Key Takeaways

Mindset on ROI:

• While saving is important, don’t cut corners on investments that help your business grow.

Growing Your Business:

• Early on, you might stick to a tight budget. But as your revenue increases, it’s time to level up your support—whether that’s your accountant, lawyer, or other professionals. Don’t be the “big fish” in a small pond.

Personal Money Matters:

• It’s smart to save a bit of each paycheck, but also invest in yourself. As your income grows, consider spending a little more on quality services or even better personal health choices like improved meal options or a gym that offers more than the basics.

The Hidden Costs of Being Too Cheap:

• Always choosing the lowest price might seem smart now, but it can lead to costly mistakes down the line. Sometimes, paying a little more up front saves you from expensive problems later.

When to Make a Change:

• If you’re constantly managing or fixing your service providers, that’s a sign it might be time to upgrade. The same goes for your health—if you’re feeling run down or low on energy, it might be time to invest in higher-quality options.
