Do you ever think, “If I can’t save $500, what’s the point of saving anything at all?” Or “If I messed up my budget once, I might as well give up”?
That, my friend, is all-or-nothing thinking, and it’s quietly sabotaging your financial progress.

In this video, I’m sharing how to break free from the perfection trap and finally make progress with your money (and your mindset). Because truthfully? Small, consistent steps matter more than perfect ones.

👋🏾 I’m Bola Sokunbi, founder of Clever Girl Finance, author of the Clever Girl Finance book series, Choosing To Prosper, and My Wealth Plan Workbook.

What you’ll learn in this video:

– How to stop giving up on your goals when things don’t go perfectly

– Why flexible budgets work better than “perfect” ones

– How to reframe your negative self-talk about money

– The importance of celebrating small habits, not just big milestones

– The power of adopting an “all or something” mindset

💡 Whether you’re saving, budgeting, paying off debt, or trying to build consistency with your finances, this video will help you stay on track without shame or guilt.
