We already know that 90% architecture businesses will die the next 5 years.
Handling money wisely is a skill that can help us survive.
Here are some practical strategies to learn about money, tailored for architects:
Architects work long hours, but sometimes, the pay doesn’t match up.
This mismatch can come from not knowing how to handle money well.
We will shine a light on a part of our work that doesn’t get enough attention:
Understanding money.
If you’re reading this, chances are you are where I was.
Skilled, hardworking architect, but somehow stuck.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m living proof that you can shift your mindset and your life to get more money, more time, and less stress.
This is what I learned.
A few years back, I thought being busy was cool.
I would do lots of things at once, work on several projects, answer hundreds of emails, check social media everyday, you name it. I felt busy and important.
But, I was always stressed. My work wasn’t that great, and I had zero free time. This is what I call “distraction cancer.”
Then, one day, I came across with a guy named Naval Ravikant.
He talked about “doing what you love”, and it made me think.
What if being an architect could be more than just a way to pay bills?
What if it could be something that makes you feel happy and fulfilled?
So I started trying to understand this idea better.
I remember the days when I started my own architecture business.
I had to juggle tasks like finding clients and managing finances.
I had to figure out everything by myself.
But with every setback, I gained valuable experience.
Just like John Wick, who never gave up despite the odds, I pushed through the difficulties.
