What I Learned This Week About Money: The Power of Small, Achievable Goals

Hey everyone!

I used to dream about making a million dollars, like that was the only thing in my mind, and honestly, that goal felt huge—way too big to even wrap my head around. I kept thinking that once I hit that number, everything would just fall into place. But the more I focused on the million, the more overwhelming it felt.

Then, I shifted my mindset. Instead of chasing that massive goal right away, I started thinking smaller. Like, how do I get from $0 to my first $10k? I broke it down, made it manageable, and surprisingly, it happened faster than I thought.

Once I hit $10k, I set my sights on $50k, then $100k, and so on. Every time I reached a new milestone, I realized that these smaller, more achievable goals were far more motivating than trying to jump to a million right off the bat.

What I’ve learned is that big goals are great, but focusing on smaller, clear steps has been way more powerful in helping me actually get somewhere. It’s not about having the million-dollar dream, it’s about figuring out how to get to the first few thousand—and building from there.

If you’re stuck on a big goal, try breaking it down into smaller steps. You’ll be surprised at how quickly things can start moving.
