Andrew Griffiths has made the comment:

“If the Global Financial Crisis hasn’t made you realise that self worth is much more important than net worth, then you missed the point.”

This fits well with the Immigrant story I read the other day:

“Dad I don’t understand how you run this store. You keep your accounts payable in a cigar box, your accounts receivables are on the spindle and your cash is in the register. You never know what your profit is.”

“Son, when I arrived in this land, all I owned was a pair of pants I was wearing. Today your sister is an art teacher, your brother is a doctor and you are a CPA. Your mother and I own the house, the car and this store. Add up and subtract the pants and there’s my profit.”

My challenge for August is to look at your present situation and determine what you do, what your real value is and follow a path that realises your net worth.

Aim to be worthy in August and in life…….Mario
