The Foundation: 101

Get organized.

Beginning this process can significantly improve your present. Completing it can change your life.

It might sound silly to say it, but in order to begin the journey you must…actually begin.

This post is about starting. It’s about taking one step in your financial journey.

Money is a funny thing. We need it to live. But we shouldn’t live for it. If we allow that to happen, we miss out on so much more of what life is really about.

While we shouldn’t live for it, this is also true: we definitely need to pay attention to it. Most of us, however, do not do this on the level it deserves.

It doesn’t need our attention to keep us from other more important things of life. On the contrary, the attention we give it should instill a level of freedom and confidence within us that makes the life we live more fruitful.

So in the spirit of buying yourself more time. More freedom. More confidence…let’s get to work.

You don’t need every answer right away.

You need one step.

One small start.

This is step 1 of the playbook. The Foundation, 101: Get Organized.

Pay attention

Here’s the role of The Playbook in The Wayfinder Money Club:

It exists to help you appropriately pay attention to your money, one-step-at-a-time.

The end goal is that you have a working system for your money.

Here’s what it costs you: one season of taking action.

Here’s what you will end up with: a system that is simple, clear, quickly accessible, and mostly automated. One that can scale with you as you move through life as well.

So you’ll build it once. Then let it run while you live your life.

Pay closer attention now. It will allow you to pay less attention later.

As a quick reminder, here are the 5 sections:

1. The Foundation - build your budget

2. The Dream - define your purpose

3. The Design - bank accounts, saving, investing

4. The Autopilot - automate almost everything

5. The Lifestyle - start easy habits to keep you in control
