Episode notes
Daily Choices Define Character
- Daily small choices shape the person you become more than public positions or grand gestures.
- Character shows who you are in private and determines long-term destiny more than occasional successes.
Don't Co-Sign For Strangers
- Avoid co-signing or guaranteeing obligations for people you don't fully know.
- If you're trapped in such an agreement, relentlessly pursue release and do not rest until freed.
Relentlessly Exit Risky Commitments
- Do whatever it takes to free yourself from risky financial commitments you made.
- Text, call, and pester the person until they resolve the obligation or you are released.
