Wealth doesn’t necessarily mean paycheck
It means “wealth.”
Don’t confuse the outcome for the incentive.
Like the exercise I pointed to earlier, it is easy to mistake the first thing as the thing.
I previously discussed how the first thing done rarely matters; at its best, it is an opportunity to understand better what you are thinking.
Our brains struggle to find nuance until it is obvious.
It is easy to see outcomes as being the same as your incentives.
Example: if your incentive is gaining wealth, you could mistake the outcome of earning a paycheck and its later money as having reached your incentive. Remember that incentives are stimuli, encouraging factors, and motivations. They are not items.
