Decluttering has always been a nightmare for me. Agonizing on what to throw away, donate, or keep all day long just creates a void. And the Universe hates a void. Instead, go find what you REALLY want, and you’ll notice that you AUTOMATICALLY start decluttering and getting rid of all of the stupid shit you’ve bought over the years! You’ll want to cherish and showcase the things that make you truly happy. 9. Upgrade Your Car For Fuck’s Sake. Last year I went to mul- tiple dealerships and test-drove about a bajillion Convertible Mustangs. But I couldn’t buy one. You see, I was homeless way back in the day. I lived out of my car for TWO YEARS. So when I looked at the Mustang, all I could think was, “What if I’m homeless again? There’s no way I can live in that – it’s too small!” Well, it’s a year later and I finally worked my way through that.

Anytime you make a purchase that you are not absolutely in love with, you WASTED money. When you start applying THAT to your purchases, your whole life will start changing. like hiring people to help me out in my life and business. We now have 7 people who regularly work for us including the cleaners who come to my home, lawn care people, my business assistant, and even pooper scoopers (yep, I’m really proud of that most recent hiring)! But you don’t start there. It was hard to hire the cleaners. It was hard to hire the lawn guy. It was excruciatingly difficult to hire and train my assistant. But these are all things that you can learn to do. And these are things you MUST learn to do if you want 40 to be your new Badass. 10. Start Making Small Changes Now and Work Your Way Up. This is the Truth of how I knew 40 was going to kick off my best years ever: Because I fucking said so.
