How to Overcome Yourself
Take away:
The concept of making growth decisions versus comfortable decisions is crucial in personal and professional development. Being willing to embrace discomfort and make choices that lead to growth, even in small increments, can lead to substantial progress over time.
Money Learnings:
Benjamin Owen learned from his family that money was often associated with negativity, such as greed and hard work. There was a perception that one had to work hard to earn money and that wealth was equated with conflict and stress in the household. Despite the financial challenges, his family prioritized love and resourcefulness, creating a deep understanding of the value of love and family. As he grew older and entered the workforce, he recognized the need to redefine his relationship with money and shift from a mindset of hard work to understanding the principles of wealth and money creation. He also learned the importance of dissociating the idea that money has to be hard-earned and exploring the concept of creating wealth in other ways.
