Nothing
kills an activist like work deadlines, a mortgage, and school fees. Markets
work best when there is full transparency, understanding, and the intent to
build a relationship. Most importantly, markets work best when there is
informed consent and no regret. When sellers are not manipulative, and buyers
are fully aware of the trade-offs they are making. The number one rule of
wealth creation is “Never be a forced buyer or seller”. The word No is the
foundation of freedom, even if we are defined by what we say Yes to. As our responsibilities
grow, our fixed expenses ratchet up (because of a world where success is
defined by more). Each Yes and No becomes embodied rather than a conscious
choice. Ironically, it becomes harder to get a gap between income and expenses with
each increase (if you expand to fill the space). We can often learn
significantly more about controlling our expenses by looking at those with less
than us. Those who peddle Abundance may miss the wealth creation skills of
those who defeat Scarcity every day.
