What do these 2 levels of thinking reveal about your Money skills?

In today’s world, most of us make decisions based on surface-level information—quick, emotional reactions to events or opportunities. This is what’s known as Level 1 thinking: immediate and often instinctive. It’s the kind of thinking that everyone does, but it’s not always the best way to navigate decisions, especially when it comes to building wealth.

Then, there’s Level 2 thinking—a more logical approach. While it’s still not the deepest level of thinking, it’s a step up from emotional, reactive thinking. Even Level 2 thinking can sometimes be a bit lazy. People stop short of diving into nuances, the deeper layers, and what lies beneath the surface of every financial decision. To build lasting wealth, you need to get comfortable with thinking on a deeper level, going beyond the obvious.

In today’s Wealth Talks episode, Tom and John McFie are joined by Ben McFie, who shares an example of how Level 1 and Level 2 thinking apply to the world of wealth-building. The discussion also includes a story from the legendary Zig Ziglar about the Wisdom of the Ages, revealing how understanding the “why” behind your actions can create meaningful results.

Discover how you can shift from basic reactive thinking to the higher, more effective thinking of the wealthy. Learn how to approach your finances not as a transaction, but as a long-term strategy—one that will serve you in both good times and bad.
