The news from IWT: May 2015

You’ve heard me say it before. A Rich Life is about more than just money.

This month on the IWT blog, we covered how to travel more, painlessly save money, stay motivated, select the perfect TV show to watch, and raise your prices — all part of a Rich Life.

May was a busy month for IWT so today, I’m going to highlight some of the best posts in case you missed out.

Post of the month

Travel around the world (the math to actually make it happen)

With summer right around the corner and vacation on a lot of your minds, I asked “What’s your dream vacation?” Then, I did the math to show you exactly what it would take for you to have your a dream vacation (with examples) this year. This can be applied to ANY goal — check out the 150+ comments for examples of dreams becoming a reality.

On the personal front, here’s what I’ve been up to lately

I took a class on making Mad Men Cocktails:

Putting the finishing touches on my drink

Let’s just say I have a new respect for bartenders, and the drinks were awesome. Speaking of drinks, I got to meet up with Steve Kamb, the founder of NerdFitness, for a couple rounds in NYC.

Great to finally hang with Steve. Super nice dude, and a business hero of mine

And earlier this month, I wished a very special Happy Mother’s Day to my mom. After raising my siblings and me AND teaching elementary students, my mom will finally retire as a teacher this year. She’s earned it. And I’m thankful every day for what she’s taught me.

Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom, who taught us the value of hard work and never giving up. She and my dad got married 7 days after they met. When she moved to the United States, it was a whole new culture for her. She tells us that she always knew she wanted to raise successful children. And we saw how much work goes into it…like painstakingly teaching us to read, cooking multiple meals and doing multiple loads of laundry every day, packing lunches when we took family trips, and attending every soccer/tennis/karate/track event. After raising us for decades and teaching elementary students, my mom will finally retire as a teacher this year. She’s earned it. And I’m thankful every day for what she taught me. Questions to ask my mom: – How did you do it? – What should a new parent know? – Who was your best kid?

Just like my mom is proud of me, I’m proud of YOU, my students. A couple of of my Zero To Launch graduates, Felicia and Bushra were both recently featured in Business Insider here and here. Nicely done!
