155. Willpower and Discipline Aren't the Answer, but This Is

from Inside Out Money · host Maggie Tucker

We’ve been told all of our lives that willpower, discipline, and more inner fortitude are what we need to accomplish just about any goal, but what if it’s not? True financial freedom doesn't actually come from trying harder; it comes from situational agency and designing an environment where your money takes care of itself while you are busy living. We explore why willpower is the least effective tool in your kit and how high achievers simply experience fewer temptations because they have pushed away the distractions. By automating the path of least resistance and creating friction for your impulses, you can stop fighting your environment and start fixing your systems to fund the things you actually love.Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://www.insideoutmoney.org/155-willpower-and-discipline-arent-the-answer-but-this-is/
