Am I Rich Yet?

If you have to ask, the answer is “No.” Still, you’ll catch yourself asking many times.

All of those asks are understandable. None of them are necessary.

Fear, anxiety, uncertainty, fatigue, frustration, take your pick. There’s an emotion behind that question. But instead of stewing in an unfulfilled fantasy, you should convert it into fuel for more action.

Don’t check sales. Don’t check prices. Don’t check portfolios. Don’t check revenue. Forget all analytics.

Keep doing. Enjoy your ignorance. One day, you’ll wake up and won’t have to wonder—and then you’ll enjoy that too.
