“We get in this thinking that, oh, I screwed up today. I'll just start over next month. 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?”
