Sometimes, goals can be daunting. Saving 100.000$ in 7 years sounds like a big dream out of reach. Saving 14.285 $ a year still does. But saving 1.190$ a month suddenly seems like it’s within reach! Getting a second job or finding other income sources can boost your savings fast- and suddenly the 100.000$ saved don’t seem so unattainable.
Breaking it down
Breaking big goals down into small steps helps you staying motivated and believing in yourself. As in the example above, big milestones can seem daunting and out of reach. Breaking them into smaller chunks is crucial for staying on track and feeling empowered to actually reach your goals.
Knowing your potential
You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Yes, there are privileges and limitations within circumstances. But you have the power in yourself to give it your best and reach for your goals. Once you have achieved some of the “unbelievable “ goals you thought were audacious to even dream of, you realise how open the world is and how full of opportunities it is.
Action steps
I encourage you to sit down with pen and paper and to think about and write down answers to the following prompts:
• Where are you now with your finances? (If you need help here, check out my Article “ Financial Status Quo”)
• What is a goal so daunting, so big that it scares you to think about?
• Can you break it down into smaller steps; years, months, weeks?
This exercise will help you get motivated to take action and make concrete plans toward your big, financial goals. For further reading, check out “Why your finances are empowering”.
