I don&#8217;t.  You probably don&#8217;t either.  Cutting expenses is smart to a point and often becomes a downward spiral to nothingness.  After a while, doing without causes eventually causes enough resentment to interfere with your ability to be productive.  In my opinion, settling for less kills your spirit. <\/p>\n<p>The solution is to expand your means.  This means growing your business.  This means growing as a person first.  You and I have a response-ability to do so.  Readers are leaders.  Lifelong learners are DOer&#8217;s.  Buy a book, learn from prospecting, and sharing what you have to offer.  Educate others about your product or service and squash your greatest competitor &#8211; ignorance.  You can DO it.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, the rich don&#8217;t work for money.
