My Biggest Regret? Not Making This Investment Sooner (And Why You Shouldn’t Wait Either)
Yesterday, I was sorting through my finances, and it was a classic scenario…
I saw the $2500 spent on a beach house in Mexico. It was my birthday trip, and I wanted an intimate celebration, so I invited a few close friends. And also because Nina loves fancy hotels! 😂
Then there was the Oura Ring (almost $450) that I got for my husband (very rare for him to tell me what he wants and also a RING?! So, this had to be done. 😉)
But between those purchases stood out a much larger sum – $4800 invested in a personal development coach ($220/hour for the sessions).
Now, this actually made me smile.
While I enjoy indulging in little luxuries and spoiling loved ones, the $4800 spent on myself felt different.
I wouldn’t call it spending – it was an investment. An investment in my future, my skill set, and my ability to create a better life for my family and me.
But lately, I’ve been seeing a VERY weird trend.
People seem to have developed this unhealthy relationship with money.
They’re hesitant to spend on things of REAL value, like personal development opportunities or experiences that enrich their lives.
They might see these investments as luxuries they can’t afford while not blinking twice when spending on random, fleeting whims.
But this mindset, particularly when it comes to personal growth, can be very detrimental in the long run.
While responsible budgeting and avoiding unnecessary expenses is good, demonizing ALL spending can backfire.
It can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage + stagnation where you miss out on opportunities for personal and professional growth simply because of the fear of spending.
In a world where materialistic stuff often seems more important than growing as a person, it’s super important to stop and think about what really matters.
True wealth isn’t about having a bunch of things; it’s about always working on becoming a better version of yourself and having experiences that really mean something to you. That actually pays back.
Think about it this way – would you rather spend $50 on a trendy top you might wear a few times or invest the same amount in a book or online course that could equip you with new skills and potentially lead to a higher-paying job or a career shift?
I bet half of the people I know would get that top in a flash. But the book or course – cue the skeptics…
I mean, I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t spent the time, money, and effort on building this skill that has now become the lifeblood of my business.
The only regret I have is NOT doing this sooner.
Yeah, we’ve all heard the cliched saying, “The mind is a powerful thing.”
But what happens when our own minds become trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage and negativity, hindering our financial success?
Could you be addicted to believing that you’re not WORTH the investment?
The truth is a poverty mindset (yes, that’s a term), also known as the scarcity mindset, can be a real hurdle on your path to financial well-being.
It’s not just about the money itself; it’s about a deeper set of beliefs and thought patterns that subconsciously hold us back from achieving our goals.
Think of it like a negative inner voice constantly whispering limitations and doubts – but ONLY when it comes to investing in things of REAL value. That’ll actually pay off.
It can stem from early childhood experiences, challenging times growing up, or even societal conditioning.
This voice convinces us of our inability to succeed, creates a comfort zone in financial struggle, and fosters a deep-seated belief that low self-worth is all we deserve.
Here’s what it looks like in our day-to-day lives…
- The constant feeling of “not being good enough” leads to procrastination, giving up easily, and undermining your own potential.
- The subconscious mind, used to the struggle, can perceive success as unfamiliar and scary, triggering self-sabotaging behaviors to avoid achieving it.
- We might subconsciously settle for financial hardship, believing it’s the norm and that anything better is unattainable.
The good news is that AWARENESS is the first step to breaking free.
By recognizing the signs, we can challenge our limiting beliefs and cultivate a growth mindset focused on abundance and possibility.
It’s about breaking free from the fear of spending and embracing the power of strategic investments that can actually change your life.
Remember, you are not your mindset. You can redo your story and build the financial future you deserve right NOW, in this very moment!
The answer is NOT to have everything figured out – but to make conscious efforts to build a better reality EVERY single day.
So, if you feel frustrated and trapped by your own mind, take back power into your own hands by a) acknowledging the situation, b) setting self-improvement goals (more like baby steps), c) visualizing your success, and last but not the least – making conscious strategic investments in the right direction.
And also splurging every once in a while.
The truth is – you can do BOTH things comfortably without ever worrying about your finances.
