Ep#866: This Money Quote will change your perspective

And today, I'd like to share with you a quote from Claude Bristol who said, "Money is like food.

When you are filled with it, you don't think about it that often.

But if you are deprived of it, you are constantly worrying about it all the time." [laughs] Just like when you're well fed, right after that, you're not thinking about money, but you- you're thinking about food.

But you think about food when you're hungry, right? So the idea is simple.

The idea is to be having financial, not just independence, but financial freedom, not just for the sake of money, but so that you can focus on bigger things in life that you can do by using that money.

So here are three things you can use money for that can change your life forever.

[upbeat music] Number one, you can use money in order to get more skills in life.

No matter what skills you wanna learn, skills that can help you in your career, skills that can help you in your life, skills that can help you, you know, improve your leadership, you can do that by investing in yourself.

That's point number one.

[upbeat music] Second, you can use money to expand your contribution.

Now, the contribution can be paying for a lot of kids' schooling or education or food or creating, you know, um, giving shelter to people, creating medication system for people or giving access to medication for people or maybe paying for somebody's surgery or, you know, starting a school or donating for, uh, a pet house or for street dogs, doing something, right? You can do a lot of different things with money.

You can get creative about it.

But you can't do that if you, if you're hungry for money all the time.

So you have to be fed well internally first and from the place of abundance, you can create these opportunities for people.

[upbeat music] And the third thing you can do with money, which is very, very interesting, a lot of people do not talk about it, do not think about it, is you can use the money to create lifelong legacy.

Think about it.

One of your...

Like, it's not what you leave for your children, it's what you leave in your children.

And here are a couple of things you can do to create that lifelong legacy.

You can write, for example, a book.

You can become a great speaker and have your speeches, your TEDx Talk or whatever be available for people to watch.

You can create, like, systems for the formula to follow.

And guess what? It will require you to have lots of money and investing in there.

So these are the three things you can do.

Let's quickly review.
