I get it. We thought that twenty twenty 73 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: was a dumpster fire year. It was not. It was 74 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: also twenty twenty one. But you were saying before, you 75 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: were like, oh it was pretty flat year. Girl. No, 76 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you graduate, you have another degree under your belt. Who 77 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: is she? 78 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 4: Two degrees? 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: Yeah? 80 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: I guess that's exciting, isn't it the old master being done? 81 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: And that's exciting.

But that's okay, we push on and we sorry. 86 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: What was that industry? 87 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: Journalism? 88 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: Technically is this journalism? Let's call it. 89 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: Small like creative writing present, but you know it's in 90 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 3: the media, so it counts. All right, let's go with that. 91 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: We'll stay positive, all right, Right. 92 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: That counts. 93 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: That counts. She counts, No, it has. It has been 94 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: a really another quite difficult year, I guess but we made. 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 4: It to the end. We're at a fresh year. 96 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: I'm feeling quite rejuvenated, which I love after a big 97 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 3: festive period. But the I wanted to ask you about 98 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: the importance of looking back on the year that was, 99 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 3: if it even is important, because you know, it can 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: be quite intimidating to look back at the last year, 101 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: in the last two years and think, gee, what have 102 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: I actually learned? But would you say it still is 103 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: quite important to do that to help inform what we'll 104 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: be doing moving forward. 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: Of course, if we don't know where we've been and 106 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: we don't honor the journey that we've been on, how 107 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: are we going to see the value in the journeys 108 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: that we're going on in the future. That sounds really fluffy, 109 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: and I don't mean it to be, but to be 110 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: really genuine, like you can't have the sunshine without a 111 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: little rain, Like you actually have to have gone through 112 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: some levels of negativity or some level of hardship to 113 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: really appreciate what we have in the hearing now. And 114 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I know that that sounds super cliche, but in a way, 115 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: I'm grateful that as a community we've gone through such 116 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: hardship and I know that coming out the other side 117 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: is going to look very different to very different people. 118 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: But to have gone through everything that we've gone through 119 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: to now coming out in twenty twenty two and hopefully 120 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: we're not going to go into any other lockdowns, and 121 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, we're being promised that, but who knows. Anything 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: could happen. But it's just it's very cool to think 123 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: that we've gone through so many things, we've survived, and 124 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: we get to go above and beyond for the next 125 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: year and really honor the journey that we've been on 126 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: and go, you know what we missed out, but what 127 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: are we going to do this year? And some of 128 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: us are going to be like, oh my gosh, yes, 129 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: Victoria twenty twenty one was so challenging, but I've never 130 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: saved more in my life. Or some people are going 131 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: to turn around and be like, look, VI, it was 132 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: so hard. I literally struggled financially. I'm still looking for 133 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: a job. But oh my gosh, how lucky am I 134 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: to still be around and have a good community and 135 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: be surrounded by friends and family. I just feel like 136 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: there's lots of different stories that are going to continue 137 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 1: to come out over the next twelve months. And lots 138 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: of flourishing stories from twenty twenty two, seeing people go 139 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: from strength to strength, and I just think that we 140 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: really do need to learn from the year that was 141 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: so we can have the best year yet totally. I 142 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,919 Speaker 1: think it also really makes you appreciate the smaller things. 143 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: And the other thing I wanted to add was just 144 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: how special it is that we've. 145 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: All kind of gone through this. 146 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: Hideous time really all together, Like, as She's on the 147 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: Money community, we've all been through such a big, weird time, 148 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: and you know, I feel like She's on the Money 149 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: has been such a big part of this time in 150 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: my life, for sure. 151 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: I hope so, Like you're literally the co host of 152 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: the shows, so that would make sense. But I agree, 153 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: like having experienced it online and through the Facebook group 154 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: and through our Instagram dms. Knowing that we have been 155 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: part of your journey, even just like a small part, 156 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: even if we're just on in the car on the 157 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: way to work and we get to hang out with you, like, 158 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: that's just to us so special to think that you 159 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: guys choose to have us in your ears, and us 160 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: in your cars, and us in your bathrooms and us 161 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: everywhere that you are listening to us.

