The year 2010 is here. I face it with the accumulation of the moneyseeking skills I learnt last year, all the research I've done and books I've read. My financial intelligence has improved, particularly in the area of property, and this will be the year when I step into the battlefield once more to make further acquisitions.
I want financial freedom. My mentor Mr Piper has it. He is a multi-millionaire and can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. He is not a slave to money, but it's master. This is a goal which will take many years, even as it took Mr Piper many years. It will be a long walk to freedom.
For 2010, I'm going to set goals for every area of my life, and work to attain them. In January, I will have my yearly money review, where I will re-evaluate all of my finances including: my Will, my current investments, and everything to do with my moneyseeking, to ensure that I am still on track, and to highlight areas I could improve. The book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People says this is the habit of sharpening the saw. If I don't do it, nobody else will do it for me.
One of my main goals will be to overcome procrastination, and take as much action as I possibly can. I've seen how effective Mr Piper is by taking so much action, therefore if I can improve myself more in this area, I think it will make the biggest difference to my moneyseeking, and to all other areas of my life. I shall devote more of my time to the study and practice of making quick decisions, taking fast action, and doing much of it.
My financial resolutions for the Year ahead (2010), are as follows:
To always seek the best and cheapest deals.
To always check at least 3 different shops before buying anything.
To stick to my monthly budget.
To only buy food and snacks from supermarkets (because it's significantly cheaper than convenience stores and fast food places).
To not carry any credit cards, debit cards or cash on me when I go out, unless I have a planned purchase in mind.
To overcome procrastination, and research and act on financial decisions quickly.
To purchase at least one investment property.
To re-assess my will, and change it if necessary.
Life is a journey and you will usually never get anywhere until you decide where you want to go, and then start taking steps to get there. My road ahead leads to my financial freedom. Which road have you decided to take?
