My subconscious is screaming "spending 2k on a tattoo when you haven't even launched your business is the worst thing you can do".
If you invested that $2K in an index fund and waited 50 years it will be worth $12,000! (Never mind that the same tattoo would now also cost $12,000!)
My subconscious is screaming "spending 2k on a tattoo when you haven't even launched your business is the worst thing you can do". I've read a quote on a thread that says "there are those who have a lot of money and those who spend a lot of money, but you rarely find people who have both the traits", and it made me think. The rich people we see today rarely lived lavishly in the beginning. I think the key here is strategizing smartly. It's a chess game. Sacrificing one piece for the big win is all that matters. In the end it's a battle within ourselves. There's no one else stopping us from achieving our goals. It's us. If we can control ourselves and take smart actions, we'll eventually get rewarded in the long-term.
Yes, reward yourself. Question is, why are you rewarding yourself when you haven't even launched your business? Reward yourself after your first sale, or your first evidence of a productocracy. I talk about this in The Great Rat Race Escape , The Gold Star Strategy ... however REWARDS must be commensurate with an actual achievement. I worked 10 hours today on my non-operational business! is not a reason for a reward.