But so that'll continue. No changes there 183 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: we'll have live events, which is going to be really fun. 184 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to coordinate a few at the moment. If 185 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: you live to our episode on Friday, you would know 186 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: that I am currently in the works of planning an 187 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 1: International Women's Day event. 188 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: La la. 189 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. But it's one of those things where it's like, Okay, 190 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: it's International Women's Day, but how do we make that 191 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: super diverse and how do we make sure that we 192 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: celebrate the She's on the Money community in that because 193 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: she's on the money is not about women. And I 194 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: know that a lot of people are going to be like, wait, what, Victoria, 195 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: It's actually about just financial literacy and the sheet and 196 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: she's on the money. That is me. I am the 197 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: sheet and she's on the money because I am incredibly 198 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: self centered. But we embrace everybody in every person in 199 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: our community, and I just want to make sure that 200 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: an International Women's Day event that we pull together is 201 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: not just celebrating women. Obviously, there is a lot to 202 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: do when it comes to the gender pay gap, and 203 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: there is a lot to do when it comes to women, 204 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: but there are so many more minority groups that need 205 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: recognition that I'm hoping over the next twelve months, we 206 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: can really celebrate those days as well, so it won't 207 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: eat just that.

I'm obviously quite a 274 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: happy person to begin with, but I just feel like 275 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't appreciate it, Like I want to have a 276 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: better level of gratitude than I already do, and I 277 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: feel like I'm one of those people like George, you 278 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: know me very well personally, I would say by now, 279 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: and I'm always like, I'm so grateful for X, Y 280 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: and Z. But I just really want to embrace happiness 281 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: and gratitude a little bit more than I already am, 282 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: because I just know how that impacts me personally when 283 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: I am embracing that. Yeah, And I mean that's not 284 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: really a measurable thing, it's just something you want to 285 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: be more conscious of. The second thing I am doing 286 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to I guess big goals. We won't 287 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: talk about my fluffy stuff, but I am currently doing 288 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: two really big things, and I feel kind of guilty 289 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: if I'm being honest talking about these, because it's not 290 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: often that people get to achieve these things in the 291 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: same year. I do want to preface this with I 292 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: have been saving for a very long time for this, 293 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: and as you guys know, in twenty twenty, Steve and 294 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,119 Speaker 1: I purchased our very first home, which was so exciting, 295 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: but we haven't been able to afford to renovate it yet. 296 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: So hopefully over the next few months we'll be in 297 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: a position where we can finally get a new kitchen 298 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: because we have George, as you know, an incredibly dysfunctional 299 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: current kitchen that honestly should have got the boot a 300 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: very long time ago. So hopefully we can go through 301 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: that process and in the same year getting married, which 302 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: was a very big undertaking. But as I've said, we 303 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: have been saving for a while for both of those things, 304 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: and finally they're coming up. But the thing that makes 305 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: me feel a little bit guilty is seeing how much 306 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: money is going to go out of our accounts this year. 307 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: It honestly gives me anxiety, Like, I know we've saved 308 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: for it, I know that was the plan. I'm like, oh, 309 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: I know, what was the plan, But do we really 310 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: want to do that? Because now it's there, is there 311 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: not something better we could spend it on. It just 312 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: gives me a lot of anxiety. But that is okay, 313 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: and it's important to talk through. But the kitchen is 314 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: a very big goal, and also the wedding is a 315 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: massive goal. So it will be Yeah, it'll be interesting. 