Consistency Is The Way To Win With Money

Consistency is extremely underrated in any area of life, but if we think about it, it just makes sense. This is the same concept as the popular fable - The Tortoise and the Hare. We all know the tortoise wins in the end because even though it's slow, it takes one step at a time consistently until it crosses the finish line while the hare knows it's fast so doesn't take the race seriously and goofs off only to find out it underestimated the tortoise.

In this video, I address the topic of consistency when it comes to money, but I use the analogy of baseball and softball, which are near and dear to my heart. We all love the big hit, the homerun, and "swinging for the fences", but the teams that win most often are the ones who use consistency to get base hits and string them together to score more runs. If you go for the BIG WIN (Homerun) all of the time, it may pan out occasionally, but it's consistency over a period of time that usually wins in the areas of money (as well as baseball/softball).

With our finances, we tend to think "homerun". We want that big splash, that windfall of an inheritance, lottery win, big promotion, or bonus. But that isn't common, and that isn't how we win with money. We can't expect to win by just making the big splash once or twice in our lifetime. We need to develop habits like saving money or investing consistently, living on less than we make, using a budget, being intentional, spending wisely, and stringing those good habits together over a long period of time.

We also don't do well on our own. We need accountability and support through this journey so if you need help with setting up your budget, coaching, or a community to surround yourself with, take that step to invest in yourself and start winning with money and in life. https://www.sentinelcoaching.com/coaching
