Your financial reality is not based on the big decisions or life changing events in your life. Your financial reality is based on the tiny little decisions that you make every day, hour, and minute. The compounding effect states that small actions lead to big results, and this is especially true with your finances. So if you want to change your financial reality, focus on changing the small decisions you make every day. Choose to look at your finances, rather than avoid it. Choose to invest your money, instead of keeping it in your bank account. Choose to ask for help, instead of trying to figure things out on your own. This is what will make the biggest impact in your life. The Plant Your Money Program is currently open.
