A farmer's struggles with small-farm economics sparked a shift in the speaker's thinking: you need money to serve the world effectively. Fiscal responsibility isn't selfish, it's the foundation for helping others at scale.
I hung up the phone with a farmer and we were talking about all the change that's going on in the farm industry, how difficult it is these small farms, how they need to go direct to consumer now. And we talked about something that's a fundamental shift I want to share with you myself. For years I was focused on what's the gains for myself and my family, and so was she. And now it's what's the gains for our world is such a priority that it even supersedes what I need to do for myself. How do we move the world forward? I want you to know in your business, you are serving a great purpose in serving the world. It does start off with fiscal responsibility. If you don't have to worry about yourself, you can be of selfless service. That's the key. Be fiscally responsible to care for your own needs in order for you to give to what the world needs now, which is massive. We have a lot of issues that are resolvable if you care for yourself and take care of yourself fiscally. So do that now. Serve the world immediately. That's my plan. That's what I'm doing. For me, do that for you too.
