When it's pie time, what do want to happen? The worst case scenario of course, is to have too little, or, God forbid, none at all. planning a desert is a hell of a lot easier than planning out your entire financial life. It's really a lot deeper than just being about the money - and there's a lot more variables here than figuring out how much pie is needed for a diner party - but at the same time you don't want to come away hungry.
In our financial lives, we need to find ways to grow the pie. For ourselves, for our communities, for everybody. The only way to have enough is to create the wealth that will carry us through. That needs to be the aim. The purpose and mission behind it must be bigger and deeper than what has gotten us here so far.
Find ways to contribute and support others that are contributing and volunteering. A little recognition for the efforts of others goes a long unknowable way. The cost is so minimal while the returns may never be quantified.
You wouldn't show up to a 10 person dinner party, having offered to bring a desert, with a pie for one. The pie can grow; it needs the resources, the right ingredients, the right time and place. It doesn't have to come at anyone else's expense. And the right environment around those that are creating, growing, building is everything.
Secure the pie.

11 个月I wait all week for Barb MacLean Fintech Playlist - and she has pie as a VERY different metaphor than I do ;) https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/fintech-playlist-week-120-barb-maclean-dufnc?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android&utm_campaign=share_via
