EP 105: Your Money Mindset Is F’ing up Your Wealth (Part 1)

How is your relationship with money?

…

Now, please

Don’t take that question lightly.

Stop and think about it for a second.

Because, if left unchecked,
Your relationship with money could be ruining your business and wealth.

Now…

There was a time when I was younger
(when I was still trying to become successful)

Where I would fly to Sydney to join business masterminds.

However, at the time, the way I thought about money and the decisions I was making were framed by my scarcity mindset.

So, before the event,

I would literally spend hours trying to:

– find the cheapest flights
– get the cheapest hotel room

Even to the point that one time
(brace yourself for this one… 🙈)

I reached out to someone that I hadn’t been in contact with for years…

To ask them if I could sleep on their couch while I attended the event.

😬

After awkwardly navigating the sleeping arrangements that I got myself into

And lying to people at the event about why I wasn’t staying at the hotel

I realised that I was travelling for almost 2 hours to get to the event each day

When instead,

I could have avoided lying and wasting time by just staying at the hotel

And, the real kicker is…

If I had chosen to stay at the hotel,

I would have had an extra 2 hours to network with the other business owners, which could have led to better results from the event.

So,

On the flight back home,

I couldn’t help but question myself about what the F$%K just happened.

I lied to people and went to great lengths to spend as little money as possible

So that I could get the best return on the money I was already spending

But in the end,

I ruined my own opportunity to get the most out of the event.

Luckily, I started addressing how I thought about money after that experience.

And looking back now, that flight back was the inflection point in my journey.

And, well, who knows, maybe this email could be yours too!

In this week’s podcast episode, Grant and I are discussing our relationship with money.

How it has affected our business, and how we changed our perspective so that we could make better decisions and continue to grow our businesses.
