On Today's Episode: Money allows you to cover your basic needs and it also gives you the ability to have new experiences and do really cool sh*t. No it doesn’t buy happiness, but not having the money you need to cover basics in life can make you feel really miserable.
In this money talk with Tom, we’re going to look at habits you have around money, both good and bad, and we’re going to help you find the path forward to what your version of financial success looks like. Your money habits, what you focus on, the story you have around money and your financial literacy are all important factors.
Let’s get you in the right mindset to:
Break away from the Time for Money tradeoff we’ve adopted
Start seeing money as potential to solve problems that allow you to earn more
Build habits that allow you to grow wealth
