I just bought my second Porsche at the age of 23 and the best bit of financial advice that I was ever given, actually had nothing to do with saving money. Now, before anyone jumps in the comments, yes, budgeting matters. Yes, cutting unnecessary expenses matters. But if you want to completely change your financial situation, there comes a point where you need to stop asking, how can I save an extra £100? And you need to start asking, how can I make another £10,000? Because there's only so much money you can save, but there's no limit to how much you can earn when you actually learn valuable skills. And the biggest shift in my life happened, the moment I stopped seeing investing in myself as losing money and started seeing it as buying knowledge that could pay me back over and over again. And every single level that I've reached in my business, has required another investment. I've invested in education, in mentors, coaches, software, branding. I've invested in people, and I've also invested in experiences that made me a better business owner. And every time I did, I learned something that has helped me grow even further. People will happily spend thousands a month on takeaways, new clothes, holidays, or things that lose value the second that they buy them, but ask them to invest in learning a skill could increase their earning potential and suddenly it's way too expensive. And that mindset is exactly what keeps people stuck, exactly where they are. But the people who actually move ahead in life, understand something different. Your income will almost always reflect the value that you can create. And that one mindset shift has changed my life more than anything else ever has.
