Personal Achievements

Hey teacher friend,

Last week, I shared what I want to be known for, and invited you to reflect on your own legacy.

This week, I want to zoom in on a powerful truth:
We don’t build our legacy in one big leap. We build it in the everyday.

The small steps count. Every time you log into your budgeting app, say no to an impulse purchase, schedule that 403(b) contribution, or simply believe you’re capable of more, you’re shaping your financial story.

You don’t need to have everything figured out today. But you do deserve to recognize the ways you’re already moving forward.

So here’s your gentle midweek challenge:
Acknowledge one small money move you made this week.
Name how it aligns with the financial story you want to write.

Your progress is powerful, even if it’s quiet.

Why Reflection Matters

Now that you know this weeks challenge. Its important to understand the "why".

Taking time to reflect helps you:

• Recognize what’s working

• Identify small habits that are paying off

• Realign with your goals (without judgment)

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about noticing progress—like finally setting up that retirement account, saying “no” to impulse spending, or even just thinking more intentionally about money. That’s growth.

Summer Savings Tip

Set a “Fun Fund” goal for July, whether it’s a day trip, spa treat, or iced coffee Fridays. Automate a tiny transfer each week. Guilt-free fun, powered by planning.
