About this episode
It's easy enough to convince ourselves that personal wants are "needs" that we just have to have. In business, the temptation is even stronger -- after all, it can probably be expensed, there are plans for growth, we have to keep up with the competition... However you spin it, most "needs" are really just wants, and our cash is a scarce resource. Recognizing our wants, however, can free us from the feelings of FOMO, the stress, and the tunnel vision that often accompanies strong desires, and open our minds to alternative solutions.
