CFD 124 - How Flexible Are You?
In today’s Cash Flow Diary podcast episode, you learn about another necessary skill for entrepreneurs, business owners and Real Estate Investors. It’s flexibility! Why is being flexible so important? Because sometimes your best laid plans will go awry. That means you’re going to have to be flexible to adjust and take the necessary steps to turn things around. Think of it as a form of mental yoga. It’s okay if things don’t go as you intend. It’s how you respond and what you do when things go off track that matters. J. Massey learned this early on from one of his mentors. He always said, “Blessed be the flexible because they’ll never be bent out of shape.” He’s right. The more mentally flexible you are the better. You’ll realize that no matter what happens you will be okay. You’ll live and even thrive if you are flexible. You can’t avoid issues in business.
