Game Math—How to Use Numbers to Achieve Your Goals
Value of Your Time
Knowing your hourly rate is crucial for several reasons:
- Optimize Your Time: Once you know how much your time is worth, you can make informed decisions about which tasks to keep and which to outsource. If you can hire someone to do a task for less than your hourly rate, you free up time to focus on high-value activities that generate more income, save time, or conserve energy—all valuable resources.
- Goal Math: Your hourly rate also helps you calculate how much time and effort it will take to reach a financial goal. Whether it's saving for a luxury vacation, investing in new business equipment, or going all in on a passion project like publishing a book. overstanding the numbers behind your goals lets you frame them more clearly and tangibly. Instead of saying, "I want to go on that luxury vacation," you can say, "When I sell one hundred and twenty products, I am going on that vacation." This approach gives you a clear target and a path to achieving it.
Applying Goal Math
In both personal and professional settings, success often boils down to overstanding the math behind your goals. By breaking down larger objectives into smaller, manageable tasks and numbers, you create a clear roadmap for reaching your desired outcomes.
