“Money is like a mischievous cat; if you chase it around the neighborhood, it eludes you. It hides up a tree, behind the rose bush, or in the garden. However, if you ignore it and focus on what attracts the cat, it comes to you and sits in your lap.” - MJ DeMarco

When MJ said this, I was having trouble really comprehending and figuring out how to put this into words in my own head so I could fully understand it. I was asking myself "What does he mean 'if I ignore money and figure out what attracts it' that then I'll get it? How does wanting money cause it to elude me?" Of course I read the book and understood that giving value = money, but the quote was still confusing me - until I watched this video. This guy really explains how adding value = money. Maybe it was just me, but I think if I was confused, then others might be too, and this video should be able to help you.

Not a massive Alex Becker fan but he talks some sense.

I've lost my way a bit lately due to business growth pains meaning I lost the car, the "result" and whilst I know it's all for long term greatness I've been finding it hard to think about anything other than what I had, money, cars etc. Which has made everything really stressful and things don't appear to be going as well.

Time to get back to building the empire and thinking about how my business can be better than the next again!!
