You have stumbled onto a podcast called Get Your FILL, Financial Independence, Long Life where we look for solutions to achieve both of those goals. Episode number one was the Intro show where we explain the format and how it’s all gonna work.

This is episode number two, so let’s start right off with Move-it Monday. And what I’d like you to do is you if you’re sitting – and if this is safe to do, like say you’re sitting on the train or in your desk, or you’re at a meeting, or you should not be listening to podcasts in a meeting, but if you’re driving and you could put on cruise control maybe – just sit up really straight, and lift your feet off the floor like an inch, just really a really small amount if this hurts your back or anything, just do one foot at a time, but basically you wanna put your hand on your stomach and make sure that this motion that you’re sitting up straight, you’re lifting your feet up a teeny bit, is making your stomach get flatter. If you lift your feet up too far your stomach can stick out, and that’s obviously not what we are trying to train our muscles to do.

So this is a super exercise. You can do it in a meeting and you’re bored and you’re just like, “Oh my God, will this person ever stop talking? – you can just like, “Oh I’m gonna do some lift-ups and just lift your feet up just a tiny bit. Literally no more than an inch off the ground and keep your hand on your stomach just to make sure that’s flattening out.

Okay, and that is our Move-it Monday exercise. Now TAGR Tuesday, as we work our way through the week, TAGR is Think and Grow Rich, which is the book by Napoleon Hill, that so many people have cited as their inspiration, as their Bible, for achieving financial independence.

If you don’t know much about Napoleon Hill. Actually, I was gonna start with something else, but let’s just talk a little bit about Napoleon Hill.

He, as a young man, was given a challenge, I guess you could call it, by Andrew Carnegie, who wanted him to spend basically the next 20 years of his life interviewing the top leaders of corporate America and political leadership and Andrew Carnegie’s contribution was that he would give Napoleon Hill access to these people, but he would not pay Napoleon Hill, he had to do it all on his own initiative, and on his own dime, and he did. He said, “Okay I’m gonna take up that challenge. And he spent 20 maybe almost 25 years of his life just talking to people and asking them basically the same question, what is the secret to your success? What do you feel is a reproducible method of success that you can share with other people? And then he put all that into a book, he turned it into the 13 principles of success and he also has some principles of failure, things you can do it wrong.

But he took those success principles, and he turned it into a book, and named it Think and Grow Rich.

I’m gonna put a link on the website to the book, the one that I use, which is actually a really nice version, ’cause it has some forwards it has some prefaces and it also has a bunch of notes, a bunch of end notes from Napoleon Hill, a lot of it from other works by Napoleon Hill. And then some other folks just commenting on the impact of this book in their lives, including people like Bill Gates, who happen to have obviously, a crap-load
