How I’m Staying Motivated on This Financial Freedom Journey (When Life Is Still a Mess)

2 min
📌 Some days, I feel like I’m crushing it. Other days, I’m just trying not to cry in the grocery-store parking lot.
If you’ve ever whispered “What’s the point?” while scrolling someone else’s success story — I see you.
I’m not financially free yet. I’m not debt-free.
But I’m still moving — and here’s how I’m keeping the fire lit even when life feels like chaos.

✍️ I Started Documenting the Journey (Instead of Waiting to Be “There”)

I used to think I had to wait until everything was working before I could share it.
Now? I hit publish while it’s still messy.

Writing these blog posts, sharing my pins, building this brand — it keeps me accountable and proves my story is valuable now, not just at the end.


🧠 I Stopped Trying to Fix Everything at Once

I picked one focus:

Build a passive-income plan I can run from my phone.

That’s it.
No 10-step plans. No intense budgeting spreadsheets.
Small steps, one mission — that’s what moves the needle.


🎧 I Play Music That Reminds Me I’m Not Done Yet

Some people binge motivation podcasts — I blast songs that hit my soul.
Country, power ballads, whatever line shakes off the doubt and keeps me moving.


🛠️ I Use Tools That Make Me Feel Capable

If a tool feels overwhelming, I skip it. Period.
Everything here — blog, email list, pins — is built from my phone with apps I enjoy.
(When my affiliate links are approved, I’ll share them here.)


💬 I Talk to the Future Me (While Cracking a Dr Pepper)

No meditation app, no pour-over coffee.
Just a Dr Pepper at 10 a.m. and a pep-talk to the version of me who already made it:

“You did it. You really did it. And I’m proud of you for not giving up back then.”

Highly recommend.

💬 Final Thought

Motivation doesn’t come from everything being perfect.
It comes from movement — doing one thing today that brings tomorrow closer.

Even when life is messy, you’re still allowed to build something beautiful.
