One thing that is so frustrating about making any amount of money as an entrepreneur is the discipline of spending. I'm the first to adamantly preach about keeping money in your pocket. Forget the name brands, the flash, flair, the nights drinking at the bars, etc.. I'm all about self investment and investing in whatever the current project is. At least 85% of spare money strategically goes to positive growth.
Every now and then, I do treat myself, if business is going well, I've been hustling consistently, I'll gift myself. Sure. But how do you approach your spending?
My fancy new drone flew over the Savannah river this morning and lost connection, then proceeded to accelerate into the clouds and disappeared. I immediately thought of how many ads I could have ran. I feel decently guilty, although I knew that this was a possibility the day I purchased it.
The thing that confuses me is that, If my financial circumstances were different, I would have thrown a fit. But I can't bring myself to be angry about the loss of the drone– it's just material right? But on another hand, I feel irresponsible and neglectful to my business. What would potential investors (there are none) think if they see me sailing off big cash into the sky and shrugging when I could have invested in the business?
In short– the issue seems that, the more money I have at a time, I almost become easier going about losses. For example, I'd love to be just as frugal with $1,000,000 in my pocket as I am with $100. I hate that I could only shrug my shoulders as a mortgage payment flew off into the abyss this morning. It's just material right? Too many feel good self help books?
Whoever finds the drone will find an SD card full of the most beautiful aerial shots in history -.-
