Self Storage Tip 💡 💰

I wanted to share something that stopped me in my tracks whilst walking 

It was from Alex Hormozi’s Dad …. 

Yep, you read that correct, it wasn’t Alex … It was his Dad 

Anyway, this is what he said - 

“Rich people buy time 

Poor people buy stuff

Ambitious people buy skills 

Lazy people buy distraction”

Wowsers!

And yes, I said wowser’s 😂 

That is powerful 

Let’s break it down line for line -

“Rich people buy time”

This can be done multiple ways 

The main one for me is -

• We can hire in help, which buys back our time  👏

“Poor people buy stuff”

This can be a host of things 

What stands out to me is depreciating assets 

Like a car … Ahhh guilty 😫

“Ambitious people buy skills”

100% agree with this 

I pay a stupid amount for mentors, masterminds and consultants … 

And it’s unbelievably worth every penny 😊…

Just like my self storage secrets course 🤪

I think paying a mentor is the cheat code for business success 

“Lazy people buy distraction”

This would be a PS5 or Xbox 

Again, guilty as charged 🫣

The two lines that really stand out for me are -

“Rich people buy time”

I truly believe if someone else can do a task inside my business, I should not be doing it 

Remember, it’s the “Who, not the how” to do something 

“Ambitious people buy skills”

I couldn’t agree more with this one! 

I found it astounding the amount of people who are unwilling to invest in their knowledge and improvements 🤷‍♂️

The other 2 …. 

Well, they sound good … 

But, I’m as guilty as the next person 😝

I buy depreciating assets (I just bought a Range Rover Sport… no one tell Dan Bradbury 😂)

And I love a good distraction 😬
