We save it for a rainy day…
The love of it is the root of all evil…
Pink Floyd sang about it.
Bernie Madoff went to prison for it.
I like to think of it as a tool.
Money.
Take $100
Most of the time it transfers hands digitally.
John buys groceries
The supermarket pays its cashiers,
The cashiers buy gas to get back and forth from work
The gas station buys more gas.
It has to be trucked in.
It has to be refined,
It has to be drilled for.
Someone has to drill it.
That guy has a family to feed.
It’s back to the supermarket 10 states away.
All the way around the money gets taxed.
The taxes pay for police and fire departments, schools, garbage removal, highways and roads etc. Services that keep us safe, and things running smooth.
The salaries that the taxes pay keep the economy running smooth as well.
Teachers need supplies and books.
Police need uniforms, cars, and lights.
Firefighters need radios, trucks and hoses.
As you think of money as a tool to move society along, think about your relationship with money.
As business owners, you have to remember to have an abundance mindset… and learn to use your money as a tool to multiply… not to simply add or subtract.
Adopting this multiplication mindset – this mindset of abundance – will lead you towards a life of freedom.
Most business owners see the multiplication tools of marketing, hiring and retaining key employees, or buying faster more efficient equipment as line-item expenses vs dividend paying investments.
When seen as a line-item expense, any money coming out of the account = bad! Money staying in = good!
When money is used as a tool for investing, it can be used for laser-focused and brand-consistent marketing that returns in multiples.
A well trained and compensated employee grounded in an excellent culture with room to grow returns in multiples.
A tool that can automate, or make your process more efficient, can and will return in multiples.
Do you see how money can be used not only as a tool to add and subtract but also can be used as a tool to multiply?
When money is used to multiply, its dividend is time.
Time that can be reinvested into family, relationships, passion projects, and desires.
Interested in giving up trading time for money 1:1?
Interested in investing and multiplying to allow your money to create time?
I erroneously believed that in order to make more, I had to grind harder and be busy all the time.
That was until I burned out.
A panic attack in the middle of a busy workday that landed me in the ER completely changed my life.
I have spent the last several years learning the keys to living a life full of freedom.
Freedom to do what I want, when I want.
It is my passion to share these keys with other business owners and professionals.
I would love to connect to share these with you.
