But all of this goes to say,

How do you live your life day to day with money?

And that's where you get into the money personalities that you talk about.

There are traits and behaviors without even knowing, whether we're a spender, a penny pincher, whether we're an avoider that says, you know what, I don't even want to know what I have.

It's better to just bury my head in the sand.

I don't even know what my accounts are.

It just triggers anxiety.

Or whether you're a trailblazer.

right we all know those trailblazers that are out creating wealth many of them are entrepreneurs but they're also kind of that diy i know i can do this on my own and that maybe it's not the best use of your time and talent you know maybe you serves you well to actually delegate oftentimes a trailblazer doesn't even stop to enjoy the roses right to say wow i've done this

Now I need to go and make sure I grow it and actually know how to manage, protect, and preserve my wealth.

And maybe I'm not the best person.

So we all have those.

And I think every single money personality, and I lay it out in detail in the book, have good traits, strengths, and they have weaknesses.

And until we stop and recognize our good behaviors from our bad, we can't

purge what isn't working for us or what might be holding us back.

But again, it's not about punishing ourselves or creating more shame around this.

It's just about self-awareness because once we're aware, we can make intentional shifts.

Well, first of all, understand this isn't as hard as it looks, right?

And recognizing where you're at and being okay with it, don't having shame around it.

And that's what I try to accomplish in those first few chapters of if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone, right?
