What if the secret to a wealth wasn’t a massive overhaul—but improving by just 1% at a time?I've experienced the power of 1% daily improvements and how small, intentional changes can compound into life-changing results—especially for teachers working with limited income and high demands. Tiny adjustments in spending, habits, and mindset can dramatically shift your financial trajectory over time.In this episode, you’ll learn:-Why small changes matter more than big, unsustainable ones-How 1% daily improvements compound in money, health, and habits-My personal shift from “already frugal” to intentionally frugal-Practical examples of 1% improvements teachers can make today such as food spending, utilities and energy use, transportation costs, and insurance and retirement contributions-How to apply the 1% rule month-by-month without burnoutThis episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t require perfection—it requires consistency.
