Jessilyn Persson (00:32)In this episode we're diving into a truth that often gets overlooked. Your health is the foundation of your wealth. We'll explore how stress quietly eats away at both your bank account and your opportunities. Why longevity is one of the smartest investments you'll ever make and simple steps you can take right now to protect your energy, build confidence and align your wealth with a life you can fully enjoy. The first Takeaway we're going to focus on is your health is the foundation of your wealth. If your body is drained, your earning power, creativity and decision making all suffer. Brian Persson (01:11)That is absolutely true. ⁓ Me and you have both been in that position where we just don't, you just don't want to do anything. You just don't want to, you know, you have no motivation to go anywhere, do anything, work towards any kind of goals because you're physically suffering. And when you're physically suffering and your health is just not the best that it could possibly be, what kind of energy are you going to put towards? any kind of business or any kind of wealth or any kind of future endeavors. Jessilyn Persson (01:44)absolutely a great example is everyone has experienced some kind of an illness whether it be your common cold, flu, COVID, you name it, everyone has experienced it at least once in their life if not once a year, right? And if you think about where you're at in that time, you wanna lay on the couch, you want to get rest, you want... hydrate. A lot of times you don't feel like eating. You're lucky if you're sleeping. So in that state, now that's an extreme state because you're actually physically sick but you definitely aren't working. You're lucky if you got the TV on to kind of just keep you busy between naps. put that aside and you're better. You don't have, you're over your cold, you're over your flu but over time other things start. to take into account. Aging happens, which can shift everything in your body and things you don't even know until it's done and it impacts you in ways you can't necessarily prepare for. So if you don't take care of your health overall, it's gonna slow down your ability to create the wealth you want. Brian Persson (03:01)Yeah, and your wealth won't mean much if you don't have your health. Like we've done very well for ourselves, but I remember even recently, like I think it was two years ago, I had a significant hip issue. My muscles and my tendons were just not firing and moving the way that they should have. And it was causing like a significant amount of pain for me. it just takes you out. That's all you can think about. Even just trying to... put eight hours a day towards your job is difficult because your health is so impacted by this that you literally can't get past the fact that you're in pain or you're suffering in some way and then you can't focus on anything else beyond that. it really just kind of blocks you from building anything else beyond trying to get through that pain really. Jessilyn Persson (03:57)yeah, you're definitely not your best self. I know I've shared before in 2019 when I experienced severe burnout from working way too much and then my body just shut down because I was not listening to my body. And I was down for two months. I couldn't leave the house. I couldn't have light. I couldn't have noise. I couldn't have motion. And I'm laying there going, I am useless. This is useless. I can do nothing.
