Effective Financial Goal Setting
By Vanessa Summers
High-peak performers are constantly setting goals about possible and probable outcomes for their future. They are consistently breathing life into their dreams and desired outcomes for their life via their goals. We are here not to just be who we are, but to be more of who we are! Financial goal setting allows us to do this and much, much more.
1. Separate your personal financial goals from your professional financial goals. You will be able to address challenges with more confidence that come up with your business because you will have created a good defensible strategy that separates you personally from the 'ebbs and flows' of your busines developments. What are you current multiple residual income plans?
2. Make specifc financial goals. "I make $10,000 per month in cashflow" or "I have $5,000 per month in residual income". Keep it in the present tense. The mind does not know the difference from real or imagined, so be creative!
3. Think from your goals, not to them. If you wish to take your business to the next level this year or seek a promotion, invoke ALL of your five senses to think from LIVING in that place now. How does it feel to walk into your office? What can you taste, touch, smell, hear, see, feel? The more you think from your goals via the senses, the quicker you will invoke the powerful manifistation process to finally arriving at your desired goal.
4. Make a plan to have a portfolio review! Learn if your portfolio of assets performance is currently in line with your goals and objectives. Perhaps there are new investment opportunties to explore given the current economic climate that would be more effective for you toward achieving your financial goals. If you are seeking to find a credible investment advisor to perform a portfolio review for you, please visit my web site at www.vanessasummers.com for a full free portfolio review with one of my team of adivsors.
Remember, if you can't affirm that you are available to manage the $50,000 in your portfolio, how will you ever prove you are ready for more - such as, managing $500,000 or $10 million! One of the key elements to creating Wealth & Success is a consistent commitment to excellence through financial goal setting.
