Short-Term Validation Will Cost You

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love cars.

But I didn’t buy my first “fun” car until I was 11 years into business.

Most people do it backwards.

They make big purchases way too early…

The expensive car…

The big house…

The flashy vacation…

All so they can look successful before they’ve actually built something real.

That’s not the flex.

The real flex is building something so valuable…

That the impact speaks for itself.

Invest in your assets.

Invest in your business.

Invest in your systems.

Be smart enough not to do dumb shit that handicaps you financially.

I’m all for enjoying success every once in a while…

But don’t sacrifice your long-term future for short-term validation.

Anytime you want to “treat yourself”…

Think about the effect it has on the growth of your business.

Ask yourself if that decision moves you closer to where you want to be 10, 15, or 20 years from now.

If it doesn’t…

Don’t do it.
