Description

In this eye-opening episode of The Greg McAfee Show, Greg reveals a hard truth: your values aren’t what you say—they’re what your time, money, and reactions prove. Calendars don’t lie—and neither do your habits. Greg breaks down how priorities shift under pressure and how many people trade long-term stability for short-term relief through impulse decisions, debt, and distraction. Drawing from principles like The Richest Man in Babylon, he emphasizes patience, delayed gratification, and disciplined decision-making as the path to lasting success. He also references Truett Cathy, the founder of Chick-fil-A, as an example of someone who built a business around faith, family, and values—never letting work come before what mattered most. This episode challenges you to take a real inventory: What do you protect first? Because when your values are aligned—faith, family, people, then business—success becomes sustainable, even under pressure. ⏳🔥🙏 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:03 Time Ranks Values 00:02:16 Values Don't Stay Equal All The Time 00:02:45 Calendars Do Not Lie 00:03:36 What's Important To You, Spend Money On 00:04:31 Stress Responses Do Not Lie 00:04:52 Losing Weight 00:07:17 What Matters Most In Life 00:07:55 Control And Money Survival 00:08:29 Control, Money Survival, Ego, Urgency, Comfort 00:09:04 Food, TV, Alcohol, Drugs 00:11:11 What You Protect First 00:12:04 Haste Vs Patience 00:12:42 Impulse Spending 00:13:05 Patience In The Decisions 00:13:20 Richest Man In Babylon 00:13:43 Delaying Emotional Reactions 00:14:30 Delaying Gratification 00:14:49 Slow Is Ok 00:15:05 Saying No To Debt 00:15:49 Haste Trades Future Stability For Present Relief 00:16:19 Pressure 00:18:18 Being Who You Want To Be 00:18:49 Strong Leaders 00:19:48 Questions 00:20:12 Your Real Values Aren't What You List 00:20:23 Truett Cathy 00:21:48 Business Should Never Outrank Family or Faith 00:22:07 Family, Faith, People, Business 00:22:46 Pressure Is Coming 00:22:58 The Goal Isn't A Pressure Free Life 00:23:13 The Goal Is A Value Anchored Life 00:23:30 Final Line Options 00:23:54 Success Becomes Sustainable 00:24:05 Work Can't Come First 00:25:00 Outro
