Can you take it when the pressure is on?  How about when the pressure is financial? Let's talk about coping with money problems.

If you're interested in becoming successful in a material sense, you must be able to handle financial pressure. That means knowing how to give, receive, earn, spend, and save. Being broke is one kind of financial pressure, but if you think it ends when the money starts coming in, you are wrong. In fact, the more you earn, the more the pressure builds, and you need to be able to handle it.  

One book you may want to read is by George S. Clason called, "The Richest Man in Babylon" and it is all about how to handle and accumulate wealth. One of the things it teaches is to take 10 percent of all you earn up front and give it away. Then, take another 10 percent to reduce your debts, and a third 10 percent to build up capital to invest. That's right, what's left is 70%, and while many of us may say we couldn't live on that, most of us would be wrong. Furthermore, if we don't make this type of change, we will find ourselves on the same financial treadmill years from now, going nowhere.  

Think of it this way: If you do as well in the next ten years as you have in the last ten, where will you be? Does something need to change? If so, then what needs to change?  

Why not pick up a copy of "The Richest Man in Babylon" - try a used bookstore or your favorite online book retailer - and see how you feel after reading it. If nothing else, there is a good chance it will get your mental wheels turning.