316 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: And as I said at the start of this episode, 317 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm very surprised at how much things cost for weddings, 318 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: and over the last month or so that Steve and 319 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: I have been planning this wedding. It definitely has been 320 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: a journey of values and really understanding what his values 321 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: are versus mine and what he's prioritizing and what I'm prioritizing. 322 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: And you know, I didn't know how much dresses were, 323 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: and so going through that process of me going, do 324 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: you know what, I think I'm going to purchase a 325 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: secondhand dress because I just don't like for me, that's 326 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: not my value. I just don't want to spend money 327 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: on something in that realm. And I'm not saying that that's, 328 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: you know, the right thing to do, but for me, 329 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: that's where I'm prioritizing our funds. And I think that 330 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, over time, I'm hoping to share more of 331 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: that with you guys, But you know, it is actually 332 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: quite a stressful process, and so having goals written down, 333 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: it'll be really cool to be able to achieve those 334 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: two things. But I don't want you to think that 335 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: those two things were only thought about in twenty twenty two. 336 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: We've been saving for this kitchen since twenty twenty. 337 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, she's not just filthy rich no. 338 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: Like I mean, guys, I would like that, but maybe 339 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: one day, maybe one day, George, what are your big goals. 340 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: What are you going to achieve in the next twelve months? 341 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 3: Okay, so first I'll start out a little bit cushy, 342 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: little bit mushy as you do. So, I feel like 343 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 3: my one of my main personal goals is to continue 344 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: to be really kind to myself. I feel like over 345 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: the last two years it's been a real battle of 346 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 3: like that little negative voice in my head kind of 347 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: putting me down all the time and being like, you're 348 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 3: not where you should be, and then this other voice 349 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: is like, cis relax, it's a pandemic. You're doing a 350 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 3: great jobs existing, you know. So I feel like that's 351 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 3: one of the big ones. 352 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like there's so much pressure on 353 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: us to not just exist well, but to somehow perform. 354 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: Like that's not what life's about. Life should be about 355 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: love and sharing it and you know, being surrounded by 356 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: beautiful people, not beautiful things. And I guess I'm just 357 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: a little bit fluffy when it comes to things like that. 358 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: But if I have learned anything over the last twelve months, 359 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: it's definitely money provides a level of financial freedom, but 360 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: it is not the be all end all, especially when 361 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: we were all in isolation and couldn't see our friends 362 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: and family, Like, let's get our priorities right. But you 363 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: are absolutely correct, George. I feel like, as an outsider 364 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: and also a friend, you have put a lot of 365 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: pressure on yourself over the last twelve months, and I'm 366 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: glad that you are realizing that and planning to change it. Yeah. 367 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, so well I'll keep on working on that. And 368 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: then from a financial perspective, I am going to start 369 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: having conversations. So what this means does. 370 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: That mean a lot of conversation? So those ones not 371 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: good in it? 372 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: So I want to start investing, So that means going 373 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 3: to a financial advisor and having I know, a girl, 374 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: but like, yeah, sitting down with you and start like 375 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: creating a plan and figuring out what I'm going to 376 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: do and what I'm comfortable with and getting that sorted. 377 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: Obviously having access to you is an immense privilege, but 378 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 3: that is that's one of my goals. And then also 379 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 3: speaking to like a broker or again someone like Amy 380 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 3: and chatting about next steps in terms of entering the 381 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: property market at some stage this year just kind of 382 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: it'll be cool to. 383 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: Start understanding what the expectation exactly and understanding what that means, 384 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: and I know that one of the things that has 385 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: been really powerful for our community, and that we're actually 386 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: relaunching this year, which is so exciting.

