Building Wealth: The Right Time for Rewards

I posted this picture on my Instagram account a few days ago. The reality is that I’m not a huge fan of posts like this. So much of what we see on social media is fake.?

There are so many incredibly successful people who have built profitable businesses and wealth. Many of them are on social media sharing their stories. There are also a lot of people posing as successful entrepreneurs who are very convincing in their posts. They seem to have the cars and the lifestyle that make them appear to be successful.?

Here’s the thing…

There’s a common misconception that appearing wealthy is equivalent to being wealthy. I want to debunk this myth. People will see my nice cars and collection of Air Jordan sneakers and assume I’ve always lived this lifestyle. That's far from the truth. It wasn't until after I built a decent net worth that I started rewarding myself with these luxuries.?

There’s an order to this stuff.?

Delayed Gratification: Your Wealth-Building Hack

“The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short team in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable prerequisite for success.” - Brian Tracy

It's worth noting that the path to creating wealth isn’t lined with impulsive purchases. One of the best lessons I learned is the principle of delayed gratification. Early on in my career as an entrepreneur, I prioritized business investments over personal ones.

Expensive, depreciating assets should not be at the top of your list when building your empire. They can wait. Your focus should be channeling funds back into your business ventures. Which will then fuel expedited growth and solid wealth accumulation.?

Trust me, driving a luxury car does not feel as good as achieving immense business and financial success.

The Pathway to Prosperity

Remember, this journey is a marathon, not a sprint. Instant gratification is tempting, but lasting success is created over time. I’m a huge advocate for strategized rewards that become milestones marking your progress—after you have laid down the financial groundwork.

Let’s Get Real

If you're questioning whether you're ready to indulge in that fancy purchase, ask yourself: “Is my net worth at a point where this expense is just a minor blip in my finances?” If the answer is no, then it might be wise to hold off and reinvest in your business.

If the answer is yes, and you’ve reached a substantial level of wealth that is sustainable, then maybe it’s time to indulge. Rewards should serve as motivation, not a roadblock to your wealth and business goals.
