No distractions get access to your energy. Wealthy people guard their energy like their life depends on it. Because it does. All energy directed toward wealth building compounds. Your phone buzzes with someone else's agenda while you're building yours. Energy extraction. Social media algorithms profit from your attention while your business starves for it. More extraction. An ole G told me, "Rich people don't become rich by accident. They become rich by design. " They protect their energy like it's currency, by treating their focus like it's gold. No distractions. No exceptions. NO compromise. Energy is money. When you spend energy on things that don't produce value - endless meetings, toxic relationships, mindless consumption you're literally spending money. You're trading your most valuable resource for nothing. When you invest energy in learning, building, creating systems - you're literally making money. You're converting your most valuable resource into assets that pay you. Say no to most things. Protect your calendar. Eliminate anything that drains without returning value. Manage your energy like you manage your money. Because they're the same thing.
