Can you hold off on making any big purchases or expensive commitments of any kind, even if you have the money?
There could be a few reasons for this.
Upon consideration, you could discover that you need something different than you think you need. Or, you may find that more and better options will become available.
You may even find out that you don't need anything at all - and it would be a disappointment to spend or splurge if you are only going to wind up regretting it.
Are you truly spending according to your top priorities? If you're not answering this question with precise certainty- you're not.
I know I’m a salesman and it sounds like I speak against my nature, but if you’re telling me that you want to become the elite version of you and you spend more money in entertainment, booze, drugs, clothes, restaurants and vacations then self-development tools, it’s hard for me to believe that this is your true intention.
If you’re business leader and owner and you're telling me that you want to attract loyal dream clients for life who would become raving fans of your brand, but instead of investing the time and resources to truly connect with them and offer them unique hospitality, you’re looking for a creative way to attract fresh leads through manipulative advertising…
If you’re a business leader and you’re telling me that you’re “people’s first” type, but never took the time to really get to know your employees and after talking to each one of them for 5 minutes I know more about their personal life, than you after 5 years of being their employer….
….And when you want to hire people - "You just need bodies, you'll train them" and they quit on you after a week or a month, because you chose NOT to invest in your dream team and what’s essential and necessary to them, as far as environment, tools and technology to help them develop, and become more efficient, but instead you invest in exotic cars and extravagant vacations or expensive country club subscriptions to flex your success.
No judgment here. You deserve your success! Success is a very lousy teacher.
You chose what success looks like to you.
But, if you’re not getting the results you ultimately wanted, take a look at what you’re spending your time and resources on.
Intentions are something we show through our actions, not through our words. Sometimes we repeatedly say what we want to see as far as culture, but we invest in the wrong things.
GIVE yourself an honest audit of what your vision is and see if you’re still investing all of your resources and time accordingly to GET the desired and ultimate results.