And I 561 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: just feel like that's a thing. Like I have a 562 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: group of friends and we all choose a word for 563 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: the year, and I just feel like that's really special 564 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: and quite cool, and it's like the theme of the year. 565 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's the theme of my goals, but 566 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: like it's definitely the theme of the year. Like that's 567 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: the thing I want to embrace more over three hundred 568 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: and sixty five days. And that's pretty cool. But tell 569 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: me what's she doing with her double or nothing year? 570 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 4: Okay? 571 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 3: So number one is she's going to renovate her house 572 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: part as already scheduled for later on in this month. 573 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: Number two is to buy a second house, and number 574 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: three is to double her income through commissions. 575 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: What unrelatable content? 576 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 4: Most content? 577 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 3: But I'm happy for Gabrielle she's doing it. 578 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm really happy with that as well, and I think 579 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: it's actually a really good lesson in if you want 580 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: to achieve it, you just need to put your head 581 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: down and get it done. Like I'm a very big 582 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: believer that everybody has the capacity to change their money story. 583 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: Everybody has the capacity to achieve a goal. As long 584 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: as we surround ourselves with like minded people, She's on 585 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: the money, and we actually create plans for these goals, 586 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: everything is achievable. Like at the end of the day, 587 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: some of these have been epic, But I also want 588 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: to recognize before we jump into a quick break and 589 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: I know we'll get to it a little bit later, 590 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: but if you're listening to these and you're like, oh 591 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: my god, I have achieved nothing in comparison, like my friend, 592 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: that does not matter. The achievements of others does not 593 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 1: mean that your achievements are any less or any different 594 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: or not worthy. At the end of the day, a 595 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: rising tide lifts all ships. And the better you do, George, 596 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: the better all women do, the better everybody does. And 597 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: I just want to really embrace that energy going into 598 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. It's not about comparison. It's not about 599 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: what you do versus what I do, Like, I am 600 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: stoked for Gabrielle, Like, oh my god, you have increased 601 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: your base salary by thirty five grand. That's quite literally 602 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: the salary of somebody else in the she's on the 603 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: money community. That's not a bad thing. But I think 604 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: we should all be in awe of each other's achievements 605 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: and know if she can do it, I can do it. 606 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: For sure. 607 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: Let's go to a break. But I don't want anybody 608 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: to feel like their goals, whether they had smaller goals 609 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: or maybe you didn't manage to achieve your goals, That 610 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: doesn't make you anything less, That doesn't change anything, That 611 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you don't have the potential. Just smash 612 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: it out of the park this year. 613 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: Okay, V Let's now move into our goal setting section 614 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: of the show. There are a few rules that we've 615 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: kind of established over the journey which we wanted to 616 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: remind everyone of today when it comes to setting goals, 617 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: like little tips and tricks that make it easier to 618 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 3: stick to them. If that makes sense. Genius Genie reminder, 619 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: our first tip is to set achievable goal spee. How 620 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: does this work? 621 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: Honestly, it is so easy to get completely disheartened and 622 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: feel like a dumpster fire if we set a goal 623 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: that we aren't able to achieve. So setting small goals 624 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: that lead to a larger goal is absolutely preferable. And 625 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: the way to do that is to actually work backwards. 626 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: So if you want to save one hundred dollars in 627 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: ten months, we'd work back and go, Okay, what does 628 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: that mean for every single month? Ten dollars a month? Okay, 629 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: no problems. Can I feasibly find that in my budget 630 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: to save? If the answer is no, we know that 631 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: in ten months time we're going to be really disheartened 632 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: with our goal because we're not going to achieve it 633 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: because at a base level, that was never going to happen. 