Wise Words.

“The time to reflect on your investing methods is when you are most successful, not when you are making the most mistakes.”

Sir John Templeton

The Italian Tune-Up.

Prior to technological advances...

..one way to restore engine performance in sports cars was to drive them at high speeds.

The thinking was that driving the car at a high load would burn off carbon deposits from the spark plugs.

This would help the car run at peak performance.

Italian mechanics came up with this approach in the 1950s and they called it the “Italian tune-up.”

Now ... imagine you owned a fine piece of Italian engineering like a Ferrari 296 GTB.

This car easily exceeds 200 miles per hour.

Now take it a step further and visualize driving that 8-speed dual-clutch masterpiece at only 35-miles-per-hour.

People would look at you like you were crazy while Pontiac Vibes and Chevy Bolts passed you by on the freeway.

Ferraris aren’t built for driving 35 mph.

They’re built for speed.

They’re at their best when shifting gears.

So are you.

You aren’t built for a “35 mph” lifestyle.

You aren’t here to coast with your work, your relationships, your health, or with pursuing your goals.

You’re here to shift gears to see what you’re capable of.

It’s hard to win when you’re living a 35-mph life with one foot always on the brakes.

The stakes are simply too high.

It’s time to go full throttle.
