Most people spend a lot of time thinking about what they want. A better job. A bigger paycheck. More freedom. But very few people ever stop to calculate the cost of not getting it. Not next year…
So when I plan my, my week, meaning every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, basically the end of the week, and I usually try to wait until Sunday because I do things on Friday and Saturday that change the complexion of the following week.
Um, I need to grow and save my money and invest it properly, so there needs to be mechanics related to that.
I have appointments with some of you next Monday for coaching sessions and things of that nature.
The investments in what I do need to go into me first, which means that before I put a work-to-do down, my workouts go on the schedule, but my training, my studying, my career and, and skill development, uh, goes on my calendar first.
That's no different than the way that I would recommend you save money, which is you get paid and then you immediately draft off what you got paid on whatever day you get paid.
Some of it goes into your investment accounts or your savings accounts or wherever it goes, but it shouldn't be going out the window.
Yes, you're gonna have, you're gonna have things you need to pay for, like the mortgage and the roof over your house or whatever it is that you need to pay for, but you need to pay yourself first.
You pay yourself in money, you pay yourself in exercising, you pay yourself in studying and those kind of things, but most people don't do that.
