Summary

“We don’t get what we want, we get what we believe.” How many times have you got excited about something, then you felt too overwhelmed to even start? Maybe you thought it was too complicated, or that there were too many steps? Most of the time we don’t achieve our goals because we talk ourselves out of them just as fast as we talked ourselves into them. If you want to be successful, don’t make it complicated in your head - because it’s really not. Let’s take this podcast for example. It started with an idea I was excited about. When I started thinking about how much work it was, it was overwhelming. I had to buy a microphone, I had to get software to record, I had to get it edited, find music for it, figure out how to get it published, where to get it published, get it on my website, etc. It was easy to feel like I was trying to move a mountain, but I hired a coach (THANKS, VERNON ROSS!) and found it wasn’t really that hard. I just had to get started and the truth is when the ball is rolling it’s easier to move. You just need to get started. On this episode of Redefining Wealth, we discuss the ways we make things harder than necessary, and we find excuses not to commit. Download this episode now and learn how you can overcome your excuses, and make your goals easier (and more fun) than binge watching Netflix. “Progress beats perfection EVERY single time.” The Cliff Notes: Sometimes we hold ourselves back because we worry about the stress and burden our goals will bring. Don’t talk yourself out of that million dollar idea. Take your dream and simplify it down to something you can tackle one piece at a time. Grace is the condition or fact of being favored. Ease is the absence of difficulty or effort. Nothing has meaning except for the meaning we attach to it. Don’t give yourself all year to get things done. Master fewer things as opposed to giving minimal effort to many things. You have the resources to get to where you want to go - now. Don’t be afraid to weed out people that aren’t a fit for you. “Think of yourself as already being favored to succeed.”

0:00.0	We don't get what we want, we get what we believe. And if we believe that this is going to come with grace and ease, then why can't it? Who said it had to be hard?
0:14.5	Who said I had to struggle?
0:15.9	Who said this would be stressful?
0:17.5	Hey there, this is Patrice Washington from Patrice Washington.com where we chase
0:26.7	purpose not money. Welcome back to the Redefining Well podcast. I'm super excited. We are coming off such an amazing series. I mean absolutely life-changing series. Results not resolutions was fire. I know if you listen to a few or every
0:45.6	episode you totally agree. That's why you're back. And if you're new to the
0:50.4	Redefining Well community to the family.
0:53.5	Welcome to you, so honored to have you here.
0:56.8	A little non-traditional for Personal Finance Podcast,

1:11.1	And so the Results Not Resolution Series touched on our six pillars and we've been talking about
1:16.8	goals for the last several weeks. We've been talking about resolutions. We've talked about going
1:21.7	beyond the norm and just doing a lot of things that might be ordinarily foreign to us.
1:27.0	When we talked about our fitness goals for the year, I'm sure that the episode of Brandy Harvey might have really challenged you.

1:45.3	Paul Brunson and the People Pillar and Egypt Shirad from HGTV talked about the space pillar. I mean she said some extreme things like
1:55.0	clear everything out of a room and then only put back in what you need or love.
2:01.2	I know that could be challenging, right?
2:03.7	Tara with the faith pillar, she talks to us about ignoring the haters and I know some of us can
2:09.2	wait to let our Twitter fingers go to work or we can't wait to get in those comments or have some type of rebuttal for folks or there was so much that entire series was so rich so again if you didn't listen definitely go back but if you did I know and even if you didn't and you've been setting goals and New Year's resolutions that are just stretching you, I know that
2:38.4	knowing you need to buckle down and get stuff done is great, right? But then narrowing down as I hope you've been
