If you hang around me now and you’re not an entrepreneur, I might get on your nerves and that’s because my mindset shifted a while ago.

I remember seeing a reel that asked, “Are you a producer or a consumer?” The speaker described consumers in a way that hit home for me. In my own words, consumers don’t value assets over liabilities. They buy things that lose value, spend every dollar they earn, and binge-watch TV or scroll endlessly on their phones. Over time, these habits add nothing to their live they actually take away. You’re just existing, stuck in a cycle of working to give your money away.

I’ve been there. It feels like being on a hamster wheel, running but going nowhere.

Then the reel described producers the millionaires and billionaires. Producers read books, invest in assets that generate residual income, and focus on growth. I understood that deeply because, when I started making those changes, everything in my life transformed.

Now, I’ve got a spot on my calendar every single day dedicated to education. Whether it’s a book, podcast, YouTube channel, or an entrepreneur I follow on Instagram, the content I take in adds value to my life. Every reel I watch teaches me something.

Here’s the truth: becoming a producer isn’t hard, but it does take intentionality. You have to want to serve by solving a problem. You have to desire growth in your skills and genuinely care about helping people. Ask yourself: What do they need? What can I master? Then, you have to put in the work.

I’ll tell you right now, living as a producer is worth it. It’s amazing. You wake up with purpose. You feel alive, knowing you’re contributing to something bigger than yourself.

Now, I don’t want to be so hard on consumers that it breaks someone’s spirit that’s not the goal here. We all have a choice. The question is simple:

Do you want to be a consumer or a producer?
