There’s still time to achieve goals
Get yourself in a great financial position for 2024 We all have goals and desires in life, and there’s no time like the present to achieve them.
As we approach the final quarter of 2023, it’s a good time to look back over the year and the targets we had set ourselves in January.
It’s a sad fact that only a few of us will have accomplished what we set out to do. But why is this the case?
It boils down to focus. There are deeper reasons behind our lack of focus on what we truly desire, but the fundamental cause for our unmet aspirations is that we often relegate them from “must” to “should”.
This phenomenon isn’t confined to New Year’s resolutions – it extends to our lives as a whole.
Many of us have never taken the time to decide how we want to live our lives. Things can often be hectic and we sometimes find ourselves adrift like ships at sea, lacking a rudder and being carried along by the winds of circumstance.
While we can’t control external factors such as the cost of living, global crises and inflation, we can control how we respond to these events and what we attribute to them.
So why not make this year exceptional – one you’ll look back on with satisfaction rather than regret?
Start by asking yourself: “How do I want to live the rest of my life?” It’s a question I often put to my clients.
After asking it, I listen and give them the space to truly ponder what they want. Some seek simplicity, while others harbour grand ambitions.
I’m not here to tell you what’s right for you; it’s your life to live on your terms, and my goal is to assist you in doing just that.
But once you have your answer, write it down. Take time to ensure this is genuinely what you desire, not what you think you should want.
For instance, I often feel I should grow my business and increase my income but, in truth, my greatest fulfilment comes from helping others achieve financial freedom from the burdens of financial worries.
When you’re clear about your desires, jot down the steps you need to take in the next three months to bring you closer to your goals.
I firmly believe personal growth is synonymous with truly living life. Making progress toward your desired outcomes will boost your confidence, happiness, and sense of fulfilment.
I work with clients from various income brackets, from those earning over £1million a year to those with no income. What they all share is a nervous system that influences their decision-making processes.
Ultimately, we all seek growth and aspire to make a positive impact in our lives and the lives of others.
We now have just 12 weeks left until we welcome 2024. Make this year count and decide how you want to shape the rest of your life.
