Net Worth or Cash Flow? Pick a Lane (for Now)

How Focusing on the Wrong Goal Can Stall Your Wealth Building

Everyone wants both: high cash flow and high net worth. But early on, you often have to choose. Chasing cash flow might mean buying smaller, cheaper properties that put money in your pocket now. Focusing on net worth might mean bigger, appreciating assets that pay off later.

Neither is wrong. But confusion kills momentum. The key is to know your season: Are you trying to replace income 1st (as a primary goal)—or grow long-term wealth you’ll harvest later (via buying power and better spreads later)?

Once you know that, the path gets clear—and your strategy stops feeling like financial whiplash.