634 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: So I think it's really important to set smaller goals 635 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: that lead to a larger goal. Then just set this 636 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: massive goal and start working towards it. It's also so 637 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: hard in this day and age saving up for a house, 638 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: which I know is the goal of a lot of 639 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: people in our community, that can take years. And if 640 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: you don't set those smaller, realistic goals, you're going to 641 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: find yourself falling off the bandwagon or feeling disheartened or 642 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: feeling like it's never going to happen. And who wants 643 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 1: to set a goal that's five years away with no 644 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: ability to celebrate along the way. So we really need 645 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: to break them down into bite sized pieces that make 646 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. And at the end of the day, 647 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: setting more realistic and achievable goals is going to land 648 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: us in exactly the spot we want to land in. 649 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 3: And I feel like often when you don't meet a goal, 650 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 3: you do feel really useless, as you said, and sometimes 651 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 3: that can kind of propel you to maybe impulse spend 652 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: or do a little bit of retail therapy that lets. 653 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 4: You in a worse position. 654 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: Anyway, it honestly feels like trash like. And I'm not 655 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: saying that because I don't know what it's like. I've 656 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: been there, Like I've been in debt before, and I've had, 657 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, a personal loan lauding over my head. And 658 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: I remember so many times I set the goal and 659 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: I would say, I'm going to get. 660 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 3: Out of that. 661 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Victoria, with what plan were you going to get 662 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: out of that? How were you going to do that? 663 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: Like maybe one morning on a Saturday, I woke up 664 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: super motivated and I would be like, do you know 665 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: what I'm done with that? I'm going to smash it down. 666 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 1: But I never gave myself the grace of creating that plan, 667 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: so that when I didn't have that same level of motivation, 668 00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can't be bothered working it out, 669 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: or like maybe this month I won't transfer an additional 670 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: loan repayment or whatever it was. So I didn't achieve 671 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: that as quickly as I could have had I been like, Okay, 672 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: I found my level of motivation. This is how much 673 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: I owe, how quickly can I repay it back? What 674 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: money do I have that I could contribute to it? 675 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: And then automating it is really helpful as well. So 676 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: if the plan is to get out of debt, and 677 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: you've worked out your budget and cash flow so you 678 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: can afford another fifty bucks a month onto a debt repayment, 679 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 1: automate it, put it on direct debit, so it happens. 680 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: Because as much as it's upsetting, and I don't mean 681 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 1: like deeply I'm so depressed upsetting, I more mean we 682 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: aren't always going to hold the same level of motivation 683 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: for things or the same goals. It's going to depend 684 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: on our mood and what's going on around us. But 685 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: if that is deeply a goal of yours, create a 686 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: plan that is full proof, make sure it is automated, 687 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: set up those direct debts, get your stuff in order 688 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: when you do have that high level of motivation so 689 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: it can carry you when you're not feelings on top 690 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 1: of it. 691 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 3: Brilliant, which I feel like this kind of leads to 692 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 3: our next rule, writing the goals down. I feel like 693 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 3: that's a really good way of staying on top of things. 694 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: Be exactly. Writing down on goals really clarifies them and 695 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: allows us to visualize things. So why not stick them 696 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: on the fridge or in your wardrobe if you want 697 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: to save another thousand dollars? We literally have our savings 698 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: hacks that you can print out their very aesthetic and 699 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 1: stick them on your fridge so that you can cross 700 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: them off and stay motivated. Things that our front of 701 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: mind are far more likely to be achieved. The other 702 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: part is what's actually happening on a neurological level. Now 703 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing a super interesting article from Forbes here, but basically, 704 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: when we write down our goals, we're encoding them, which 705 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: is a biological process where whatever we are perceiving actually 706 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: travels to the hippocampus, which is in our brain and 707 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: is analyzed, and from there our brain sorts out what 708 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: will be stored in our long term memory and what 709 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: won't be. When we write things down, it is more 710 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: likely that that thing is going to end up in 711 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: our long term memory, and things that are really our 712 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: long term memories, they stick and they happen. Are you're 713 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: a scientist, No, I'm not, but I did study psychology 714 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: and that's why I know where the hippocampus is located 715 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: to Georgia. 716 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 3: That's really cool to know because everyone always says that 717 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 3: like writing it down sticks fluffy. 