#5amMesterScrum Lightning Talk 1,247 Live - Spend Money on Growth Opportunities and not just Entertainment (2-4-1 10X Tuesdays) - Today's topics: (1) Last week I was listening to the Alex Hormozi podcast and he asked, where are you spending your money?  Is it on education and growth opportunities or is it on stuff that does not help you reach your goals. For me spending money on a hoagie does not help me get into shape neither does spending it on a gaming subscription. It would be better to spend that money on an AI service and experiment for a month. A few weeks ago my son and I went to the last Eagles game and we probably saved about $120 to $200 on the ticket for the both of us.  In my mind I saved enough to pay for two month membership at an indoor batting cage that my son could use to improve his game in time for spring.
