What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
How many times have you set a goal only to forget about it or push it off, never actually achieving it? There are many reasons behind why this can happen. Maybe it wasn't truly important to you. Maybe life got in the way and it had to take a back seat. Maybe you just feel like you don't make enough money so you don't even try. That is why in today's episode, we are going to talk about four main reasons behind why goals fail and the four steps you can take to change your narrative and start achieving your goals. So go get your drink, open your heart to God, and let's dive in. If you're ready to build wealth, ensure financial security, stop overspending, and finally create a budget you can stick to, you mama are in the right place.
Hi, I'm Molly, a budget coach and financial strategist who went from living paycheck to paycheck to paying off debt, saving money, and going on vacation. all by budgeting. And I help mamas just like you budget and create God-centered systems and routines so that you too can have financial freedom. Now stop pinching those pennies and let's dive in. Before we get going, this is a great time to let you know, if you don't already, that there is a wonderful community of mamas just like you getting more support with their budgets in the Budgeting with Confidence community. This is a great community where you get more support not only from me, but from other mamas who have already or are going through the same struggles.

I used to be the one where I was like, oh my gosh, I gotta set a goal. Like, what is this? I don't understand. But now as I've grown and I've learned about what financial goals are or just goals in general, I see the benefits of setting goals and actually achieving them and turning them from dreams into reality, right? because you can't actually achieve a goal if it's just in dream state or wish state, however you prefer to call it.
And so that is why I really wanted to talk to you about today's episode because financial goals fail all the time, but failure is not a bad thing, right? Failure can be a good thing because you're learning about what is either truly important to you or you're learning about... how you didn't maybe set up a plan or you didn't set it up correctly. There's just so much learning in failure. So I feel like we need to work on changing the outlook or the connotation of what it means to fail, right? Because I love to fail and it means that there's learning going on. So that is why I want to talk today about the four reasons that goals usually fail so that you can actually start achieving them so that you can learn what happened and you can start analyzing and looking into what is actually happening in your behind the scenes of your goal setting so that you can actually start reaching them because reaching them and achieving them feels so good pushing them off and just saying well I guess this is never going to happen
doesn't exactly feel very exciting, right? And we just feel like we can't actually do anything with our money.
