Happy New Year 2014

Hurry and make your New Year's resolutions before the night is over.  2014 is the beginning of a new year and a fresh start.  Time to let go of the past and plan for the future. 

What will you do different that you did not do in 2013?  What would you like to change in your life as we bring in a new year?

For me, I want to read more, blog more, become wealthier and of course loose a few pounds.  Leave me comment below of your 2014 changes or resolutions and how you plan to make this year better than the last.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

What is Your Motivation?

Have you ever said to yourself “I would do this If…” Or “ I would be a better person If” Or “No one ever told me that”.  Or one of my personal favorites “I would have more money If”. Whatever your excuse, it is time to realize that IT IS JUST THAT….An Excuse! 

WOW!! Are you getting tired of the excuses?  Are you getting tired of giving yourself a free pass for poor performance?

Not sure about where you are in life or what types of people you have around you or have had, but I have heard all of the above and then some.

I’m just frustrated that people find reasons not to fix their own life.  I mean if you can’t do it for yourself well, who can you do it for?  There is a verse in the bible (not sure where) that says something like, he who is faithful in what is least is faithful in much”.  Which means today that if you can’t manage your life earning 1500/month how in the world are you going to be responsible for $5,000? 

Is it the lack of money that is the problem?  Or is it the lack of understanding of how to MANAGE the money? People automatically assume that their money or financial problems are tied to how much money they have.  And that’s simply not true. 

A person’s money behavior is deeply rooted in your psyche.  I laugh when friends say things like if I had more money I wouldn’t be broke or if I had more money my life would be better…..REALLY? 

Did you change anything in your life?  Did you all of a sudden gain insight on your own financial behavior so you could stop making the same mistakes?  NO, You Didn’t!  This simply means that you are bound to continue to have the same problems with $1500 as you do with $5,000.  You are destined to repeat the mistakes you have already made until you learn how to change your money behavior.  You my friend are a poor money manager with bad spending and saving habits.

If having more money and being able to do more with it is your motivation then it is time to Invest in your financial education.  Once you understand where you are in life you can improve.  
Let’s not go any further until I share with you the book I read that is helping me to change my life and finances.  This book has helped me improve my life and given me more money guidance that I ever received in school.  And that includes college.

The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker is a great way to start your financial education.

Now I don’t just want you to think about managing your money. I want you to also think about managing your time. What do you do with it all day?  What is motivating you right now to go to work, school, build a business, buy a house, move, change jobs etc.?

Most people go to work to earn money.  The money is to pay bills/rent/mortgage/car note/tuition.  Money is a necessity of life but it should not be the only thing you strive for?  Think about the things you can do with the money the places you can go.  There has to be more than just earning it. 

Let’s go back to my example of earning $1500/month.  How well are you managing your money?  Do you live within your means?  Are you putting money aside in a savings or investing it in your retirement?  What about a business, are you making any money outside of your daily j – o – b? Well I can safely tell you that if you are spending all your paycheck each week and you do not have a business that’s making any money and no savings or retirement then you probably are a poor money manager and could benefit from some financial education. 

To that I say stop making excuses for why you don’t have the money you want and begin to change the things that you can.  We must learn to manage what we have in order to get more.  I am no expert, but I am on a path to better my own financial education and have improved my finances and money management over the last few years.   

Okay, for those of you that are already on the path and understand how to manage your money.  Start increasing your wealth with investments, businesses or other streams of income.  Below is a link to get you started. Then as you begin to grow you will change your mindset and change your life and those around you.

 Education & Money

Where do you want to be in six (6) months?

The year is half way gone.  Memorial Day was last month and soon we will be celebrating the 4^th of July.   Most people don’t remember their New Year’s resolutions and definitely have not completed them.  

 What do you have to show for your results of 2013?  Was it to lose weight? Was it to go back to school?  How about finding a job or perhaps leaving one?  For me it has been to blog more, which as you can see by my lack of posts that hasn’t happened.  

 How do we ever decide what our resolutions are, who keeps track?  In my opinion the things we promise ourselves at the beginning of each year are the things that are typically important to us and the things we have been putting off. 

