Freebies - A Curse or a Blessing

In this episode, Robert talks about the temptation to take an easy influx of cash. This is a temptation that most entrepreneurs face, and today Robert tells us how to resist it.

There’s a different mentality when you’re dealing with millions of dollars versus living paycheck-to-paycheck, and Robert shares some examples of how being unprepared can lead to bigger problems.

Robert reminds us to be weary of anything that comes quickly or easily if it’s out of the ordinary. If we aren’t in the right mentality to handle a certain level of growth in our business, we could likely end up losing it and ending up worse off than when we started.

It’s human nature that if something is handed to you, you’re not going to value it or know how to manage it, and you’ll probably lose it quickly. It’s hard to be disciplined in this area – if you are, you’ll continue to become the person you were meant to be.
