Make The Most Of What Is Available

One of the biggest challenges I have faced in pursuing growth and ambition is something many of us from modest backgrounds can relate to; lack of funds.

I have come across amazing mentorship opportunities that I desperately wanted to join, but the price tags were simply beyond my reach. I'll admit, sometimes I caught myself thinking, "Well, they're just charging too much anyway!" ??

Looking back, that was just my way of dealing with the disappointment ??. People have every right to price their knowledge and programs however they see fit. You either meet their price or step aside for those who can.

The truth is, neither you nor I will be able to afford everything we want in life; some opportunities will inevitably pass us by. It's perfectly normal.

But what I have learned is there are plenty of free programs out there. For me, I take advantage of free opportunities while saving up for the paid ones I can manage. This has contributed immensely to my growth journey.

Not having money shouldn't mean missing out on everything. There's so much valuable content available that doesn't cost a dime. These opportunities are gold mines if you're willing to put in the work.

While I may not be in a position to give advice, I can share what's worked for me: if you can afford paid programs then go for them. But if you're like me and can't, embrace the free alternatives and make the absolute most of them. The key is to actually apply what you learn because that's how real growth happens.

Have you ever experienced wanting to be part of something so badly but couldn't because of financial constraints?

Thought-provoking. "Have you ever experienced wanting to be part of something so badly but couldn't because of financial constraints?" To respond to this question, yes, personally I have, many times over. No doubt, many others have experienced similar challenges, if you're not from a privileged family "born with a silver spoon in your mouth". It's all part of life's journey.
