"I Am Broke." (Part 2 of 2)
TALK SHOW EPISODE NOTESNo one is perfect. We all have walked an individual path to arrive where we are today in life. If you want to know how to get where you want to go, keep walking. Asking another person how they accomplished their goals is not going to give you “the answer” to how to accomplish your goals. It may help motivate you to keep working towards your goals, but you are living a unique life and your path to success is unique for you. You are the expert on your life.
People have shared with me that they found it illuminating and/ or motivating for me to divulge my explicit failures and how I responded. Thus, this new series, FAILURE FLASHBACK!™ is born. I share some of the tools and processes that I have used to face my failures, learn from them, not repeat them and keep walking forward (hopefully) towards future accomplishments. People will say to me, “Easy for you to say…you don’t know how hard it is!” I do. I share my past in the hope that it prevents you from experiencing the same. This episode addresses my failure resulting in, “I am broke.” (Part 2 of 2) 1) How did it happen? 2) How did I respond? 3) What solutions did I deploy? 4) How do I remain vigilant today? In Part 1 of this episode I shared the shame and fear that consumed me when I was broke. In Part 2 I discuss how I made very poor financial decisions based on unmet emotional needs (envy of how other people lived, aspirational future visions of how I wanted to live). The steps taken to “stop digging” the financial hole, the long term consequences I suffered and the ongoing process today of personal financial management. |