I have been putting off writing my first e-book.  To be fair, I have started the book but I have been putting off completing it.  So one of my 2013 resolutions is to complete my first e-book.  The book is one of the many steps I have taken toward my financial freedom.  (Financial Freedom, another discussion at another time).  So back to my original question; 

 Where do you want to be in six (6) months?

Now is the time to take stock of where you are in your life and where you want to be.  Often times we get caught up on the treadmill called life.  That treadmill goes around and around without actually going anywhere.  Think about this for a few minutes: 

 How many times have you asked yourself why am I doing this?

Why am I here or;

I wish things were different. 

We make comments about our lives and say things like if only I had more money.  If only I had more time.  If only I knew then what I know now I would have done things different…..IF ONLY!  

         

To that I say STOP! Stop wasting your breath on what will never be.  Stop wasting time on things you cannot change and STOP looking everywhere else for the answers that can be found inside you.

    

The best gift we can give ourselves over the next 6 months is a clear purpose.  By purpose a singular goal to focus on and achieve.  The goal can be part of many goals.  But the main result from this is to be able to focus all our energy in one clear direction to accomplish something. 

 Students entering college as Freshmen have many goals. Their primary one being to finish the 4 or 5 years of college and earn a degree.  This can be a long journey but as long the student continues to work towards the end result they are moving forward.  Who doesn’t want to feel like they are making progress? 

Goals and resolutions can be fluid as in go back to school, then change jobs then make a 6 figure income.  They can be fixed as in Lose 40 pounds.  It could be as simple as that or complicated.  As in go to Egypt to see the Pyramids then shop on Gaza Strip.  

My point simply is that we must learn to put our energy and time into achieving the things we want from life.  A fairy Godmother is not going to waive a magic wand say Hocus Pocus and make your life better.  We have to do that on our own.  You will be amazed how easy things become when we continually work to accomplish our goals in life.  

If this seems like a foreign concept to you then you should read “The Secret of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker.  This book has inspired and helped me to realize more of my potential.  Reading this book will help you to understand how your mind can be your best friend or worse enemy.  Here is a link to Barnes and Noble.com   Here is some information from my Peak Ambassador website, Millionaire Intensive

 And now here we are back again to my original question. 

 Where do you want to be in six (6) months?

Grab Your Calculator

Grab your calculator...

Here's a number that'll shock (and depress) you ...

Hi Everyone,

Most people I know believe that's it virtually impossible to be a millionaire.

I used to think so, too.

Then I did a bit of math ...

I pulled out a calculator. And I added up how much money I've made since I started working.

It took a while ... but the number SHOCKED me.

Because when you look at everything you've earned (and will earn the rest of your career) ... it's mind-boggling.

Just imagine that you've earned $50,000 a year for the past decade. That's a half-million dollars that's come in - and gone out of - your bank account!

It made me start wondering ... "where on earth did all my money go?"

I started searching for answers. And I discovered a 6-part money management system that has transformed my financial life.

It can help you take control of where your money is going, too. And you can learn it for free during an upcoming training webinar...

You may not realize this, but ... most people don't know the proper way to manage money. At most, you get advice like, "save 10% of what you make" or "sock away 6 months of income for an emergency reserve."

But that's not nearly enough if you want to be financially free.

During "Financial Freedom Formula," you'll discover the answers you're missing ... including:

*       5 critical elements in the Financial Freedom Formula ... and why missing even 1 of them practically guarantees you'll never be financially free
*       The most commonly overlooked reason you haven't achieved financial freedom ... and the surprisingly easy way to fix it (hint: this one has nothing to do with how you manage your money)
*       What you must have first if you want to be free to do whatever you want with your time ... without worrying about earning a living
*       The 2 primary sources of income that you can develop - without working - and which is best for you
*       Tricks for properly calculating what it will really take to support your desired lifestyle
*       Why spending money is essential to financial freedom ... and the must-follow rule about how and when you must spend it
*       The deadly mistake that many business owners make with their income ... and the critical change that can triple the speed with which you achieve financial freedom
*       2 proven approaches for couples to manage their money ... and tips to ensure that neither partner feels resentful
*       The right way to divide your investment money to properly manage risk
*       What you must prove you can do before you'll be able to attract more money
*       Why putting every dime you can find toward paying off your debt is a huge mistake (in fact, it dramatically increases your chances of ending up back in debt)
*       And much more!