718 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: No, it's literally science, and science is sick. It's also 719 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 1: great to have something to refer back to if we 720 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: lose track or need to recall what our goals are. 721 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, it helps us 722 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: keep accountable. If we're writing it down, it is just 723 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: more likely to happen. Believe me, it's science. 724 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 4: I love it. Doctor v Our next step. 725 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: Can you imagine maybe I should go back to UNI 726 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: again and like not become a real doctor because I 727 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: don't really like the side of blood. But like, maybe 728 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: get a PhD or something, so everybody has to in 729 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 1: the future refer to me as doctor Devine. 730 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 4: I have the money, doctor money, duck cash dock. That's 731 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 4: like a doctor divine. 732 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: Does not sound to define work in money, Yeah, it doesn't. 733 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: Kind of go work in money. It sounds like I 734 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: work in another industry. Maybe I should just change industries 735 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: a you, I wouldn't say no, got to go where 736 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: the money is. 737 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 3: Okay, the next little goal, the next goal. I'm flustered, 738 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 3: look out, red am. The next step is to check 739 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 3: in with our goals and adjust them as needed throughout 740 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 3: the year. 741 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: I think that's a really good suggestion that you have made. 742 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: G And the reason I think it's a good suggestion 743 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: is what we want today might be what we want tomorrow. 744 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: I guarantee the goals I set last year might not 745 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 1: all fit into the values that I hold this year. 746 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: So it is always a really good idea to check 747 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: in and see if one we're on track with achieving 748 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: our goals, or if we need to modify either our 749 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 1: behaviors or our goals to see if we're going to 750 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: still achieve them. But on the flip side of that, 751 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: what if you're crushing it and you need to make 752 00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: your goals harder, then you definitely should make them harder 753 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: and change them so that we can achieve more and 754 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: be the best version of us. I definitely recommend checking 755 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: in at least once a month, or or once every 756 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 1: second month, depending on the size of your goal. But 757 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: from my perspective, it is really important to not just 758 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: check in and be like, am I progressing? Yes? Great? 759 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: Is this still of value to me? Is really important? 760 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: And I've spoken to people historically, and I know that 761 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: there are a lot of you in our community who 762 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: have messaged me or talked to me or even my 763 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: clients who have been like the yes, So I've spent 764 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 1: the last four years saving for a househ and I 765 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: don't want to buy a house anymore. That is fine. Great, 766 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: We've been working towards a goal. We have an asset 767 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: that we have been saving up for. Any goal is 768 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: not a waste of time just because you change the 769 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: parameters of what that might look like. And don't feel 770 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: disheartened if you're like, oh my god, I've been working 771 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: towards this massive goal and now it's not going to happen. 772 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 1: That's fine. Learned a lot along the way, we've changed 773 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: our values and that's okay. But the same thing goes 774 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: for careers. And I know that this is not what 775 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: we were talking about, but maybe your goal is this 776 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: year to change careers or get a different job. The time, 777 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: energy and effort that you have put into your current 778 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: career to date or current job to date, or current 779 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,399 Speaker 1: UNI degree to date, it's never lost. Even if you're 780 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: not going to work in that industry, you have learned 781 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot, Like look at what I have done. I 782 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: have gone from being in psychology and now I'm in finance, 783 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,359 Speaker 1: and there is no way that I would say that 784 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 1: that was a waste of my time. It has absolutely 785 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: gotten me to where I am today. So even if 786 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 1: you're going from medicine to being a journalist or going 787 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: from being George a journalist to being something completely different, 788 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I think we really need to drop 789 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: this idea of oh but I've worked there for ten years, 790 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: so maybe I should just stay, or oh but I 791 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 1: did that degree and it would be a waste if 792 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: I didn't work in that area. Like no, follow your heart, 793 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: follow the things that you love, and I promise the 794 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: money and the joy will follow. 