Work Toward Your Financial Goal
Season 1. Episode 15.
Having babies should be fun and free. If you’re walking this road, it’s likely neither of these things for you. The financial strain that fertility treatment can put on a couple just adds to an already incredibly hard road. In this episode, I introduce you to my friend Adam Parsons. He’s a financial coach over at AP Financial Coaching. Adam and his wife Michelle went through IVF in 2020 at CCRM and just welcomed their precious miracle girl. Over the last year, Adam has become a friend and a trusted resource as we have developed a lot of financial tools to help other couples walking through IVF. We cannot wait to share those tools with you this year.
If you haven’t listened to episode 14, go listen to that first. Once you’ve mapped out a financial plan, then it’s time to work toward your goal. Here are Adam’s tips:
Focus on consistency over perfection.
Do the work on the front end so that sticking to the plan becomes as mindless as possible.
It’s about the pursuit and who you become through that pursuit.
You will feel frustrated in this process. Step away when you need to but come back to the table. Progress happens in the coming back.
Revert back to you why.
When things get hard and you are forced to make sacrifices, this will help keep you encouraged as you work toward your goal.
Get others involved.
Make sure you and your spouse are teammates in this journey.
Get friends and family involved to keep you encouraged.
“If you have your plan in place, I want to encourage you to just keep going. That consistency and the coming back are so important. It’s really hard. If you are feeling the weight of that and don’t know where to turn, get others involved. You’ve done the hard work to create your plan and now it’s time to just keep going. If you need help, get someone in your corner that can help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
