Kirk McDougall's 3 Rules of Income

These are my 3 Rules of Income.

So in keeping with that thought I once took up skiing. Now this story is really not about me or even that much about skiing so feel free to skip to the next paragraph. When I did learn to ski I took lessons and practiced on small hills in the city. It was 15 minutes up the hill and 30 seconds down. It took a long time to get little practice. After a while I was ready for the mountains and what I found was that it was half an hour up and half an hour down. I learned more about skiing on my first trip down the hill in the mountains than my entire practice time in the city. Who knew? Well... I guess every skier except for me and the people who told me to learn how to ski in the city.

Many skiers I talked to told me stories and one of the common threads was the one where they had a skiing a…
