Clark’s 3 core principles
-Live on less than what you make through your entire life time – whenever possible.
Pay yourself first by saving for your future. That gives you power, control and freedom to make choices.
-Do what you love. This is NOT unattainable. Don’t be in a job you hate just for the paycheck.
-With the freedom you’ve established – as much as you can – Be of service to others.
This core principle leads to a better world and more joy for yourself as well.
