Education, Education, Education.....
I get a unique view of life few of you ever have a chance to see. Having a successful financial consulting practice means I get to see a lot of people….. From every walk of life….from every economic group.
It doesn’t take long before I learn their exact financial situation. I learn it because I ask, and my prospects and clients are happy to share. They’re happy to share, because they know that they could be doing better, they should be doing better, but for whatever reason, they aren’t. And they believe that I’ve got the MAGIC PILL to make everything better.
Do you know who my favorite clients are? They’re the ones who realize that it’s up to them to LEARN what they need to be doing to GROW themselves to be more SUCCESSFUL in life. More importantly, once they’ve learned exactly what to do, THEY ACTUALLY DO IT!!!
During the process, I ask all of my client’s what their top 3 financial goals are. Stop what you’re doing right now, and take a moment to write down YOUR top 3 financial goals.
If you’re like most people, you’ll have a tough time coming up with 3.
Having asked this question to hundreds of people, l realize that few people have the goals, ambition, drive and desire that is necessary to achieve success.
Most people hope that things will turn out for them financially, but they don’t exactly know what to do for that to happen.
What’s sad is that since most people don’t know what to do, the majority of the time the end result is catastrophic!
For example, an Urban Institute analysis offers a sobering look at what can go awry with your retirement plans. It looked at people who were 51 to 61 years old in 1992. A decade later, over three quarters of them had lost their jobs, become widowed or divorced, developed new health problems, or were confronted with frail parents or in-laws. Any of those circumstances can take a bite out of retirement plans, if not force workers to scrap them altogether.
Most of these people are honest, hard working, caring individuals. Yet, they struggle financially their entire lives.
Is this where you’re headed?
Because if it is, you have the opportunity to begin to do something about it right now!
You have the opportunity to focus your attention on LEARNING the skills to reach financial freedom. Financial Freedom is a LEARNABLE PROCESS.
You’re ability to focus on LEARNING what you NEED to learn will determine if you win or lose the money game.
At the end of the day, how much you want something, how much DESIRE you have for something, will determine how much effort you’ll put into getting it. If it’s the RIGHT effort, and you are persistent, you will get it.
You will hear this time and time again from me. Become a life long learner, and equally, become a life long DOER. If you do, you’re results will speak for themselves.
Namaste.

Thanks Jeff,
I have to keep on learning to be a doer.
