We discuss Greg McKeown’s book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less and how it relates into money. Essentialism is about focusing your time and energy on only the most important things, AKA the most “essential” for your personal happiness, your personal success, for your job, etc. We would add money to the list; essentialism should be about focusing your time, energy, and money on only the most essential things. Non-Essentialism would be doing everything, buying everything because it’s all worthwhile and shouldn’t be missed. FOMO, YOLO, etc. But that leads to financial struggle and stress. Listen for ideas and encouragement on how to leverage essentialism principles with how you spend your money.
