Like, oh, I made a mistake, I messed up. We expect perfection or nothing. It's either it's gotta be perfect or we're just gonna quit. There's no middle ground. And the middle ground is where success happens. It's where real life success happens. You have to have the grits and the mindset that you're gonna keep going even when it's not all perfect. So it's not gonna ever all be perfect. And so if it's all gotta be perfect or it's a big fat zero, that's not a way to get ahead with your finances, right? Like you're not gonna make any progress that way. So you've really gotta get into that mindset of that middle ground. You know, when you make a mistake, you just keep going. It's not the end of the world. It's not just start again another day because someday it's not a day on a calendar. And if you just made a mistake today, why not just start over for the day?” - Ashley Patrick Timestamps: 01:17 - Introduction to the all-or-nothing mindset 03:44 - Overcoming perfectionism and fear of failure 04:06 - Practical techniques to reset your mindset 16:10 - How to get the Free Budget Starter Kit 17:13 - What to expect next week For easy step by step directions and worksheets on getting your budget together and done in 30 minutes a month, download my FREE Budget Starter Kit on www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start And if you enjoyed the podcast today and got some great takeaways, I’d really appreciate it if you followed the Money Mindset Podcast so you don’t miss out on future episodes Resources and Links Mentioned: * Budget Starter Kit: www.budgetsmadeeasy.com/start Connect with Ashley: * Instagram: www.instagram.com/budgetsmadeeasy Watch this episdoe on YouTube at https://youtube.com/live/4k1tT7sLZmo and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe!
