And if you're anything like us, that quote gets you all hyped up. But it's easy to gloss over the part that says "there is no effort without error and shortcoming." Well, after our time in Knoxville, we can confidently say that we're not among the "cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat"…. because we've gotten a hefty dose of defeat! 😂 So in this episode, we're sharing five things we learned through our experience, and how we're applying those lessons to our visioning process moving forward. ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ CYMS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@CraftYourMoneyStory Twitter: https://x.com/nickdtrue

#92: I have lots of clients forward me videos or articles about the latest world crisis and how it's going to affect interest rates, the stock market, inflation, etc. Whether it's hurricanes, election news, federal interest rate cuts, or any other number of things - they're stressed out and worried about how it's going to impact their money. I always use the exercise in this episode to help them avoid stress spiraling and use news headlines to their financial benefit... ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

#91: The most common words we hear from new clients are "stress" and "overwhelm." There's just so much going on, money seems to be flying everywhere, and life feels out of control. Without a clear course of action, we tend to stick our heads in the sand and ignore our financial concerns... until something major happens and we're forced to deal with our situation head-on. If you're ready to face your overwhelm and start getting ahead with your money, this exercise is for you. ____________________________ https://mappedoutmoney.com/ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

#90: Is your budget more of tracking tool than a decision-making tool? Do you find yourself stealing from your longer-term goals to cover overspending on things like clothes, trips with friends, or kids' birthday parties? You're not alone. Establishing the budget is one thing, but sticking to it is something else entirely. There are so many "good" things to spend our money on. How do we make sure we're not overspending on the good and neglecting the great? We're here to discuss some tips that have helped us and Nick's clients use the budget as a decision-making tool to stay on track with our vision and values. Thanks for watching!

#85: A lot of our decisions make people raise their eyebrows. But since we regularly discuss, reassess, and adjust our life vision and budget, we're able to confidently leave behind a lot of "good" in order to work towards the things that are "great" to us.

#83: Trying to have discipline without meaningful direction is absolute drudgery. Nick and I know from our first few years of marriage... it was during that time that I started calling him "No Fun Nick." 🙃 Thankfully, we've learned some things since then. Now we have a regular routine of assessing our vision that fosters unity in our marriage, especially with our financial decisions.
