How can you reach a money goal when theres always something else vying for the limited funds you have?
Thats what were considering this week.
Its a question I ask myself on a daily basis.
And the truth is, saving for any goal is going to be hard.
Unless you were born into a wealthy family, the chances are you probablycantdo it all.
So somethings gotta give.
There are always trade-offs.
Then, youre going to need to find a way to motivate yourself.
The last part, to me, is key.
And on and on.
Why is that important to you?
Write it down somewhere, and then write down some concrete steps you could take to reach it.
Then…
Do the Work
The hardest part of all of this is actually doing the work.
Often people circle the same problem day after day, year after year, and they dont change anything.
Then they complain and want simple solutions.
Every month, you have to slowly, but steadily, chip away at it.
Build a savings habit.
Put aside something (anything!)
Pay off any debts you have.
Learn the basics of investing and building wealth.
Work towards your goal.
when you obtain those building blocks in place, youll be able to better meet your goals.
It might not happen overnight, or even within a year or two years.
But withconsistency, youll get there.
To stay motivated, divide your one Big Goal down into smaller goals.
We need to finish something, check it off our list, to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Doing so gives us the hit of dopamine we need to keep going.
Then keep track of your progress, in a journal orapp.
Whatever you choose, remember consistency is key.
Along the way, youll cut things out that arent as important to you.
Youll learn this by trial and error.
