I’ve heard this line a hundred times:

“I’ll invest once I land the job.”

On the surface, it makes sense.

Why spend money when you’re not earning?

But here’s the math nobody talks about:

Every month stuck in the job boards is a month of lost salary.

If you’re aiming for $100K–$150K, that’s $8K–$12K per month left on the table.

So by “saving” $200 a week, you might be losing $8,000.

That’s like skipping a $50 Uber ride and then missing a $5,000 flight.

I get it.

Spending when you’re in between roles feels risky.

But the real risk is inaction.

One of my clients said it best:

“The scariest part wasn’t the money. It was realizing how much I’d already lost by waiting.”

Here’s the shift: the fastest way to afford the job you want… is to start acting like the person who already has it.

So ask yourself:

👉 What’s actually costing you more right now — the price of support, or the price of staying stuck?

Takeaway: Waiting is the most expensive option.

If you want to start small, that’s why I created the Career Creators Library — $25/week to access the same frameworks my 1:1 clients use.
