These are a few ways we pay in our business. Everyone has the option to pay with them.

a. Pay Money
b. Pay with Time
c. Pay with Mistakes
d. Pay with slow to no growth (except mark to market appreciation)
e. Pay with losing clients
f. Pay with not acquiring ideal clients
g. Pay with acquiring loads of retail clients who you can’t profitably serve
h. Pay with Stress from an overload of non-ideal clients
i. Pay with doing non-essential things

j-z- There is a long list which we can all fill in, but I know you get the point.

What do you prefer paying with?

I prefer paying with my time, energy, and money. We all call this Investing.

It’s so ironic that we tell investors to invest for their future, yet we do not follow the same when it comes to the future of our business.

Thus, we pay with points (c) to (z).  

As always, the choice is yours. What do you want to continue paying with?
