Ever wonder why some people crush their financial goals while others keep hitting snooze? Today, we’re talking about the secret sauce behind sticking to a financial plan—and no, it’s not just “wanting it more” (though that helps). Joining Joe in the basement is OG, alongside personal finance expert Jesse Kramer from The Best Interest and CFP Dana Anspach from Sensible Money. Together, they’ll break down why staying financially motivated is harder than it looks—and how to actually keep yourself on track, even when life (or a killer sale on Amazon) tries to derail you.We’ll explore why people resist financial planning (hint: it’s not always laziness), how goal-setting psychology plays into money habits, and why tracking your finances can be as powerful as tracking your fitness. Dana shares the surprising link between logging your retirement balance and saving more, while OG and Jesse tackle the age-old debate: should financial advisors be more like sports agents—pushing, coaching, and sometimes delivering the tough love? Plus, we dig into why writing things down actually works (seriously, it’s science) and how a simple mindset shift can help you finally take action.And of course, what’s a Friday without Doug’s trivia? This week, Doug takes us back to the boxing ring with a question about the legendary Joe Louis—and the sucker punch that is junk fees. ? Our roundtable throws their best guesses into the ring, but who will come out on top? Play along and see if you can take home the trivia belt!This was a great finish to a week of talking motivation and drive! From the seven steps to dynamic drive to sports agent Molly Fletcher on Wednesday and this discussion, it's a well-rounded week that should help you get up and go...even if you think YOUR get up and go got up and went.FULL SHOW NOTES: <a href="https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/motivation-habits-and-planning-1659">https://stackingbenjamins.com/motivation-habits-and-planning-1659</a>Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at <a href="https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201">https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201</a>Enjoy!
