“Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.” — Lou Holtz

To reach your goals, you need to be consistent with your habits. That saying is a cliche for a reason: it’s true. When you continually put one foot in front of the other, you’ll eventually reach your desired destination.

It doesn’t matter if you want to quit your job, buy a massive house, or travel around the world. To make your dreams a reality, you first need to implement financial discipline.

Here’s how to start.

Determine Your Needs vs Wants.

For a while, I spent way more money than necessary. Every time I went downtown, I treated myself to new clothes, headphones, and meals at fancy restaurants.

I used to buy anything and everything, just because I felt like it. So as you can imagine, my lack of financial discipline made it extremely difficult to save money.
