Learn How To Stop Being P.O.O.R
By Wayne Kirby
It amazes me how many people who are not where they want to be financially,  just won’t do anything about it.  It’s like they suffer from the proverbial   “deer in the headlights“ syndrome.  They’re just frozen in not taking action and not knowing what to do.  It could be that maybe they’re a little scared.  Been burnt before.  Tried and failed.  That’s understandable… but really not a good excuse.
The word POOR actually serves as a great acronym that describes the reason for the condition – Passing Over Opportunity Repeatedly.

Welcome to this, Tuesday, December 17, 2013,, 11:00 pm episode of MONEY WADESWAY.
Tonight we are going to share with you the importance of you to “R.I.C.H.”  Notice I did not say “be RICH” I said “TO R.I.C.H.”  That is to: Realize It Can Happen (R.I.C.H.).  You see until you, yes you, Realize It Can Happen you will always either think, act or operate POOR-ly.  Which is to Pass Over Opportunity Repeatedly (POOR).
