Dean Graziosi Show (PODCAST episode)
Some of my blog posts would be on podcast episodes as I spend a lot of time in the car listening to these and will share some that really resonates with me and my blog.
The title is “The Most Giving People in the world Understand this Secret” by the Dean Graziosi Show. His podcasts are really short sometimes less than 10mins but the content is really quite interesting. This episode he talks about when you give to people you have to first make sure that your cup is full before giving to other people. We cannot be giving to other people when we are barely breathing on our own. Which is so true! Sometimes when I look at the less fortunate, I would always want to give back to them but then I realised that I sometimes do not even have enough for myself. And as we listen more and more to these mindset shifts and “Shi Fu” I realised that I have a problem with my money mindset.
I used to think that money is not as important and that a job that can give me a sense of satisfaction is good enough which was why I was not as aggressive when I was younger and also the reason why I took a SALES job without commission (YES I DID!). Because I enjoyed the relationship without the fighting for accounts but then I realised after having a kid that money is so so important and without it or the lack of it would cause a lot of other issues in the relationship as well. Everything needed money: kids toys, educational books, educational toys, clothes, food and going to school (not counting in Tiger mama and the need for extra curricular activities).
When I listened to this short 10mins episode it really got to me that to help my family, my parents or even my kid, I have to first help myself and to become more financially free before I can help anyone else. Thoughts anyone?
