286. Put Your Money Where Your Priority Is

Feb 22, 2021 | 0 comments

As you go on your journey to living The ONE Thing, you realize it’s not just about your professional success. In fact, most of it has to do with your personal life.

Money is an important topic for people to set goals around, but it’s also one of the most challenging topics for couples. And when it comes to habits, how do we form habits that allow us to live a lifestyle based on a budget — whether it’s big or small?

Over the past two decades, Jesse Mecham has been on a personal journey to get on a budget with his wife. What started as a way to help them pay for their wedding and newborn baby suddenly turned into a thriving business that has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the globe.

The ONE Thing you can do to get started on your budgeting journey is to look at your checking account and ask yourself “What does this money need to do?” If you can just do that, everything else will become easier or unnecessary.
