The True Power and Meaning of Money | ReWire 1989

Up to this point, I've had everything I've ever wanted in life.     There's really not much I want or need now.    But I had to start with the beginning.    At first, I wanted money.    I wanted money because I thought and society and media told me I wanted money.    But as I got into everything, I learned really quickly, there are costs to money.    When I started making money, I bought a fancy car, a big house, and then the second year, I bought a watch.    I had already had everything I needed and wanted.    When I started making milions, I hired people thinking I wanted a really big company.    That came with its own set of headaches between more staff and more money.    Here's a little math for you:  When I made $20M with my company and had 50 employees, I took home around $2M.    When I had a company doing $3M, I took home a million.    Put that in perspective.    Almost the same money, but I didn't have my freedom.    For 2 years, I traveled and worked speaking on stages, working 18 hour days , and being away from my family................   Thanks be to God because that 2 year period set me up for life...............   After going through the cycles of what's possible, I've come to realize what I value most......   It's time with my children and my wife.    You see, money can be freedom, or not.    But it's up to you what you really want...........   It's not a one-size-fits-all lifestyle.....   Make a decision about what freedom means to you.....   I bet it has nothing to do with money....   If you're smart, you'll figure it out.   About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.
