Being in business will completely numb you to money

Transcript

Being in business will completely numb you to money. I don't mean this in the sense that money doesn't matter. Money matters no matter what. But when you own a business, especially a seven figure business like mine, money just revolves through this door. It comes in, it goes out. It comes in, it goes out. And some weeks $40,000 maybe a lot. Some weeks $500 might be a lot. The point is, when it numbs you to money, it just becomes a tool. So sometimes you have an abundance of tools, sometimes you have a shortage of tools. You have to figure out how to use those tools that you need in your business. Just like anything else, whether it's your marketing, your sales, money is just another tool. And once you become a business owner, or you're in the business and making decisions, you just become numb to the amount of money of what it is, what the cheque may say or the amount that the cheque may be for.
