Financial Victory Or Victim

In his usual ‘make it simple’ style, Robert Kiyosaki has explained the how the financial crisis was built into the system.

His explanation, without making history the issue, but keeping the focus on our personal financial education, serves to highlight how vitally important it is to keep the balance in this area of our lives.

Finances can contribute to stress in our lives and relationships, but a solid, educated plan can keep us living as “victors rather then victims”.

The Secret

We are heading for another New Year, and another bout of New years resolutions. Come january the 1st, many will be faithfully ‘swearing’ to “Never again…” and ” From now on I will…”.

But by the end of the month, these oaths will have fallen by  the wayside.

So what is the secret to these ever elusive resolutions we so passionately wish to accomplish?

Firstly, we  have to recognise that many set resolutions or goals for the New Year. Now whether they are the right one’s or not is not the issue right now, what is important is actually achieving or successfully accomplishing that which we set out to do.

Secondly, if we don’t we will again arrive at the end of another year only to find we are exactly where we started the beginning of the year. So, we celebrate and set some more resolutions, but actually we are running on a treadmill of life, mundane is chasing us, frustration is driving us, lack of success is weighing us down, and lack of know-what-to-do is holding us up, while all the while stress is killing us quietly.

What do we do?

• The path to goalsetting must be broken into bite-size chunks. Resolving to run a marathon this next year  is great, but you won’t get there if you do not start with a few steps and then a few yards and then a few miles everyday. What can you start doing oin the 1st of January that will carry you to you New Years resolutions?
• Have a written plan. If you don’t write down your action plan the end results will always only be a wish, that will be restarted year after year.

• Have an accountability relationship. Request, hire or maybe just beg someone to ‘walk’ you through your journey to accomplishing these desires and dreams you utter as resolutions. This relationship can be the conscience that you need every week to hold you accountable to the plan you have written, and the actions you have decided on.

Three simple things that can move you forward to the end result and the accomplished goal.

If you really want to move forward this next year a persoanl coach can be a real asset who will walk with you.

Happy New Year

Starting Over?

This video I just viewed on Ecademy is so close to my heart.

Starting over when you down and out at 50. It could be anyone. it could just be that you have lost everything, maybe not financially, but certainly there are many areas that we can find ourselves at a loss. It may be a loss of motivation, a loss of family members, a loss of friends, a loss of desire, a loss of will, regardless of the loss, it is important to remind ourselves that there is always a way. There is always another opportunity lurking just ahead.

Begin to dream. Do not let the past, highjack your future.

As we focus on our dilema it adds stress to the situation and sucks the creativity right out of us. Never lose hope….there is always a way!
