The Most Underrated Advice That Separates Winners From Strugglers
Are you sabotaging your growth by trying to save money?
This is the 307th consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
A few days ago, someone DM’d me.
They were stressed out, struggling financially, and looking for a breakthrough.
They asked me:
"Manish, is there one idea, hack, or technique that can guarantee success and help me make money?"
I’ve known this person for a while, and to be honest, I knew they wouldn’t take action on what I’d shared.
But I still told them, because some ideas need to be shared even if only a few truly use them.
And you, reading this post right now... I hope you’re the kind of person who actually uses it.
The one idea that could change your life
Stop trying to do everything yourself.
That’s it.
The guaranteed way to fail slowly, feel frustrated, and stay stuck financially is by trying to be the hero who handles everything solo.
You are not supposed to know everything.
You are not supposed to learn every skill.
You are not supposed to fix every challenge yourself just to save money.
Here’s what I told that person — and what I’m telling you now:
Only focus on what moves the needle
Ask yourself this:
Is this task directly helping me grow my income, my mindset, my business, or my relationships?
If the answer is no, you shouldn’t be doing it.
- Either delegate it or outsource it.
And if it’s a skill you must learn?
- Don’t waste weeks Googling.
- Don’t try to piece together free YouTube videos.
- Don’t waste time in indecision.
Hire someone, buy the course, find a mentor or coach.
Time is your most valuable currency, and trying to figure everything out yourself is the fastest way to run out of it without ever making money.
Here’s your next step
If this message resonates with you, ask yourself:
What’s the one thing I’ve been struggling with?
Who can help me with it?
Can I hire someone to do this, or learn it the right way from a coach?
Now go do it. Right now.
No waiting. No “I’ll think about it.”
If this made you think…
