Counting from Friday, October 23, there are 69 days left in the year. Maybe you said this would be the year you got ahead of the bills or started something of your own. J. taught it this way in his Cashflow Foundation course back in 2013. We don't like making decisions, so we let time make them for us, and time will make decisions for you when you fail to take control of it.
This episode covers why we wait (the pain gap between where you are and what you want), why staying started is harder than getting started, and what deciding looks like inside a rental business.
