The title of today’s episode is a bit misleading, in that we won’t be giving you the actual rules for which to live a rich life. Why’s that, you ask? It’s really about creating your OWN rules, because if you don’t do this, others will for you, or you’ll live by their rules. Living a rich life means transcending surviving and going into a place of thriving, and we’re going to help you start to do just that!
