As 2024 comes to a close, you might be reflecting on your financial goals and the progress you've made. Many people view progress as a linear checklist of milestones to hit, but regaining control over your finances is far from straightforward. Focusing only on the end goal is discouraging, and that creates a mindset that is unsustainable for lasting change, especially when it comes to how you think and feel about money.

In this episode, I encourage you to reframe how you view your financial journey and the progress you've achieved this year. I'll discuss why the linear approach to progress can be limiting and introduce you to my lily-pad progress method, which leads to more sustainable success. Often, it's easy to overlook the small steps and skills you've gained, but those incremental behavioral shifts are fundamental to generating lasting change.

Take a moment to consider what you can do now that you couldn't do just a week, month, or quarter ago. Celebrate your wins and recognize how far you've come on your financial journey.
