The whole purpose of money is as a tool to give you a better life. That's always been my mantra.

And if there's one area of my life that I've wanted to improve, it is my sleep. I have always been a

terrible sleeper, and it's had such a big impact on my health and occasionally my mood.

I recently started using eight sleep, and it has been wonderful. Truly one of the best investments

I've made in a while. Eight sleep is a mattress cover that heats and cools underneath you while you sleep, analyzing your sleep patterns to

find the right temperature and automatically adjusting throughout the night. It also gives you

tons of data the next morning showing your sleep patterns, where you can improve, and how much rest

you actually received. I love it. If you want to check out more and get up to $350 off, go to 8Sleep.com

My business that I use for my books and my speaking and whatnot is called Long-Term Words, LLC.

Now, the name of that is not very important.

Nobody sees it unless you're doing a talk with you or something.

But let me tell you the origin behind that name, why I pick that name, because it's relevant

to today's episode.

I've always wanted, at least the opportunity, that anything I write in a book or an article,

that it has at least a fighting chance to still be relevant 10, 20, even 50 years from now.

I only want to write about things that are timeless because I've never enjoyed as a reader

reading news that has an expiration date on it.

Like if this news article is not

going to be relevant a year from now, it shouldn't be relevant to me today. That's always

been my general philosophy. And I've wanted to do that with my own writing. Write things and

at least have a fighting chance for somebody to read and enjoy and maybe learn from many decades
