Nothing new here I hear you say; but is this a moment to stop and think?
Carl Sandburg's words, "Time is the coin of life. Only you can determine how it is spent. Be careful lest other people spend it for you,”. Carl's words resound strongly in our world of hustle and bustle.
Imagine our time as a precious currency—every second, a coin. Are we investing it in our dreams, passions, and loved ones, or letting others dictate its use?
Take charge of your time! Prioritise what truly matters, set boundaries, and say no to distractions. By doing so, you ensure that your life's "coins" are spent on what brings you joy and fulfilment. Remember, we hold the power to shape our time ahead. Spend your time wisely!
Nothing new here I hear you say, but is this a moment to stop and think about are we effective and efficient in the value we get from our time?
In my profession, I dedicate significant time to working with clients and prospective clients, focusing on this crucial factor. Time, along with investments and financial planning, is ultimately about the journey in life. Achieving value for every coin invested, whether it be time or real currency, to accomplish and pursue what we value most is important to you and those who matter to you.
