I used to think that financial transformation came from big moves—like landing a high-ticket client, doubling your income, or cutting every expense in half. And while those things do help, what really changed everything for me was way smaller.

It was a habit. A five-minute daily practice.

The simplest, tiniest shift in how I related to money.

And it changed everything.

The Financial Habit I Never Knew I Needed

Let me take you back a couple of years. I was juggling client work, trying to grow my business, and constantly feeling like I should be doing more with my money—but never quite knowing where to start.

I had goals. Big ones. But at the end of each month, I’d look at my bank account and feel this weird mix of confusion and guilt. I knew I was making money, but I didn’t feel like I had anything to show for it.

One morning, out of sheer frustration, I opened a fresh page in my notebook and wrote down two things:

  • What I spent yesterday

  • What I saved (if anything)

That was it.

But for some reason, it felt grounding. Empowering. Like I was finally looking money in the eye instead of avoiding it.

So I did it again the next day. And the next.

What Happened Next Shocked Me

Within a week, I felt clearer. Calmer. More in control.

By the end of the month, I had saved more than I had in the previous three combined.

Not because I made more. But because I was watching. I was aware. I wasn’t letting money slip through the cracks of mindless spending or disconnected decisions.

And the best part? I started to enjoy it.

That five-minute check-in became my daily money ritual. My anchor. My way of saying: “I see you, money. I’m here for this relationship.”

Why Entrepreneurs Avoid This (and Why That Hurts You)

Most entrepreneurs avoid financial habits because they feel overwhelming or shame-inducing.

But here’s the truth: You don’t need to spend hours budgeting. You don’t need to overhaul your entire system. You just need a moment of connection each day.

This habit reminded me that money doesn’t respond to pressure. It responds to attention.

And the more attention I gave it, the more it grew.
