What this episode covers
Are you stuck waiting for the "perfect" opportunity? On this episode of the Happy Money Podcast, my son Michael and I dive into why indecision costs us more than we think. Drawing inspiration from Saint Augustine, who said, "God provides the wind, but man must raise the sail," we explore how taking action, even imperfect action, is essential for progress. We discuss overcoming decision fatigue, learning from mistakes, and the framework successful wealth builders use to make intentional choices.
