Step 2: Give a score to each financial goal you have defined
Give a score between 1 – 10 to each of the financial goals you have defined. The score can be 1, 2, 3….10. Score 10 means you are very excited and you will feel really good when you achieve that particular financial goal. Score 1 means that you are not excited at all about achieving the particular financial goal.
Step 3: Decide on which financial goals you should focus
In this step you decide on which goal you should focus in the upcoming 6 months. The financial goals that have an 8, 9 or 10 as a score are the financial goals which you should focus on. Put your energy and time in the financial goals with a high score (8, 9 and 10).
The financial goals with a high score means that you are very excited about them. You feel really good by just thinking about them. Your level of belief to achieve the financial goals with a high score is high.
Do not spend your time, effort and energy to the financial goals with low scores (score 1 – 7). Low score means you (still) have doubt to achieve these financial goals. Build your confidence first and than go for them.
Step 4: Make a massive action plan
Make a massive action plan for the financial goals with score 8, 9 and 10.
Step 5: Implement the plan
Implement the plan. Be committed for your financial success. Your commitment level should be: ‘whatever it takes’. To be great and have greater level of financial success, you must be willing to do whatever it takes.
Step 6: Periodically monitor your progress
Periodically monitor your financial progress! Are you committed with your financial goals? Are you progressing?
Based on these 6 steps you will make a decision that is in line with your heart. Furthermore you will take the most logical next step towards your financial success!
