourself uncomfortable.
