As an accountant, I get a lot of questions about the financial resources, so I will start there! Keep in mind, though - This is the LEAST influential resource you have, believe it or not! If it does not emotionally motivate you, there’s not enough money in the world to move you to do something you don’t want to do, right?

The problems we face are not a lack of effort or knowledge; it’s the emotional barrier to understanding and valuing activities that lead to financial outcomes. This gap creates a vicious cycle of stress, self-doubt, and financial instability.

In the beginning of my journey, I was of the mindset that more money would effectively take care of many things in my life, my debt, saving up for my son’s education, give us more access to vacations, and ultimately more choices. It gave me more capacity. My problem was I wasn’t being specific enough. I was focusing on the lack of money I had in my life and the barriers it was creating.
