Quote from James A.Hart on July 16, 2025, 11:06 pmIf you’re building a business, chasing goals, or simply trying to improve your daily life, some of the best investments you can make are shockingly simple.
Better shoes. A better mattress.
It might sound trivial—but it’s not.
You Spend Most of Your Time in Two Places
Let’s break it down:
- You’re either on your feet—walking, working, traveling…
- Or you’re lying in bed—recovering, resting, restoring energy.
In both cases, your performance, mood, and physical health are directly affected by these two things. And yet, many entrepreneurs will hesitate to spend $200 on great shoes or $500 on a high-quality mattress, while blowing the same amount on ads, tools, or random subscriptions they barely use.
It doesn’t make sense.
Your Body Is the Tool You Use to Build Everything
You want to close more sales? Lead a stronger team? Build a sharper brand?
None of that works if you’re physically worn out. Poor posture, sore feet, back pain, or poor sleep will quietly eat away at your productivity. They make you less sharp, less energetic, and less focused.
And when that happens, your business suffers.
Optimize the Inputs That Power Your Output
High performers optimize their tools, and your body is one of them.
- Good shoes reduce fatigue, help you move faster, and improve posture.
- A good mattress means deeper sleep, faster recovery, and better decision-making the next day.
It’s not a luxury. It’s leverage.
Next time you think about ROI, think beyond software and strategy.
Sometimes, the best upgrade for your business is simply to sleep better… and walk easier.
