The Ultimate Cheat Code for Success: Buy Back Your Time
I’m probably wrong about this, but I’ve come to realize something that’s transformed my life, my business, and how I view the world around me. Time and time again, it seems like everything in life is a tradeoff. Let me explain. Life’s Tradeoffs: Every day, we’re presented with choices that force us to prioritize certain things over others. Whether we recognize it or not, these tradeoffs shape our personal and professional lives: 1. I can either do Muay Thai every Saturday and miss my son’s soccer games, or I can watch my son play soccer and skip training. 2. I can choose to get a job that requires commuting daily, leaving me with less time to work out, or I can work remotely and have more freedom to prioritize my fitness. 3. I can spend an hour cleaning my car myself, or I can pay my friend Jimmy, who comes to my house and takes care of it for me. These examples might seem trivial, but they illustrate a larger point: to get something we want, we often have to give up something else. And at first, that might seem unfair. Why should we have to give up things that matter to us to achieve success? But here's the reality check... The Cheat Code for Life: Buy Back Your Time It may sound counterintuitive, but every tradeoff we make is an opportunity. In fact, this understanding feels less like a burden and more like a cheat code for life. Here's why: once we realize that we can “buy” back what’s important to us, we unlock the real secret to success. And the one thing I will NEVER regret buying back is my time. Forget “time management.” Time management is about squeezing more into your day. Buying back your time is about taking control over how your minutes are spent, so you can focus on the most important, high-impact activities in your life and business. Every. Single. Minute. I’m on a mission to buy back every single minute of my day. Think about it: Time is the only resource we can never get back once it’s gone. You can make more money, find new clients, or build new opportunities, but once a minute passes, it’s gone forever.
