Just from the title of P.Diddy’s hit song in the late 90s, "More Money, More Problems" is a revelation of someone who does not have the right attitude in having too much money. It is a shout out of an unbalanced life. In the first place, why are you yearning for success if that would be the case? What makes you say that if you’re rich you are successful? One should remember that in every increase in profits, big and ugly ‘frogs’ tag along. The more higher the raise, the higher the expectations are.

The more urgent it is, the bigger that ‘frog’ is. By eating the biggest ‘frog’ in your work life with focus and passion, you are disciplining yourself to get things done earlier as expected. By doing so, you become time efficient and productive at the same time. As a result, it’ll increase your profit noticeably and balance everything out.
