Why It Pays to be Frugal in Life but Never in Business

If you know me, you know I’m fairly frugal. I don’t go clubbing, spend my time shopping, eat in expensive restaurants, or get takeaway very often.

However I do spend my money on a new car and Apple MacBook every 6 years or so. That’s not exactly that traditional picture of frugality. But go with me.

The truth of the matter is that I’ve never been shy about investing in my business. When I first got involved in online marketing, I invested $40,000 of my life savings into training, mentoring and getting fully positioned with a company.

It was scary and I regretted it for a minute or two in those early days. But I always knew that it had to be done that I had to make the ultimate investment in myself, my business and my future if I was going to live the life I knew was within my reach.

Investing in My Business, NOT My Next Hair Colouring …

Financial Advisor - Investment ProductsNow, looking back, I’m positive it was the right decision – that it was the only decision. I’ve kept that investment-first mentality since day one.

But for me, personally? Frugal, frugal, frugal.

Often I go out of my way to find a gas station that costs less per litre. On more than a few occasions, I went so far as to dying and cutting my own hair. I still do it sometimes because I admit that I hate spending money on my hair.

When I stayed in hotels, I’d always opt for the cheapest option available. Then I washed my own clothes in the bathtub or sink. If I could save a dollar I would, happily.

I attribute a lot of this frugality to my parents and my upbringing. I’m the eldest of two, and we grew up on acres with a large number of animals. That came with lots of chores.

From a very young age, my parents taught us the value of hard work and being responsible with our resources and our savings. These were some of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever learned and lessons I’m confident carry with me forever.

Embrace the Spend and the Success

Stop Money From Slipping Through Your Fingers

So back to you and what all of this means as you’re building your business…

My Advice is Simple: Spend Money.

Embrace that you’re spending money. I see too many Entrepreneurs who are too attached to their cash reserves when they first start out. I get it—they’re most likely frugal or just plain risk-averse, which keeps them taking chances. The reality? That mentality holds people back.

In the beginning, I was incredibly frugal, but when it came to investing in my business, I opened my wallet right up. I didn’t think twice about spending.

I wouldn’t spend extra for a professional hair cut and colour, but I’d spend $4,000 without batting an eye. Because you’re reading this article, I know you’ve properly already invested quite a bit in your business.

That’s great. I hope you’re digging in and learning, growing and evolving your mindset and your business best practices so you can gain that critical edge.

But the truth is, I can teach you everything there is to know about Facebook PPC, Email Marketing, etc. We are here to help you, let us guide you through building your Online Business – Just Private Message Us at our Facebook Messenger link.

But if you don’t go out, spend the money and do it, it doesn’t matter.

You’re going to have all of these great concepts and theories swirling around in your brain but nothing to show for it. The money comes when you invest and flip that switch. And it doesn’t come a moment before that.

If Money Slips Through Fingers… Try This Method!

“Beware of little expenses;
a small leak will sink a great ship.”
~ Benjamin Franklin

If money routinely slips through your fingers …

One of the best things you can do to forever change your financial situation, is to start categorizing your money as it flows into your life.

You put it into different categories, with very specific purposes.
The big mistake most people make in society and why most remain relatively poor their entire lives is because when money does show up, they give it no purpose, and they have no rules or discipline.

It might offend some people to hear me say this, but most people’s financial problems are not a result of them not making enough money.

They’re a result of them being poor money managers of what they have. For proof, just look at how the average lottery winner ends up: here.The Downsides of Winning the Lottery

Most end up broke or going bankrupt, because they’ve never been taught properly how to manage money, and they have poor financial habits.

A simple mistake most people make is putting all their new money into just one category; ‘the money I have available.’

Whether they need money for food, groceries, mortgage repayments, the kid’s tuition, the mechanics bill, etc. It doesn’t matter. The person reaches into their bank account and takes the money out when they perceive a need.

What they should do instead… is categorize their money as it flows into their life.

  • A % of their money goes to an account for everyday expenses.
  • A % goes into an account purely for savings, where there’s a penalty for each withdrawal.
  • A % of their money goes to an account for fun activities and holiday expenses.
  • Another % of their money goes to an account specifically for investments.

I gave my money a purpose. I set up different bank accounts for different purposes.

My main bank account was this saving /investing account.
My other bank account is my ‘everyday expenses’ bank account, and I starved that bank account. Rarely was there ever more than $200 in that account.

Till this day, I still do a variation of the same thing.

Are you where you want to be financially?
Do you feel like there has to be a better way of handling money?
Are you tired of dealing with student loan and credit card debt?
Do you want to invest but don’t know where to start?

Personal Finance Uni CourseIf you said yes to one or more of these questions then you are in luck. This AMAZING money management course will provide the answers to these questions and more.

Let’s be honest, when it comes to planning your finances it can seem like an extra chore at best.

Building a solid financial plan is built on uncertainty, fear and confusion in most cases.

In the end, these emotions make you want to avoid planning for your financial future and settle for a life less than. Financial literacy education is a life-long process and requires constant attention.

MAIN Difference Between Being ‘Well-Off’ vs. ‘Ultra-Wealthy’

,

“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
– Colin Powell

The difference between being ‘Well-Off vs. ‘Ultra-Wealthy’ is their … FOCUS!!!

There was a speaker that spoke on wealth. Who unfortunately is no longer with us. He said, “that you need TWO Businesses.”

Your PRIMARY Business, the one you’re likely putting all your focus on right now. And then your money management business.

Most people put 95% of their energy into their primary business.

If they want to make more money, they trade more time for money in their given profession. The accountant takes on more clients. The shop owner extends their trading hours. The mechanic fixes more cars.

They only put 5% of their energy into their 2nd business that manages their wealth. Which is often fairly PASSIVE. So you can even make money while you sleep!

For ultra wealthy people, it’s the other way around. 95% of their energy goes into their money management business – picking stocks, investing in real estate and checking their investments.

Only 5% of their energy goes towards their primary line of work. Master the same concept as the ultra wealthy and you’ll escape the hamster wheel sooner than you might expect.
