FINANCIAL PLANNING
& FITNESS SUCCESS
Research shows that improving your health often leads to improving your wealth. Fitness and Finances are closely related and adhere to similar rules.
By combining his passions for fitness and finances, Mike believes that working toward a more robust future financial well-being is very similar to working toward better future health. They both take a long-term view, making more good decisions than bad ones over a long period. They also require an attitude of no shortcuts to success, whatever your definition of success may be.
Following the Fit Financial Approach structure will help you understand what you truly want out of your life and define what success looks like for you. This book provides real-world strategies and valuable tips you can use to create the habits necessary to build the life you’ve always wanted – in both fitness and wealth.
Among many other things, you will learn that fitness is a lifestyle, not a means to an end. Fitness in both health and wealth is something to love and enjoy, not something to “get through”, so you can go on with the rest of your day. If you find a fitness routine or a cash flow that you can comfortably live within, stick with it over time and enjoy your lifestyle.
Both health and wealth rely on a long-term view and short-term decisions. The research has shown that improving in one of these areas will subconsciously have you improving in the other. The speedbumps and roadblocks standing in your way are also the same in both areas of life. The simple truth is this: spend less than you earn and eat less than you burn. — These are the building blocks for both health and wealth.
If I said yes, would you believe me? The truth is… habit modification is not easy at first. Fit Financial Approach provides the scientific means to both change habits and create new habits around the goals you seek in life. You can start using the actionable ideas presented right away to make your habits easier to maintain until they become second nature. Once these new habits become your lifestyle, the new, more positive habits will become difficult to change. Then you can’t help but succeed over time!
The Fit Financial Approach provides the framework for defining your success, planning your path, and building new, necessary habits. This book also provides the primary education necessary to begin your journey in health and wealth. I’ve created helpful, related resources like the Fit Financial Test and the debt calculators to support you in assessing your current financial state and help you decide the next steps to take financially. There are physical calculators and worksheets to support your fitness journey as well.

The overlap between health & wealth
People can save up to $6,000 per year with healthier habits.1
An affluent 25-year-old will live six years longer than someone the same age who is less financially secure.2
People who take at least 10,000 steps a day are more likely to maintain a budget.3
As of 2010, up to half of premature deaths in the U.S. are due to preventable factors such as poor diet and lack of exercise.4

"Seriously, everyone from teens to seniors should read this book. It's insightful, straightforward, and completely honest about basic building blocks of knowledge in health and finance, the current perceptions and truths in the industries, and best practices to improve your life from day one in these areas. The author takes you through some mindset exercises first so that you are better prepared to read and absorb the content from a place of open-mindedness and willingness to make change. I started implementing small, beneficial changes as I was reading, and I plan to read the book again to glean new ideas from it that I may not have picked up on the first read."
"The Fit Financial Approach provides an intentional, every-day approach to improving both your health and your financial plan. Examples and stories along the way help bring big concepts into digestible bites that you can implement tomorrow. The balance in Mike's approach leaves you encouraged and motivated to make small changes that will result in a big impact. This is a book that you can always come back to when your health and wealth start to drift away from your priorities. Just like exercise and savings, you have to make this book a priority."
"If you are looking to get rich--or buff--quickly, this is not your book. If you want long-lasting financial and physical health, though, look no further. Broker knows both fields well, and he shares his no-nonsense advice to help others reach their goals. This book simplifies the complicated, and it provides the motivation to WANT to make a change and a practical approach to make it happen."
