When we look at many of the mistake we make in life, personal and profession, it’s almost always because we reach for something short-term. Let’s look at some examples.

1. Diet- Dopamine rush from sugar or fatty food today vs living healthier for longer in the future. Sugar and fat taste good in the short term, but increases chances for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

2. Exercise- Exercise today to perform at higher levels and live longer in the future.

3. Business- The fast money with shortcuts or building the trust of your customers and employees over the long term.

4. Smoking-short term high, but increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and other health problems.

5. Other Vices- Alcohol, Drug Use, Poor Sexual Decisions could all lead to adverse consequences.

6. Spend Money Now or Save for the Future

7. Investing behavior-the overwhelming habit of people in the stock market is trade to try to make short term or fast money. Leads to all kind of risky behaviors such as speculation, leverage, Fear of Missing Out, Panic Selling, Ect.

“Temporary Inconvenience for Permanent Improvement” is a motto we believe in deeply. It is difficult and requires a lot of emotional strength and discipline. It can sometimes even be painful, but if we can hold on, the future payoff will almost always be worth it.

Wisdom and Insights from Bradley Binversie

I am NOT an expert, but as co-founder of Exclusivia, I am so lucky that I get to learn from some of the best and brightest minds from around the world. We honestly originally built Exclusivia as a tool that I could use as well as my close friends. Little did we know that it would grow and expand so much, so even though I will most likely never be as intelligent and accomplished as the real experts sharing their insights, the team and I felt it would be worthwhile to let our other members get to know me a little bit more and see firsthand how I'm using Exclusivia to help build my own best life.
