Pick Your Financial Heroes
As you work on your finances, it’s worth it to take some time to think about where you find inspiration and good ideas. Sure, there are a lot of wonderful books and blogs out there dispensing wisdom, but take a few minutes to think about the personal finance heroes you know in your own life.
For example: Maybe it’s someone you’ve watched work hard to achieve their finance goals. Maybe it’s someone who overcame the odds. Maybe it’s someone who’s given you good advice. Maybe it’s someone who’s prioritized their financial values. Maybe it’s someone with amazing growth mindset.
