Whether it's insurance policies, investments, or financial advice, small decisions can cost you thousands or even hundreds of thousands over time. I share real client stories to highlight the opportunity cost of poor decisions and why focusing on value over price is the key to building wealth, creating freedom, and leaving a legacy. Key Takeaways: Opportunity Cost is Real: Settling for “good enough” can cost you years of financial progress. Focus on Value, Not Price: The cheapest option can cost you the most in lost time and money. Time is Irreplaceable: Your time is more valuable than money, so use it wisely. Beware of Bad Advice: Always verify, compare, and work with people who have a proven track record of delivering the best value.
