So last time we spoke I talked about the fact that less than 1% of the population set financial goals. It's hardly surprising then that so many people are in such financial dilema. But there's a difference between writing SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timed) and writing goals that have got real emotion behind them. What would achieving your financial goal mean to you? How would your life be different? What choices would it give you? What sort of things would you stop doing and what great things would you start doing? And who else would benefit?
Start writing your goal, first by making the goal in the present, as if it were now. For example it is .............. (put in the date that the goal will have been achieved), then continue by completing I am ..............(this could be something you are doing, or being) and then add in the last bit which is I have ............(something you now own, or have achieved etc).
Once you've done that keep reading it again and again and repeat it tomorrow, the day after and the day after that until the goal is done.
More goal stuff coming shortly.
