Look at your goals everyday!

As I look at my written goals, I realize that they do not inspire me.  Not the goals themselves, but the paper I wrote them on and  the messy penmanship.  This will not do!  How can I stay focused and excited about my goals if they look like this?  So I am going to rewrite them on my computer, use some cool fonts and colors and print them out.  About 4 copies.  This way I can put a copy by my bed so it is the last thing I see at night and the first thing I see in the morning.  I am putting a copy hanging on my fridge, one in my car, and one in my binder labeled Financial Freedom Journal. This way I will be reminded to stay on track, keep my goals in the forefront of my mind.

Make a Financial Roadmap

Now that I have written down my goals and have placed them where I can see them everyday, I need to define where I am at right now.  No, I don't mean where I am physically, but where I am at financially.  I need to write down all that I own and all that I owe.  A balance sheet of my assets and liabilities.  All of my liabilities.  That is a little scary.  To actually face where I am financially.  Ok, here goes..........What, did you really think I was going to write it down here?  No way.  But I will make you a  deal, this time next year I will show what my balance sheet showed for today.  I about fell over when I did it, not quite ready to admit it to anyone else just yet.  

I think of my balance sheet and my goals as my financial roadmap.  Now I know where I am and where I want to be.  Like going from LA to New York.  There are many different routes I can take to get to my destination, but some are more direct than others.  Now I need to decide which route is the best one for me.  I would really like to attain my one year goals as fast as possible!  So I am going to research the fastest route to my goals.  I have actually started that by starting this blog.  I am keeping myself accountable by proclaiming to the world my goal of financial freedom.

Free Suze Orman Book

I just got an email from a friend telling me how you can download a free copy of Women & Money by Suze Orman.  Just go to Oprah.com and click on the tab for a show called 'Suicide, lies, debt: a suburban nightmare".  On the page that will come up is a place where you can download her book.  But just until 8/7 central on June 27.  I skimmed through it and it seems like it has some good information on investing.  I like that she writes so even I can understand what she is teaching.  I am still a newbie when it comes to all that lingo!  

Remember, any money you save is more money to invest!  

Listen to your thoughts

I just saw a lady going through the dumpster at my apartment.  My first thought was that I need to make more money so I won't have to live where I see people trash picking.  Then I caught myself and thought that I really want is to live in a world where people don't have to scavenge to survive.  The difference between the two thoughts is one of scarcity and one of abundance.  This showed me that I still have a way to go in changing my thinking.  But at least now I catch myself and change my focus.  Where focus goes energy flows!  Keep listening to your inner voice and it will show you where you are headed.  I am heading towards abundance.  Where are you heading?

Welcome!

Hi everyone!  I just got back from Wealth Mastery in San Francisco.  It was truly awesome!  I know some of you are going "what the heck is Wealth Mastery?".  Let me start from the beginning.  In August of 2007, my friend and I attended a Tony Robbins seminar called Unleash the Power Within (UPW).  It is his signature event where you walk on fire!  No really, you walk on these flaming hot coals.  It is such an incredible experience.  This whole event was life changing.  My friend and I both signed up for his Mastery University.  This is three more seminars which include: Life Mastery, Date with Destiny, and Wealth Mastery.  I just got back from the Wealth Mastery where I learned,  you guessed it, how to master wealth.  I now have many new tools and strategies to use to attain my goal: Financial Freedom!  And I know most of you would like to achieve this too.  I am committed to sharing what I discover on this journey with you.  I would really love it if you would give me comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism.  I am new to blogs so I hope you will bear with me as I learn the ins and outs.
