On Forming New Habits

I've read "Women and Money" by Suze Orman up to chapter 5.  Chapter 5 is the first part of her five month plan to get you on top of your financial matters.  So what comes before she finally has us dig in and start shaping up our finances?   The groundwork: us!  Here's my summary of Suze Orman's book up to this point.

Chapters 1 and 2- A summary on women and the "dysfunctional relationship" we have with our money.  Yes, I thought that being happily married made me immune to dysfunctional relationships but I guess not. I am guilty!

Chapters 3 and 4- These chapters deal with the emotional traps we can find ourselves in.  She also shares her own compelling story and stresses the "need" for women to face financial matters now, so they can get them in order before they have to deal with them on account of situations later.

Chapter 5- This is where I would like to focus.  It's about BECOMING a women of wealth.  She stresses 8 qualities that we need to develop if we are to be wealthy individuals.  I must define wealth here.  Wealth in the sense of having a high quality of life.  Having "x" amount of money, as we all know, will not solve our problems and bring joy and happiness.  We need to have "arrived" already and then it will help us to do more.
This chapter is all about becoming the women we were meant to become.  To do this requires us to change.  I know, change can be hard.  Here are a few resources that I've read that have really helped me to develop new habits and believe that I can become an amazing person.

"Flaxen Threads" by Carlos E. Asay.  An awesome speech on habits and how to form new ones.
