If you want to think and act like a millionaire, you need to do one thing consistently.
Track.
Every.
Dollar.
Sounds boring?
Maybe.
Sounds cheap?
Not at all.
The truth is, millionaires donβt obsess over money because theyβre afraid of losing it.
They do it because they understand one simple law:
Money you donβt control will always control you.
And hereβs the kicker.
You don't need to cut out every coffee or pinching pennies until your life feels like punishment.
Itβs about awareness.
Awareness creates clarity.
Clarity creates better decisions.
Better decisions create wealth.
I want to show you how to do this in a way that feels empowering, not limiting.
Today, I sat down to do a fresh audit of my expenses.
Itβs something I do every few months.
But today hit differently.
I realized I was paying for stuff that made sense years ago but not anymore.
Memberships on X to get my posts boosted in the timeline. Did they help? A little at the start. But lately, not enough to justify the monthly fee.
Automation software subscriptions that once saved me time. But I stopped using them consistently. They were just quietly draining my account every month.
I canceled both.
When I looked deeper, I found more.
Old accounts.
Tools that looked exciting at first but no longer aligned with my current goals.
After todayβs cleanup, I freed up almost 400 dollars every single month.
Thatβs money I can now redirect into better assets.
Investments that grow.
Tools that actually scale my business.
And you know what?
It felt good.
Not because I saved.
But because I took back control.
II. Why Tracking Your Money Feels Powerful, Not Cheap
Most people avoid looking at their expenses because they donβt want to feel guilty.
But guilt only shows up when you believe youβre restricting yourself.
Millionaires flip this mindset.
Hereβs how they think:
Every dollar is an employee.
My job is to give those employees the right job.
If a dollar is working hard, I keep it there.
If itβs lazy, I fire it and reassign it.
Thatβs it.
When you see money this way, youβre not being cheap.
Youβre being a leader.
III. The Compounding Power of Small Wins
Letβs say you cut $400 a month in dead expenses.
Thatβs $4,800 a year.
Now imagine investing that into DEFI strategies that grow at min. 30% annually (with monthly interest).
In 10 years, that same $400/month adds up to over $293,730.
Not bad for canceling some subscriptions you didnβt even use.
Millionaires donβt become wealthy overnight.
They win by stacking small smart moves over time.
You can do the same.
IV. How You Can Start Tracking Without Overwhelm
Alright, letβs make this actionable.
Hereβs a simple 3-step framework:
Do a Weekly Money Review
Sit down every weekend.
Open your bank app or spreadsheet.
Look at every expense.
Ask: did this expense move me closer to my goals?
Use the KeepβCutβReassign Method
Keep what helps you grow.
Cut what doesnβt serve you.
Reassign those freed dollars into assets or growth tools.
Track in Bite-Sized Categories
Donβt make it complicated.
Break expenses into just 3 groups:
Business Growth
Life Essentials
Lifestyle Upgrades
Thatβs it.
No fancy software required.
Just consistent awareness.
V. Why This Matters For You as an Entrepreneur
If youβre building a business in your 20s, every dollar counts.
But not because you should be frugal.
Because every dollar you control creates leverage.
Imagine this:
You free $200/month by cutting waste.
You put that into targeted ads for your product.
That brings in $800/month in new revenue.
See how this works?
Tracking brings you multiplication.
This is how millionaires think.
VI. My Challenge To You
This week, set aside one hour.

Reassign them.

And more aligned with your vision of financial success.
