You don't have a money problem.
You have a habit of avoiding money-and that avoidance is costing you your peace, power, and future.
In Do the Hard Things First: Master Your Money, bestselling author Scott Allan breaks down the fear, confusion, and emotional blocks that keep smart people broke, reactive, or financially stuck. This isn't another investing manual or manifestation book-it's a no-BS roadmap for building a financial system you actually trust.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
- Overcome scarcity thinking and take ownership of your finances
- Save your first $1,000/month-and your first $10,000/year
- Stop emotional spending and install systems that make decisions for you
- Create a simple, powerful money plan that aligns with your values
- Earn, spend, save, and give from a place of clarity-not fear
You don't need a financial degree to master your money.
You just need to stop avoiding the hard stuff-and lead your finances with intention.
This is the reset.
It's time to become someone who builds wealth on purpose-starting with the habits most people run from.
