In this episode of Crushing the Day, Drewbie Wilson challenges you to think about whether you're sacrificing your time or truly investing it in your future. The way you spend your time today determines the success you'll experience tomorrow. Let’s dive into how to shift your mindset from time-wasting to time-investing and set yourself up for long-term success.

Key Takeaways

• Time is Your Most Valuable Asset: How you spend your time determines your future success.
• Sacrifice vs. Investment: Understand the difference between wasting time and investing it wisely.
• Small Investments Pay Off Big: Consistent, intentional actions lead to major rewards down the road.
• Take Control of Your Time: When you manage your time effectively, you set yourself up to win.

Time is Your Most Valuable Asset

Time is something we can never get back, which makes it more valuable than money, possessions, or status. Every minute spent today directly impacts your future success. So, how are you spending your time? Are you investing it in ways that will pay off in the future, or are you letting it slip away on unproductive activities?

Example: Imagine someone who spends an hour scrolling through social media versus someone who spends that hour learning a new skill. The first person sacrificed their time with little return, while the second person invested it and will reap the benefits down the road.

Pro Tip: Start tracking how you spend your time each day. This simple habit can reveal where you’re wasting time and where you can make better investments.

Sacrifice vs. Investment

There’s a difference between sacrificing time and investing it. Sacrifice happens when you waste time on activities that don’t add value to your life or future. Investment, on the other hand, is all about putting your time into activities that generate growth and success. The key is to identify which activities are sacrifices and which are investments.

Example: Watching TV for hours may feel relaxing, but it’s often a sacrifice of your time. In contrast, spending an hour reading a book, exercising, or working on a side project is an investment in your personal growth and well-being.

Pro Tip: Make a list of activities that waste your time and another list of activities that invest in your future. Shift more of your daily schedule toward the investment column.

Small Investments Pay Off Big

Investing your time doesn’t have to mean massive changes all at once. The small, consistent actions you take every day compound over time and lead to big rewards. Whether it’s learning a new skill, building a business, or improving your health, those small investments add up in the long run.

Example: Think about someone who spends 30 minutes a day exercising. While that might not seem like much at first, over the course of a year, that investment leads to better health, increased energy, and a stronger body. The same concept applies to investing time in business or personal development.

Pro Tip: Identify one small habit that will improve your life and commit to doing it every day. Whether it’s reading for 10 minutes, working out, or networking, those daily investments will compound into significant results.

Take Control of Your Time

The most successful people aren’t just lucky—they’re intentional with their time. They prioritize activities that bring them closer to their goals and avoid wasting time on distractions. Taking control of your time means knowing when to say no, setting boundaries, and focusing on what truly matters.

Example: A business owner who sets aside dedicated time each day for client outreach or marketing is investing in the future success of their company. By managing their time effectively, they can grow their business and avoid the stress of last-minute scrambles.

Pro Tip: Plan your day in advance. Set specific times for work, learning, and personal growth, and stick to your schedule as much as possible. This helps you avoid time-wasting and ensures that you’re consistently investing in your future.
