153 | The Lily Pad Progress Method: Reframing Your Financial Progress


Listen Later

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.


Listen in to learn more about the lily pad progress approach and hear about these key topics…

  • [01:36] Pitfalls of using a linear approach to tracking progress

  • [06:52] Benefits of using the lily-padding progress method

  • [12:30] The importance of celebrating wins and acknowledging growth


  • Tune into this episode of Money Files to learn how to reframe how you think about the progress you’ve made toward reaching your financial goals.
