Measuring the Cost

One of the things that struck me during this week's reading is what Gibson talks about having clear financial goals. When we identify clear and specific goals and create a plan to achieve them, we can better channel our energies and resources in a much more effective way. Another thing is the courage to be perseverant and resilient in the face of financial challenges, because they will certainly come at some point in our lives, and instead of giving up, it is a very good opportunity to learn from setbacks, learn lessons and adapt our financial strategies.

Another important point is how important it is to delve into financial education. Acquiring knowledge about personal finance and investment strategies is very important when making decisions. Since knowledge on this subject will make us make smarter decisions that will help us achieve greater autonomy.

The other thing that always strikes me week after week, is how the fact of being an entrepreneur, we run the risk of not knowing how to establish a balance between our work, family and personal life. Perhaps for everyone in the beginning, it is difficult to achieve that balance, because for an entrepreneur, starting a business is very similar to having a baby, at the beginning, it requires a lot of attention and long hours of care, however, over the years it becomes more self-sufficient and we can give it some freedom, but never leave it unattended. The same thing happens with the business, at the beginning, it takes a long time for it to be able to walk on its own, but once it does, it will be great to see how it continues to function even if we are not 100% on top of it.