795 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 4: I'm welling up over here. 796 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: No you're not. 797 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 4: Yes I am. That was stunning from you. 798 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: Oh thanks Ja. 799 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 3: Our last little rule here is my personal favorite. 800 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: Oh what is it? 801 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,080 Speaker 3: It's to celebrate our wins along the way. 802 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: And share them with the shaes on the money community 803 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: because I literally read every single one of them exactly. 804 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 3: So why is this so important? Like why is acknowledging 805 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 3: our success so pivotal? 806 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to be a little bit fluffy again. 807 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,759 Speaker 1: And I was watching a video the other day on Instagram, 808 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 1: because that's what my life is really, It's either scrolling 809 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: through my Instagram feed or scrolling through my TikTok feed, 810 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: let's be real. But this video came up and it 811 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: said if somebody else was as critical of me as 812 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: I am of me, I wouldn't want to spend an 813 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: hour with them. And I think it's really important to 814 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 1: take that energy and go, you know what, that's true. 815 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: I want to be celebrated. You deserve to be celebrated. 816 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you do or who you are, like, 817 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: you deserve love and you deserve respect, and you need 818 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: to start by giving that to yourselves. And you need 819 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: to be treating yourself with self worth along the way 820 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: and actually making sure that all this time, energy and 821 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 1: effort and the hard work you're putting in is not 822 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 1: only rewarding but really respected, and that actually starts with you. 823 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 1: And it's a really good motivator as well. Just stay inspired, 824 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: Like celebrate the small things. I don't care what it 825 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: is or how you celebrate. Obviously, please please please don't 826 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: go overboard and jeopardize all your hard work. Like there's 827 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: treat yourself and then there's absolutely ruined yourself. These two 828 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: things are very different. But one thing that I've got 829 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 1: a girlfriend, right, and she adores chocolate, Like honestly, she 830 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 1: could eat chocolate till the cows come home. But she 831 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:58,120 Speaker 1: buys these real bougie chocolates from Hakes in the city, 832 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: oh oh, and she puts little like post it notes 833 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: on them and sticks them in the fridge. And whenever 834 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: she achieves something, she goes and gets the chocolate that 835 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: has the post it note on it to celebrate. She 836 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 1: doesn't drink. I would probably do it with champagne or something, 837 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: but like she does chocolate, but like labeling the chocolate 838 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: and it says if I achieve X, like this is 839 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: the celebration, and she's just so cute, and I just 840 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: feel like, work out a way that you want to 841 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: celebrate and think about it. Is it a small thing 842 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: like a chocolate or is it a bigger thing like 843 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: maybe going out for dinner or popping a bottle of champagne. 844 00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: It honestly doesn't matter, but it's actually really sweet to 845 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 1: put yourself in a position where that's definitely going to happen. 846 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: Because I think that one thing that I'm really good at, 847 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: and I know that a lot of people in our 848 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: community are going to resonate with this, is that we 849 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: don't celebrate our wins enough. But often that is a 850 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: product of us not planning to celebrate our wins. So 851 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: whether that is buying the chocolate and putting it in 852 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 1: the fridge before that wind happens so that you know 853 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: it's there and you get it when you achieve that, 854 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 1: or it's I know I'm going to achieve my savings 855 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: goal and I really want to go out for dinner 856 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: with my friend George. Book it in in advance and 857 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,000 Speaker 1: say George, let's go out for dinner. I'm going to 858 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: achieve this goal next month. Can we celebrate it? I 859 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: promise your friends and family will be so excited to 860 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: celebrate those goals with you. Write them down, but please 861 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 1: make sure if you do anything in twenty twenty two. 862 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: One it's make sure you have an emergency fund, get 863 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: that thing in place. But two, please celebrate your achievements 864 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: like you are so worth it and I honestly want 865 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,320 Speaker 1: to see you win it everything. 866 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,800 Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, So to summarize, I guess the four keys 867 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 3: to goal setting are writing them down, making them achievable, 868 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 3: checking in regularly, and finally acknowledging your own success. They're 869 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 3: pretty Four is like a good number, that's the feeling. 