There is nothing wrong with striving to have financial success but be careful of taking it too far. The opposite can also be true, whereas you don’t strive enough, which can create another set of problems. Here are some signs of each:
Signs You are Striving too Hard
- You work an excessive amount of hours to get ahead at the peril of your own health and relationships
- No matter what you accomplish it never seems to be enough
- Most of your conversations involve making more money. However, this doesn’t apply to financial professionals.
- Your drive is not enjoyable anymore
Signs You are Striving too Little
- You are always behind financially due to a lack of effort
- When business is down, aside from a worldwide pandemic, you do nothing to turn it around
- Your efforts are not producing any real financial success
- You take little to no corrective actions to get ahead
The Right Balance
The right balance may be as simple as striving for success, while putting financial success in its proper place. It’s different for everyone and if you are honest with yourself you will know when you are striving in an unhealthy way or not striving enough.
