Leveraging Gilbert's Law

TIPS: HOW TO PREPARE FOR FINANCIAL SUCCESS

- Gareth Collier

Ever felt like you're meant to take control of your money but aren't quite sure where to begin? You're not alone.

Stepping into the world of personal finance can be overwhelming. The thrill of taking control of your financial future is often met with an unsettling question: where do I begin? There's no set handbook and no universal blueprint for success because each person's goals and responsibilities are unique.

This is where we can turn to a surprisingly relevant idea: Gilbert's Law.

Gilbert's Law states: "The biggest problem with a job is that no one tells you what to do." While originally describing the ambiguity often found in the workplace, the same principle applies seamlessly to personal finance. In both cases, the absence of clear guidance can lead to confusion, inefficiency, and frustration.
