The Importance of Setting and Remembering Financial Goals
It is easy to read blogs, magazines and books on how to save, how to invest and how to earn more. This education and knowledge is wonderful way to improve your financial situation.
I personally find that what to do is not nearly as difficult as the motivation to act and the discipline to keep acting. Eliminate credit card debt. Check. Save more money. Check. Eat out less. Check….
Many of us know what to do but are not acting to our full potential.
It reminds me of a quote from Star Wars sage Yoda – “Try not, do or do not, there is no try”.
We need something to help us do the things we know we must do. We need vivid reminders of why we are doing it.
We need goals that constantly give us the motivation to keep doing the right things for our financial future.
I keep my top five goals on a piece of paper taped to my monitor. I’ve written them on the mirror with erasable markers in the past. I even put them on my screensaver (In Windows use the #D text screensaver).
Remember the reason you are saving, eliminating debt or working hard. It will make the path to financial success so much easier.
