Money is never just about money.
It’s always about something else.
Here’s what Seth Godin’s blog taught me (with my personal spin):
1. Before there’s money, there’s a story.
↳ Money is just a side effect. The real game? The story.
The story you tell yourself. The story you tell others.
The story that makes people trust you, buy from you, or invest in you.
NO STORY, NO MONEY. Simple.
2. After a certain threshold, it’s hard for more money to buy you more happiness.
↳ You hit a number. You think, “This is it.”
But then you get more, and it feels the same.
The thrill fades. The new car smell wears off. 🚗
The next raise doesn’t hit like the first one.
Chasing more is a treadmill. You run, but you never arrive.
3. Get rich slow.
↳ The fastest way to lose money? Chase it fast.
The slow game is the only game:
Compound interest. Small wins. Boring habits.
The people who get rich slow? They stay rich.
The ones who get rich fast? You never hear about them in five years.
4. Spending less is even more valuable than earning more.
↳ You can always outspend your income. Always.
The real flex? Not needing more. 💪
The real power? Saying no.
Every dollar you don’t spend is a dollar you keep.
That’s how you build freedom.
Not by earning more, but by needing less.
5. Money isn’t the point. But talking about money enables you to find your footing.
↳ Money is just a tool. 🛠️ It’s not the goal.
But if you never talk about it, you never learn.
You never get better. You never get honest.
Talking about money = getting real.
Real about your life, your work, your future.
It’s how you stop drifting and start building.
SETH’S MONEY RULES ARE SIMPLE:
✨ Tell a better story.
✨ Stop chasing more.
✨ Play the long game.
✨ Spend less.
