far your most important asset and it's way more important than money let's get started

click the notification bell as well it really helps out the channel so about 10 years ago in
2011 I was in Medellin Colombia and i met this girl, Joanna, and she was in our apartment
and i wanted her to leave so she asked me for cab fare and for some reason i didn't give it to her
and she got really upset and she started like making a scene and crying and
she basically like refused to leave the apartment but i dug my heels in and didn't
give her the cab fare and reflecting back on that i really think that that situation
changed the way that i view things or at least at a minimum it was like the impetus or
the starting point for having a drastic change in my personality now when i reflect back i
just feel like i was so stupid and actually like about four or five years ago i reached out to her
and apologized but i also thanked her because that situation changed me tremendously because
reflecting back i created a significant amount of stress for joanna i wasted 30 minutes of my life
and i also created a significant amount of stress for me all to save around 10 dollars if that
situation happened now i would gladly compensate her for the inconvenience and that way we both
left on positive terms and i was able to reduce and mitigate stress for me for her and also save
30 minutes of my life and even now if i have students who are too high maintenance
i will cancel their membership and not allow them to join again in the future because remember
you don't want people who are going to monopolize your time you can always make
more money as long as you have an adequate amount of time but if you try to nickel and dime people
and you're willing to sacrifice a lot of your time in order to win every single deal then you're
going to cause a significant amount of stress and waste a lot of time that you could allocate
towards being more productive and creating more value so i guess the point of this video
is you should definitely value your time more than you value money and for me i had a tendency
in my past and i was really young to value money more than i value time but right now
i think it's incredibly valuable for everyone to value their time more than they value money
and i would gladly trade money for time and i understand that as you get older time becomes
more valuable and money becomes less important but even if you're 18 years old or in your early 20s i
think it's also important to think about the long term and to try to build good habits and remember
that you should get in the habit of always treating time more importantly than you
treat money because you can always make more money as long as you're healthy and you have
an adequate amount of time and you have good work habits and you're disciplined
