You can't have one without the other. Believe it or not, they go together, right? And so you have to give yourself some grace and have patience with yourself and know that it is never going to be perfect. It's never gonna be perfect, so then the key is being patient with yourself, giving yourself some grace, keep going, don't give up.” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 00:00 - The topic of today's episode 01:08 - The key to sticking to your new year resolutions 01:55 - Giving yourself some grace 05:02 - Keep going and not mentally give up 05:51 - Creating SMART goals 10:37 - About the Money Plan Bootcamp Starting and sticking to a money plan doesn't need to be overwhelming!
