Ever wondered how trust plays into your financial and personal relationships? In this episode of 'Financial Sobriety', Matthew Grishman and Jim Gebhardt are back to guide you through the essential steps of building and maintaining trust. They revisit the crucial concept of the '5 to Thrive', a cornerstone for establishing trust and deep connections. This isn't just about money; it's about how you interact with the people around you and, ultimately, with yourself.
Matthew and Jim break down trust into two actionable parts: creating trust and keeping it. Creating trust involves being open, honest, and vulnerable—yes, even when it's uncomfortable. It's about showing gratitude and taking responsibility for your actions. On the flip side, keeping trust means being accountable, staying true to your word, and consistently showing up for others.
Throughout the episode, they dive into the five principles of thriving relationships: being trustworthy, keeping commitments, being honest, saying no when necessary, and finishing what you start. These principles aren't just theoretical; they're practical steps you can start implementing today to improve your relationships with money, people, and yourself. If you're looking to deepen your connections and build a more intentional life, this episode is packed with insights and real-life advice.
