[Audio] Part 1: The Myth of "Time is Money" The phrase "time is money" is one of the most pervasive financial myths around It implies that time and money are interchangeable, and that the more time you spend working, the more money you can earn When you believe time is money, you're locking yourself into a system where your income is tied to a fixed resource—your time.

[Audio] Key Insights Time is a Limited Resource: Unlike money, which you can always earn more of, time is finite Time is Infinitely More Valuable: The truly wealthy don’t think about trading time for money.

[Audio] Part 2: The Trap of "8 Hours of Work Equals 8 Hours of Pay" This myth forms the foundation of most traditional employment structures The idea that you work for a fixed number of hours, and in exchange, you're paid a fixed sum of money This is a cycle that leads to burnout and frustration, as there are only so many hours you can work.

[Audio] Key Insights The Limitation of Time-Based Income: When you rely on hourly wages or salaried positions, your income is constrained by the number of hours you can work Focus on Value, Not Time: Wealthy individuals focus on producing results, not on how many hours they put in.

[Audio] Key Insights The Growth Mindset against The Scarcity Mindset: The mindset that focuses solely on saving and cutting expenses is based on scarcity—the belief that there’s only so much money to go around Invest in Growth: Instead of cutting costs to the bare minimum, invest in yourself, your skills, and opportunities that will grow your income.
