I think the key, Tom, is the proactive approach. You can’t just think everything is great and not do anything. But studies show that people who are more positive — in life and about money — are more likely to take action. And that includes learning about how money works, and making it work for them.

Positive thinking is not enough, you need to understand money and how it works.
Your positive thinking is living a lie, because if you think that a positive mindset will allow you to enjoy the work you do, or the money you make, sooner or later it will come back to hunt you.

Money should be a by product of the value your provide. Also, doing what you love should be the priority not making money.

I love the positive, proactive, motivational vibe of this post. Taking action and working to improve our situations is a major component of success in all arenas of life. Personal finance is no different. Thanks for the encouragement and wisdom. It’s especially prudent in these current times, yet is timeless in how it can benefit individuals and businesses.
