Are Skewed Spending Priorities One of the Things Holding You Back From Reaching Your Life Goals?
“Time is money” and “It takes money to make money.” are saying we have all heard yet what does this even mean? Between theory and practice is a world of difference. Logic is often missing from people’s reasoning around spending.
People will agree to these quotes yet do the exact opposite by acting as if their time is free, spending hours, months, and even years struggling alone or with a stop-go approach instead of investing in themselves and their dreams and in the meantime, overspending on things they don’t need.
I have been told by an individual he couldn’t afford to hire a coach, yet he was driving around a leased BMW all the while struggling with his business. I have been told by a client that a $15 per month service was expensive when this product can make them thousands monthly in a couple of months’ time. We overconsume on things that don’t matter, refuse to pay for things that will help us, then complain our dreams are unattainable.
Time to face the reality. In this article, I’ll talk about how winners don’t fall into the spending trap and instead, how they invest in themselves first. Keep your priorities straight and you are destined to win.
