Two Habits Holding You Back From Financial Freedom

Most people want to do the right things, but what are the right things? The problem that we face is that it's not that we're unable, it's that we need clarity because there's all this noise out there.

Think about the world that we live in right now.

everybody's an expert, everybody has an opinion, and everybody is telling you what you should be doing with your life and your money.

And the weird thing is, is that what you should be doing with your money and your life is usually presented by somebody who doesn't even know you with complete confidence, as if your life is identical to everybody else's.

As if your virtues don't matter.

Remember we covered virtues in our last episode.

Virtues are more powerful than values.

They are what you do.

They are who you are.

Not what you say.

Not as things change in life, what's more important to you.

But virtues are those building blocks that make you, you.

Your virtues are different than other people's virtues.

You might find other people with similar virtues, but that's a deciding factor that makes you different than others.

Timing, temperament, family, stress, health, your goals.

Those are relevant.

People are going to pretend those are not relevant.

You just get grouped in with everybody else.

We talked about effort in our last episode, discipline, consistency.

Those are differing factors.

Those make you different than other people.

So how do you know when all these experts are talking to you that their advice even applies to you? Or you're on social media and you're scrolling, and all of a sudden everything's telling you the same thing.

It's an echo chamber.

How do you know you're even in the right echo chamber? How do you know if those people that are talking to you understand your situation? Most of them don't.

They don't care.
