Key Takeaways
•If you have badly stuck in debt then as the first step try segregating debts, between high v/s low-interest one. Try to close high-interest ones like a credit card, either through your savings or by selling things that you do not need. Once this gets fixed, you can move the focus on low-interest ones by using part of your income that you earn on a monthly basis
•One needs to understand the difference between Saving and Investment and shouldn't mix both of them. The primary purpose of Saving is to preserve the money by ensuring it grows at par with inflation whereas the goal of the investment is to earn money and beat inflation. If needed, always hire an investment advisor who can guide you in your investment journey
•Whether you are working on your business or for a company, consistency is the key element that separates successful people from the rest. Ensure that you are consistent in whatever you do, it may be producing content every day or doing exercise every day or taking ownership and showing up every time when there are problems or challenges that you encounter while working in your company or in your business.
