Summary
I recently had the pleasure of sitting next to a kind and successful retired entrepreneur on a flight home, and he was nice enough to impart some wisdom with me that I want to share with you all today. There's a difference between being frugal in order to put yourself in a good situation and then continuing to be frugal when you don't have to be. At some point, you have to reward yourself. When you're motivated by tangible things, sometimes that's more powerful than being motivated by something that you can't really see, feel or touch. It's also important to resist the temptation of instant gratification and buy it when you can really afford it. Listen in to hear more of our conversation and how I have weaved this advice into my life.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Recognizing your success and rewarding yourself
- Why it's powerful to be motivated by tangible items
- The generous side effects of being successful
- How to determine when it's the right time to buy your dream item
