I was sure it was this attitude that prevented p

11、eople from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival.

19、to find the fight way ahead. The pressure was terrible. To get the money from a venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children !
