Sammie and Michelle look at why if you are pursuing something and growing, they recommend that you don't quit early.

Whenever you are pursuing something new, you may not see results right away, but that isn't a sign that you should quit. To become an expert of master, it's important to keep at something.

That being said, deliberate practice is also important. However, everything you pursue doesn't have to be of epic proportion. It's also helpful to rank something you pursue as easy, moderate, or epic level so you know how much time, energy and money you want to invest to improve.

Dr. Jordan Grumet is a hospice physician and is known as "Doc G" of the Earn and Invest Podcast. Doc G joins Sammie and Michelle on Status Post Adulting to talk about his journey as a hospice doctor and discovering financial independence.

Doc G wrote the book, Taking Stock, telling the story of how his relationship with the dying taught him about living life as well as balancing being financially responsible with making sure you are living your life.

We discuss how his father's early death inspired him to become a doctor, pursuing writing and podcasting while being a physician, and how being a hospice doctor helped him learn lessons about living from those who are dying.

Sammie and Michelle are taking a look at their own negative money scripts and reframing them with positive money mantras. They try to see where these limiting mindsets come from and why it's important to reframe. 

Money Script 1: People will respect me if I look wealthy
Money Mantra: I have confidence that what I do will have an impact and that I'm attracting a community that shares my values    

Money Script 2: X amount of money is the most money somebody like me can make 
Money Mantra: People are happy and eager to help me grow my wealth 

Money Script 3: Rich people are greedy and bad  
Money Mantra: Having money gives me the opportunity to create abundance and peace in the world
