Think about Money

This is not my default brain. This is the part where I’m training myself to do so.

Before you tell me that I’m one privileged kid growing up, I’d want to stop you right there. Cause you may actually be right, but also wrong in some ways.

I grew up having everything I needed. Sometimes, more. I would say I’m fortunate to have the basics + some, and that’s why it has never felt like a problem for me. I always had this thinking that money will always be there, no matter what. If you love something, you can find a way to make profit out of it. I believe that this idea works best when you have no choice and you live by yourself and there’s no other person  accountable for your actions.

I was into the hobby of buying and selling my clothes, and realizing I can make profit out of it. It became a side hustle a month after. Now I feel like it has gotten more serious and I hunt for items, I learned that I have to calculate every move I make. Gas, time, wear and tear of car, everything!

Now I feel like every move I make is dependent on what I earn. Not by the hour but by my efforts, strategy and efficiency. Is that how a business owner moves? If so, I’m up for it. Gets waaay more rewarding than the hourly compensation, as on most times, I overdeliver. For who’s sake? Definitely not me 😂 but the owner of a company.

I feel that once I actually think more about money, it will result to a more sustainable living, as I get into the business of coffee. And hey, it’s part of that plan :)
