Takeaways
You can win the first period and still lose the game.
It's not about the opening face-off; it's about how you play the full 60.
The rookie years are all about building your foundation, not chasing the scoreboard.
Get serious about retirement because it's closer than you think.
In your mid-career, you got to play smart because you're not defending and attacking at the same time.
You can't take huge risks, but you can't lose either.
When your defense is strong, you can go on offense with confidence.
PowerPlays change games. Extra income changes your finances.
Use your power plays to control the game, not just enjoy a quick rush.
Always plan for overtime.
