Time vs $.$$

[Robert2181]

I have been listening & reading all about the + & - of the " state of the industry".

If You fully understand and believe that, I fully don't understand. Make your choices and decisions upon before and when you decided anything that you are willing to stomach the peaks and valleys and the cycles that may or may not happen.

Our world since birth and all through life, we are trained,schooled,feed,educated, and brain washed to do nothing but grow,progress,improve, but may be we need to put more attention towards being happy and being successful.

Time versus money arguments depend on perspectives.

At 18 years old, I wanted fast motorcycles, cars and chicks and spent all my money like water. I was dumb and happy and had all the time in the world.

At 30, I wasn’t happy after divorce, debt and recession nor did I have all the time in the world. So, I worked my way through college and started saving.

Today, I am not wealthy (measure of success), but I sure don’t have much to be unhappy about.

Conversely, business isn’t personal.

Success is measured by trip generation, profits, etc. and happiness is when management achieves goals and objectives like growth, progress and improvement for stakeholders.

The business/economic cycle is incidental because all firms must content with it.

For example, not everyone is complaining or unhappy about the state of carwash industry because it is a $20 billion a year business.
