Summary
For years now I’ve been preaching here that money management is simple, and I do hold to that. But, while it may be simple, that doesn’t mean it is EASY. Financial success takes time, sometimes a long time, and it can be difficult to keep the faith and stick to it for a long time. In today’s show, we’re going to talk about how to keep going when the voice in your head when they tell you to quit…

| 0:00.0 | Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money podcast session number 133. A little voice inside of me is saying, |
| 0:06.6 | this is a bad idea. This is a very good idea because this is the podcast dedicated to |
| 0:19.1 | helping you put your finances in order. My name is Pete Matthew |
| 0:22.5 | and I'm going to share with you everything you need to know and everything you need to do to |
| 0:26.1 | secure your financial future. I'm here to help you make sense of money. |
| 0:37.2 | Welcome back folks. Here we are once again and I'm dying of hay fever. It's October, |
| 0:42.2 | and I don't know what that's about. But it's very likely that throughout this show, I'm going to have to |
| 0:47.8 | stop several times and sneeze and blow my nose. So I'll spare you the trumpeting noise down the |
| 0:53.2 | microphone. So if I have to pause, I'll tell you. |
| 0:56.5 | But for years now here on the show and on the website generally, I've been preaching that |
| 1:01.6 | money management is simple. I do hold to that. There's not really a great deal to it. But while it |
| 1:08.6 | may be simple, that doesn't mean it's easy. Very different things, |
| 1:11.7 | of course. Financial success takes time, sometimes a long time. It can be really difficult to keep the |
| 1:18.0 | faith and stick to it for a long time. So in today's show, we're going to talk about how to |
| 1:22.2 | silence the voice in your head when it tells you to quit. Okay,led this session, You versus You, inspired by one of my |
| 1:31.1 | online heroes, Pat Flynn, and a talk he did recently of the same name. So this is how to sort of silence |
| 1:36.5 | the voices which are telling you that you're not going to make it, that you're not going to achieve |
| 1:39.9 | the financial goals that you've set for yourself. So stay tuned for that. As usual, after the main |
| 1:44.2 | body of the show, I'll look at a recent review that's been left, announce what we're going to be |
| 1:47.3 | talking about next time. Okay, but before we get into any of that, remember, this podcast is brought |
| 1:52.2 | to you with the very kind help of my friends at Seven Investment Management, which is a firm |
| 1:56.8 | of investment managers based in London. Seven I. specialize in multi-asset investing, |
