EP. 96 Why You're Not Staying Motivated

One of the most common questions I get is, “How do you stay motivated?”. Before we even talk about achieving goals we have to address the “staying” part of the question. No one STAYS anything forever. As humans, we are ever-growing ever-changing beings. And like the Earth’s seasons, we have periods of hibernation, as well as periods of substantial growth. So, to think that people who have achieved what you wish to achieve have stayed motivated 100% of the time on their journeys is completely false. However, in this episode, I’ll explain why it’s all completely normal, how to still make progress, and how to actually achieve your goals. IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI SHARES ABOUT: How to stay motivated with your financial goals How to handle bouncing back when life gets hard What to do when staying motivated is hard Staying motivated for the long term Why our goals should be like the seasons Tips for writing down your goals, revisiting your goals, and keeping them in front of you Why it’s important to check back in and adjust your goals often How to talk about your future and dreams in a way that they’ll actually happen The importance of using visuals such as the Debt Free Charts or Powersheets What’s your why and does it ever change?
