Today’s quote is:

“Money is in some respects like fire; it is a very excellent servant but a terrible master.” (P.T. Barnon)

As part of my daily routine, I often share thought-provoking quotes on social media. These quotes not only inspire, but also prompt deeper reflection. On days when time permits, I take the opportunity to expand on these quotes here, through blog posts, diving into the questions they raise.

This week, amid a busy schedule, I wanted to continue the tradition of engaging with our daily quotes. Instead of forgoing a post altogether, I thought I’d share some questions inspired by today’s quote—questions aimed at sparking introspection and discussion among fellow coaches and readers.

• How does this quote resonate with your money beliefs?

• Considering the quote’s emphasis on the potential dangers of allowing external factors to dictate one’s life, how can we empower clients to take ownership of their choices and embrace a more proactive approach to personal and professional development?

Bonus questions for the blog:

• What coaching question, exercise or technique does this quote prompt for you?

• Does this quote resonate with you?

• What fresh insights or perspectives have you had around the topic of money?

Feel free to share your thoughts and insights in the comments below or on your own social media platforms. Let’s continue the conversation and explore the wisdom within these words together.
