Happy Free Thoughts Thursday, people.

I had a longer version of this newsletter typed out but it was full of fluff and I only wrote more because I felt like I should.

Below are the parts that matter without all the BS.

1 Thought From Me:

“There is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that’s less than the one you’re capable of living.” — Nelson Mandela

Most of us spend our lives trading time for money.

It's just as true for entrepreneurs as it is for employees.

And it makes sense—money is valuable.

But almost all of us would trade every penny we own for the opportunity to go back to a time when we were younger.

We may have different reasons for doing so but every reason can be boiled down to the fact that, like money, time is valuable.

However.

Unlike money, time is finite.

That's why we'd rather be young and broke than old and rich.

If we can accept that time = money, then we also have to accept that money = time.

Every digit in our bank account and dollar in our wallet represents a portion of our lives we'll never get back.

There's no magic formula to tell us we should spend X amount of time to make Y amount of money.

It's personal and depends on what we spend our time doing.

But if you want to know whether or not your current formula is working for you— look at your next paycheck, think about the time you traded for it, then ask yourself:

Was it worth it?

Hopefully the answer is yes.

But if the answer is no, then your next question is:

What has to change?

Live your life to the fullest,

Chris