870 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: Four is the new three therategic number we love. 871 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,399 Speaker 3: Okay, So before we do head off fee, we were 872 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 3: talking before the show about how we wanted to touch 873 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,879 Speaker 3: on comparison and how everyone over the last two years 874 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 3: has had such a different experience. You know, there's states 875 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,720 Speaker 3: that have not been affected by the pandemic at all. Really, 876 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 3: there's others that have been. You know, they've spent a 877 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 3: lot of time in lockdown, and maybe we're all at 878 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 3: different places financially, gills. How do we not succumb to 879 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 3: that kind of toxic, sludgy feeling of comparison, if we 880 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,400 Speaker 3: are seeing our contemporaries kicking goals. 881 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 4: That we wish we maybe were. 882 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: Honestly, please please, please, please have the self worth to 883 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: know that you are good enough and your efforts are 884 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 1: never going to betray you. Like everybody has had such 885 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 1: differing experiences over the last two years. Some of you 886 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,279 Speaker 1: have lost your jobs, some of you have had to 887 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 1: remortgage your houses. Some of you have lost your houses, 888 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: some have lost loved ones, some have taken massive pay cuts, 889 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: some of them battling with their mental health. I know 890 00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: some people who have been battling with not just mental 891 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 1: health but physical health and very serious illnesses during this 892 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: period of time, who haven't been able to even have 893 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,799 Speaker 1: family in the hospital with them while they go through 894 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: these things. Like there have been some people, George, who've 895 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: been completely unaffected. Like it's been such a unique and 896 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 1: absolutely bizarre time. And what we really don't need right now, 897 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: especially is to be comparing ourselves to the journeys of 898 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 1: other people, especially because we have not experienced their journeys 899 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 1: at all. We don't know how to walk a mile 900 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 1: in somebody else's shoes because they're currently wearing them and 901 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: they're not actually up for you to try on. So 902 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 1: I think that we really need to remember who we 903 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 1: are and remember that we are worth so much more 904 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: than often what we give ourselves credit for, and just 905 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: because somebody else is making an achievement or somebody else 906 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,879 Speaker 1: is in a situation where you know, over the next 907 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: twelve months, especially because we've been in lockdown, you know 908 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: what we're going to see, George. We're going to see 909 00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 1: lots of people buying their first times. We're going to 910 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: see lots of people buying property. We're going to see 911 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 1: lots of weddings. We're going to see a lot of 912 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: money being spent over the next twelve months because so 913 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: many people haven't been able to do that during lockdown, 914 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 1: and that is going to put us in a position 915 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: where we sometimes feel a little bit inadequate. You'll be like, oh, 916 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: my gosh, how did Victoria refford a wedding after the 917 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 1: year That was like, you don't know my personal situation, 918 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: and my friend, I do not know yours, But what 919 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: I do know is that I want to celebrate you, 920 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: and I hope that you would extend that same grace 921 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: to everybody else and not see somebody else's achievements as 922 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,880 Speaker 1: a competition, like achievements are not a competition. And I 923 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,400 Speaker 1: said it earlier in the show, A rising tide liftsulships. 924 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: And that's why we always in the Shees on the 925 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: Money community want to embrace your money wins and your 926 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 1: money confessions because I am richer knowing that you're going 927 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 1: through that, I'm richer having those experiences shared with me 928 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: in terms of tips to avoid that g feeling of 929 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: inadequacy or the jealousy that honestly, comparison does breed. Please 930 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,879 Speaker 1: please please pause and remind yourself that you are doing 931 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,880 Speaker 1: a great job. If it's on social media, George, unfollow 932 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 1: those people that you just don't need to see the 933 00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 1: highlights re aulers of Like, at the end of the day, 934 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: that's what social media is. People aren't going to be 935 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: sharing all of the stuff that's kind of crappy. They're 936 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: only going to share the good stuff. And I think 937 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 1: that there's a lot of power in the mute button, 938 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: Like you don't necessarily have to unfollow with them if 939 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 1: they're a friend, I just don't want to see your stuff. 940 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 1: Do cheeky mute Yep, they don't know it won't pop 941 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: up on your feed and you won't feel that gross 942 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: feeling in the bottom of your stomach if that's what 943 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: you're going through.
