“Once I make $X, then…”

‍

Do you find yourself fixated on a specific number?

‍

Do you believe that reaching it will bring everything together? If so, you're not alone.

‍

I used to track my year-over-year compensation obsessively, seeking validation. I sacrificed my health, family, and happiness to ensure that number increased.

‍

When I zoomed out, I realized my focus was on net worth.

‍

It's a common pitfall for corporate pros living the American Dream — we let net worth define our self-worth.

‍

‍

But what if I told you this pursuit is limiting…AND risky?

‍

Staying on this narrow, outdated path means doubling down on what you know, even if it makes you miserable. In doing so, You miss out on incredible opportunities — meaningful relationships, career transitions, and new business ventures. It also means you’re ignoring essential market dynamics, like the rise of chat GPT.

‍

This is unacceptable — for you and your family. Chasing that elusive number leads to disappointment. So, do this:

‍

Forget net worth.

‍

Instead, focus on creating value.

​

The shift to value creation

Make it your mission to generate value that excites you and aligns with your strengths. Your focus here is to become "1 of 1" in the eyes of those you aim to serve.

‍

This is how you free yourself from the constraints of your default path (one selected by a “kid” version of you).

‍

Embark on a journey deeper into your Zone of Genius. Fixate on who you can serve and how you can improve their lives.

‍

Good news: you can achieve this within a traditional employment structure, using it as a launching pad for better jobs.

‍

In addition, I urge almost everyone to build a side business because this unlocks exponential growth — personally and for your finances. Here, you create something that generates freedom, income, and impact.

‍

By shifting focus from “earning more” to “value creation,” you unlock a 10X better future.

‍

Moreover, prioritizing value creation improves your financial situation. It rapidly generates more wealth than accepting incremental 3% upgrades.

‍

So please, let go of the obsession with net worth.

​

Unlock from your default path

Please, let go of, “Once I make $X, then…”

‍

The sad truth is you’ll never reach that number anyway.

‍

Instead, embrace the idea of creating specific and meaningful value.

‍

I won’t lie — it takes significant work. But it’s so worth it.

​

‍So step up and commit to this journey.​

‍

Pursue ventures that excite you and align with your innate talents.

‍

Serve others with your superpowers and unlock a new future for yourself.
