Focusing on making money means being fully aware of: 1. What do I have? (What can be converted into money); 2. What do I want? (Money); 3. What am I willing to give? (Time, energy, money, emotions, etc.)
There's always a reason why we all do what we do, I personally have a reason why I'm focused on making money. And it is for the sake of the future and of course self-awareness is important. What do I have? (Skill, knowledge, target and self-awareness) what do I want? (Wealth) what am I willing to give? ( Time, dedication, discipline, hard work)
In other words, we are pursuing financial stability now for our future provisions and we will even try to prepare everything for our descendants so that they can continue what we have built.
I agree that we must look at ourselves, in other words we must measure our ability when doing something. And if we feel that our ability and knowledge are not enough to do it, then we must continue to learn so that we can be at a good level to start doing something that can make money later.
