Time and money are not related

So you want to open a business. You think a business could solve all of your problems. It will probably be the start of even bigger problems. But that's a story for a different day.

What are you looking for?
Time or money?

They are not related to each other.

Time is a finite resource. It's like oil. There's only so much of it. Once it's used up, it's gone forever. Money is not.  Money is like the sun. It's not always around when we need it, but we need it to survive in this world.

Money gives us time back. It's not about the fancy cars, warm vacations and cavernous homes. We on the search for time.

Time gives us freedom, and flexibility.

Chances are if you're starting out in business,  you can't have both in the beginning. You have to earn the right to have both.

Better question is what are you willing to sacrifice to get what you're looking for?

You will have to sacrifice a lot of time and some money to get there.

How does that make sense? You have to gamble both to get hopefully one of them back in abundance?

It's simple math. Every investor knows that. Invest money wisely and through compounded interest, you get more money back in the long run. Time plays by the same rules.

Do you respect time? Most don't.

If you do, it respects you back.

Money doesn't respect anything. Don't worship it. It's like the pretty girl who dates the head banging crack smoking loser. It doesn't make sense but the less attention you pay to her, the more she's attracted to you.

That which we chase eludes us. Let money chase you so you can get your time back.

Invest your time wisely. It's the only thing that matters.
