The anxiety of spending money should motivate you

Happy 22nd of December Man, Madame…

When facing any pursuit of money whether it be in the realm of business or digital business for that matter, you going to need moments of brief motivation to string together the discipline in my opinion.

Yes, discipline is needed, but let’s not kid ourselves here and suggest we can keep it up 24/7… and even if you can you will not be working to the same level of progress the entire time. Sometimes your gonna slack.

Boohoo, your human. Get over it. I wish I was a petrol-powered V10 too but my brain simply doesn't work that way. And that’s fine because it does work another way. A way in which having brief moments of motivation are a good thing.

Now how do you elicit this motivation?:

• Anger

• Anxiety

• Envy

You ever see someone killing it on social media and get a surge of motivation to get down to work? Yeah, that's because one of those ^ emotions was evoked. Now which one you rely on to push you day in day out is up to you, but in this iteration im going to be discussing a proven method I personally use to give my constant anxiety and push me harder when working.

You ready?

Spend more money.

Yup, I speak about it a lot and tbh it’s pretty counterintuitive at base value, but in reality, you need to hear me out. Humans have this wild ability to adapt to any given situation with pretty remarkable action. And in the case of making money, not having as much as you want… or need to survive gives you a pretty insane boost of motivation.

Now for the record, I’m not saying to go and blow your entire bank balance. I'm not saying that.

What i’m saying is that by proxy, you will work harder at your side hustle or business if you are spending more money than you would like. As that number goes down… you will work harder.

Thus, unlimited motivation. You may be feeling this after buying all your Christmas presents. I use this all the time to get a month’s work done in a week and I know a ton of other business guys that do the same thing. You will also realise that you naturally reach your goals alot faster as a result.

This is called the region beta paradox. But we will save that for another newsletter.

But next time your looking for motivation, or plateauing in your progress or wanting to move things along faster. Buy yourself some clothes… and your friend something to go with it. Or fly business instead of ecom, or buy the entire row of seats in a cinema just for fun. Im sure you can be creative. So long as the number goes do you will have the motivation once again to grind.

Not sure what to grind on?

In the new year Im going to be hosting a challenge, in which participants are given all the resources to build an info agency.

Winner gets a massive prize.

Huge opportunity to make your first 5 figure month going into 2024.

Stay tuned, details will come soon.
