Dreamers’ Wealth of Wisdom
- The thing with the scarcity mindset is if you don’t acknowledge it and deal with it and recognize it, it can lead to even earning less money.
- Focus on delivering the best quality that you can so that you can command those prices.
- Once you’ve taken the time to do your research, just do it as opposed to waiting another year.
- I would rather try and fail than not try years down the road you wish you had.
- Spend money on the things that we care about, that add value to our lives.
- Short-term things should come after investing in your future and your retirement.
- The lack of long-term planning translates to putting too much emphasis on saving.
