“I Didn’t Need a New Truck. I Needed Less Inventory.”
(A conversation with a local electrician, one year after he attended a 1-day Income|Outcome workshop.)
Electrician:
“It did make a difference. I was trying to figure out whether I should be getting a new truck or not. I closed my eyes so I could imagine the board and moved the chips around — like I was buying a truck. Then I moved the chips around like I wasn’t buying a truck.
“I kind of looked at it all, and you know what I figured? I didn’t actually need a new truck, but I had way too much money tied up in supplies, parts, and equipment.”
Andromeda:
“What did you decide to do?”
Electrician:
“I decided to reduce the inventory and think about it again in six months.”
Takeaway:
He didn’t just see the chips — he saw the bigger financial picture.
