The Art of Patience: How Delayed Gratification Builds Wealth The Darius Foroux Show: Mindset, Business, Money

I have a love/hate relationship with impatience.  I love it because it has helped me to accomplish things in my career. When something needs to be done, I do it immediately. I just can't wait. But that approach is not helpful when it comes to your finances. To build proper wealth, you need patience. You can read about investing and compounding as much as you want. But unless you don't have the patience to let your money compound, you can never reap the benefits. This is something I had to learn. To all my fellow impatient-natured people, learn the art of patience. It will help you immensely in life. Listen to learn more! Pre-order The Stoic Path to Wealth My new book is coming out July 16th. It shows you how to build enduring wealth in the stock market. Learn more: ⁠⁠stoicpathtowealth.com⁠

I also have a library of podcast episodes available in case you’re new to my work. You will especially enjoy my podcast if you have enough from listening to the same people on different podcasts. I only interview people who’s work I find valuable. To me, that’s the best way to have a conversation that’s also valuable for the reader.

If you’re into interviews, check out my conversations with Derek Sivers and Cal Newport. Listeners enjoyed those episodes a lot.

If you’re into productivity, check out “How To Focus Better” and “How To Beat Procrastination With Systems.” Those episodes were received well my listeners who want to get more done.

If you’re curious about personal finance and wealth building, check out my popular episode “5 Tips To Get Rich Slowly.” In that episode, I talk about several practical tips I’ve learned. Not the standard get rich quick advice.

I also have an episode on strength training and fitness. I’ve been working out since I was 16 and experienced many injuries. On “5 Tips For More Effective Strength Training” I talk about how I changed my approach. As a result, I feel stronger and I’m no longer injured several times a year.

I’ve also experimented with added audio articles to my podcast. For example, I recorded an audio version of 10 Career Mistakes I Wish I Had Never Made. That’s one of my most-read articles on careers.
