Issue 452
Happy Friday!
Thank you for the fantastic response to the survey of Fifteen on Friday readers! My stats professor (Dr. Death as he was known at Wake Forest…) would be proud that I have a nthat will be representative within a decent confidence interval for the population set.
As you can surmise from the late delivery, the holidays are upon us. Fifteen on Friday will be either abbreviated or spotty from now until the New Year.

My Book:
When Anything is Possible – Wealth and the Art of Strategic Living
The book is about how we shift from focusing on the things we want to avoid, to the things we want to accomplish with our wealth. Doing so requires a person to articulate 3 key items – Wealth Structure, Wealth Identity and ultimately a Wealth Strategy. The book walks through each of these items in great depth, and guides the reader through a process to develop each.
