May Tip: Be Sound of Mind

This may sound like an obvious tip, but you’d probably be surprised how often people break it and to what degrees. Being sound of mind means keeping onto your judgment and knowing when to exercise it. It means always thinking with your head and not falling prey to temptation – like so many people did with mortgage loans they knew were bad, terribly financed credit card purchases and other excessive financing. Being successful or running a business require a lot of hard work and a lot of thought. Carefully consider each decision and make sure you’re making that decision off of sound logic, and not just the whimsy of temptations. Be sound of mind and you’ll be rewarded with smarter decisions.
