I’m sitting at my desk making client calls and generally doing the things I’m committed to do. This has not been that kind of results day you want to tell everybody about though I’ve made sales calls and am sure I’ll get those calls back that will turn into business.
In the background is KKSFmy local light jazz station providing some great tunes that add a friendly and soothing mood to all my work. So picture this, between every call I occasionally hear the advertisements all day about how to buy foreclosure real estate, real estate auctions, credit repair opportunities, financial seminars about making big money in bad times, paying off credit card debt with a magical formula, and on, and on, and well you get the point.
This is what people want to hear about or the adds would be different. so Here’s 5 tips or questions to stay financially healthy as you create your own good news everywhere you turn.
- Don’t Participate - Choose the music, television, as a matter of fact every outside source of general media content, even this the Internet you listen to, read, or watch. Even conversations with others must be controlled. I don’t need to to teach GIGO but I do. People know that what Goes In to our heads will manifest itself in our actions so if it’s garbage, gossiping about life isn’t fair won’t improve a thing, garbage is just what came out!
- People Without A Vision Perish- I strongly recommend you have a plan for all areas of your life that are important to you to make progress in. Life is supposed to be fun, make it that way. Have you ever watched a planning session where the participants were intensely designing how to have things go wrong, fail, blow up, no they don’t do that, it happens with neglect and not staying connected to our vision daily.
- What Do You Want - Right now and at the end of every task or activity during your day ask this question, it will keep you focused on what’s important and not always urgent. Staying active to produce results whether earning income, grocery shopping, party planning, client conversations, banking, and many other things you do causes you to be laser beam focused on results. This goes for all earning and spending choices as well. It’s a good practice to pay yourself before you pay the bill collectors.
- What’s so Important About That - When you answer the question “What do you want” then ask this question but not just once, go 5 layers. Said differently, each time you get the answer, ask it again for that answer you’ve just revealed. Two interesting things will happen: 1) In one of your answers you will encounter money, wealth, or riches, and 2) you will get a glimpse of your life’s purpose (which by the way will not have anything to do with money).
- How Will You Get There - If you are not an organizational thinker you might get somebody who is to be a part of this discussion. Honestly answering this question will yield a sometimes long list of action items or steps in a process of system that will deliver the results you want. It matters not if it’s money, a mate, expensive toys, a position in life, this is where the juice is and so few people actually practice what they learn, they settle for understanding alone which has a shelf life of about 2 weeks tops.
Be one of the ones to practice this and let us all know how it goes - thanks for the read!
