259: Three Ways to Purchase with Confidence

In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, I discuss the importance of making purchasing decisions with confidence, especially during the holiday season.

We reflect on the pattern of expressing gratitude on Thanksgiving followed by a surge in purchasing during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I also share my experiences of making unnecessary purchases.

You'll get practical tips on defining needs, conducting thorough research, evaluating options, and pre-deciding purchasing boundaries. By sharing my insights, I aim to empower you to make mindful purchasing decisions that align with your genuine needs and priorities, ultimately creating a sense of confidence and peace in the decision-making process.
