About this episode

Victoria and Jess discuss the psychology behind setting and sustaining financial goals, offering insights and practical advice to help listeners achieve their best financial year yet.

Spoiler: Our goal-setting habits are broken. But, it’s not your fault. It’s the psychology we’re raised with. It’s Deep Dive time! And this financial new year, Victoria and Jess are here to help you get out of your own way, so you can start ticking off those EOFY resolutions nice and early. How? By revisiting the psychology behind setting and sustaining financial goals for the year.  During this episode, the girls share insights about how current approaches to budgeting, investing and general goal-setting might actually be limiting our capabilities, plus ways we might overcome this with practical advice from authors Adam Grant and Angela Duckworth. This is less about one quick fix for your best year yet, and more about setting goals you’ll actually stick to. Controversial opinion: They don’t fall apart because the journey is hard, they crumble because the journey is boring.  P.S. Please share your goals with us, so we can a) hold you accountable, and b) celebrate you! BONUS READING: Love the theories introduced in this ep?
