Welcome to Word Wednesday. The word of the week is Time.
Time is the only real resource we have. Many people sell their time, trade time for money, and then use the money to provide for their needs and wants. The biggest difference between the poor and the wealthy is what they do with the time they've been given.
In Robert Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant, the left side, Employees and Self Employed, trade time directly for money. Some have improved their skills and made their time more valuable. The right side, Business Owners and Investors, spend time creating income streams, thus investing their time in streams of income instead of trading for money directly.
Do we waste time, spend time or invest time. How we handle the time we have determines how our life will play out. I encourage you to invest time wisely, spend time on what matters most and waste little time.
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
