I kick things off with some real talk about growth and finances. Everyone wants to level up their money game, but let’s be honest, not many of us know where to start. Only 27% of adults in the U.S. feel confident about building a solid investment plan. Wild, right? Here’s what I’ve realized: it’s not that we’re lazy, it’s that we often feel completely lost in a sea of options.

In this episode, I dive into what it really takes to build financial wisdom. I’ve learned that growth isn’t a happy accident; it’s something we choose to work on intentionally. The magic happens when we focus on mastering one financial skill at a time. Whether it’s budgeting, investing, or something else, choosing just one skill can bring massive clarity and peace of mind. So I walk you through how to pick that one skill and build a solid game plan for the new year.

I really hone in on the value of clarity over chaos. I even share a listener’s inspiring story; she’s committed to mastering budgeting and plans to forecast every dollar by March. It’s all about breaking the big goals into manageable chunks. Instead of saying, “I’m going to conquer my finances this year,” I encourage us to think quarter by quarter. This episode is packed with practical steps: pick one skill, set a 90-day plan, and practice weekly. Those quick wins keep the motivation alive.

I remind us that true learning comes from doing, not just listening to a podcast or reading a book. When we actually engage with our finances, it’s like exercising a muscle. We build confidence and create a positive feedback loop that keeps us moving forward.

I wrap things up by encouraging you to share what you’re learning with someone else. Teaching solidifies our own understanding. This episode isn’t just about money; it’s about growth, intention, and community. I invite you to join the Financially Confident Christian movement so we can grow together. It’s not just about managing money; it’s about managing it God’s way. So grab your pen and paper, write down that one skill you want to master, and let’s crush it together!

Takeaways:

• Only about 27% of US adults feel confident creating an investment plan, which is kinda wild.
• Choosing just one financial skill to focus on can lead to serious growth and clarity.
• Setting a 90-day plan for your financial goals makes them way more manageable and achievable.
• Practicing a skill regularly builds confidence and results, just like hitting the gym consistently.
• Sharing your financial goals with others helps solidify your learning and keeps you accountable.
• Remember, the best way to master a skill is to teach it to someone else; it really sticks!
