Part 4/6:
Reflecting on his past and the financial choices he made during the peak of his revenue year, Justin emphasizes the crucial concept of delayed gratification. He grew up in less-than-ideal financial circumstances, which colored his perception of money management.

Justin acknowledges that his ambition to scale the studio to a seven-figure profit was compromised by his lack of investment in vital areas, like team growth and game development. This recognition adds a weight to his narrative—it’s not solely about run-of-the-mill success but rather about missteps and learning along the way.
