“Discipline equals freedom.”
– Jocko Willink
Whether it’s keeping your fitness program or consistently and habitually reviewing your finances, once the discipline becomes a part of your identity, it frees you.
You’ve developed the habit and it’s no longer a decision that requires any brain power. It’s just something you do.
If it’s not just something you do yet, then you haven’t gotten in enough reps.
So whether reviewing your money every weekend is a “part of you” or if it’s still a bit of a grind, get your reps in.
See where your money went this week.
Was it invested in things that give you a return on money, time or joy?
How much was wasted on things that didn’t give you a return?
Did you make progress, fall backward, or tread water in your journey towards Financial Zen?
“What gets measured, gets improved.”
– Peter Drucker
The discipline of measuring, will improve your finances and give you financial freedom faster than you thought possible.
