Now that the New Year has kicked off, what does your Financial New Year’s Resolution(s) look like?
I am not talking about those weight-loss type resolutions we all make after over-indulging over the Festive Season ☺️ ☺️ ☺️
I mean “Real” Resolutions – those I prefer to call “GOALS”
You know those SMART GOALS….
S – Specific
M – Measurable
A – Achievable
R - Realistic
T – Timely.
Genuine GOALS you can pursue with GUSTO and RENEWED ENERGY!
The fastest way to become wealthy is to get control of your largest wealth building tool, which is your income.
And when all your income goes to car payments and credit card payments that have been around so long, you think they’re a pet. When all your income goes to other people that you work so hard for, they have tall buildings and you don’t.
They have fancy furniture and you don’t.
Their executives earn large salaries and you don’t.
Their executives drive fancy cars and you don’t.
Let me give you a few ideas to help you on your journey for 2025.
𝐈𝐅 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒, 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘, 𝟏𝟎𝟎% 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄.
𝟏. 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 (𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭) - No one accidentally wins, they win by being INTENTIONAL,
𝟐. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭 – your most powerful wealth-building tool is your income. And when you spend your whole freaking life giving your money to banks who fill the skyline and they have furniture nicer than yours, that makes you stupid. When you don’t have any payments, you know what you’ve got? MONEY!!
𝟑. 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 – “In the house of the wise are stores of choice, food and oil, but a foolish man devours all that he has.” If you spend everything you make, you’re a fool. You going to get on a plan. Get out of debt. You’re going to live on less than you make,
𝟒. 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭 – you know how rich people get rich? They Save and Invest money. I don’t know if you agree with my investment assumptions. I don’t give a crap if you agree with my investment assumptions or not. You know what my investment assumption is? My assumption is you’re going to be broke until you save money, that’s my assumption. You need to get off your butt and go do something. You need to get up off your assumption and start investing some money. 100% or people that don’t Save and Invest money, don’t have any. And if you get out of debt and you’ll invest and you live on less that you make and you have a plan, then you can do the last one. That’s the most fun you’ll ever have with money,
𝟓. 𝐁𝐞 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 – being outrageously generous can profoundly enrich your life and the lives of others, contributing to a more compassionate and supportive world.

Becoming successful is not accidental. Successful people become successful by being INTENTIONAL, and we’re wondering all along why we are broke.
Because we’re following THEIR plan for THEM and it’s called staying in debt.
It’ll keep you broke your whole life. You’ll work your butt off and you’ll feel like a rat in a wheel. Just run, run, run while getting nowhere. You’re never going to win with money as long as you’re paying payments and making the financial institutions rich.
