The 15-minute rule: Set a timer. Dot points are welcome. One honest sentence beats a perfect paragraph you never write.
Before you begin
You are not writing a financial textbook.
You are writing to someone you love. Write exactly how you would speak to them over coffee.
Your Stories
Stories 1-8
Before you start
Finish this sentence. One line is enough - you'll already have started.
"When did you first realise that working hard alone wasn't enough to build the life you wanted?"
Need some help remembering?
- -A specific moment. A pay slip, a conversation, a colleague who seemed to be playing a different game
- -How old you were and what you were doing at the time
- -What changed in your thinking after that
If nothing comes to mind, describe the first time you felt financially behind and what you did next.
15 minutes. Aim for 100-200 words. One or two sentences is enough to start.
Handwrite it in the book. Use your notes as a guide, not a script.
Tick the checkbox at the top of this card to mark the story complete.
Not today? Two minutes. Three honest dot points. That's enough for today.
