Fitness Workout for Your Financial Muscles
So you bought the financial freedom books, but your bank account
has yet to reap the rewards? Consider this:
Your financial success can be developed just like a
muscle... and if you're not seeing results, you may be on the
wrong "financial fitness" plan.
You were running on a treadmill to trim some "financial fat."
The result? Your wallet got "skinny." You weren't building your
financial muscles. Why not?
Much like a good muscle-strengthening or exercise program, you
need expert training, inspiration, and a "financial workout"
that's tailored to your specific goals.
Following are five of the Greatest Financial Challenges
people typically face in their lifetime. Take the financial
fitness challenge and see what muscles you need to start
strengthening!
(Note: please consult a Financial Fitness Professional before
attempting any of these exercises.)
Challenge 1. "I'm afraid to take financial risks."
Financial Fitness Solution: Develop your Courage
muscle.
If you're sitting around waiting for the "right" stock or real
estate to invest in, you're dealing with the symptom, not the
source. Consider that people who have acquired wealth are not
smarter or luckier. They have developed the financial muscle
called Courage. Here, Courage refers to acting in spite
of your fear. The fear doesn't get smaller, your confidence gets
larger. As your confidence grows... so does your ability to make
financial decisions that lead to increased wealth!
Challenge 2. "I just don't have enough money to do what I
want, when I want."
Financial Fitness Solution: Develop your Desire and Belief
muscles.
There are many factors that are at the source of not having
enough. For starters, the financial muscles to develop are
Desire and Belief. The mere presence of your
Desire is evidence that you have the capacity for its
fulfillment. If you have Belief that your Desire
is possible, then there is no question of "if," but rather "how"
and "when". How can I achieve what I desire, and
when can I start seeing positive results? The best-laid
plans for success begin with the Belief that you can do it and
the Desire to make it happen!
Challenge 3. "I'm constantly worried, stressed and
frustrated about money."
Financial Fitness Solution: Develop your Attention
muscle.
If I told you that you had a winning lottery ticket and the
numbers would be called someday this year, would you be worried
or excited? Most would say excited. The financial muscle to
exercise here is Attention: where are you focusing
yours?
Race car drivers are taught to always look in the direction they
want to go. If you look at the wall, you will drive into the
wall.
Put your Attention on what you want... and you'll
get more of what you want. Stress, worry and frustration come
from looking (now) at what you don't want to happen (in the
future), and believing that what you don't want will actually
happen. Get better control of your financial Attention muscles,
and start driving your finances to a state of continuous
growth.
Challenge 4. "I just can't get control over my finances
and spending."
Financial Fitness Solution: Develop your Purpose
muscle.
Going on a spending "diet" as a measure of "control" over your
finances is limiting rather than expansive behavior. The
financial muscle to start developing here is best described as
Purpose. Your Purpose, for example, might be a long-term
plan for financial acumen. If you have a Purpose that's broader
in scope than your day-to-day financial survival, then you won't
need "discipline" or "control" over your spending. Instead of
thinking in terms of what you can't do, you'll begin to think
opportunistically as to what you CAN do, as part of your
Purpose. Thus, you'll choose to spend based on what is most
aligned with this Purpose.
Challenge 5. "I just can't get my finances in order."
Financial Fitness Solution: Develop your Integrity and
Responsibility muscles.
The most underdeveloped financial muscles associated with
financial disorder is Integrity and
Responsibility. Integrity & Responsibility requires that
you be accountable to the promises you make to yourself and
others. Borrowing and bill-paying are forms of promises you
made. When you break those promises, you will find yourself in
disorder or clutter. Develop the financial Integrity and
Responsibility muscles to keep these promises and you
will find order. From order comes structure, and from this comes
a financial fitness plan for building long-term wealth, success
and happiness!
You've got Step One in a Fitness Workout for your
Financial Muscles... Now What?
This Financial Fitness Plan is only a place to start. If
this were training for a marathon, you have just learned the
warm-up routine for the 26.2 mile run. The real
source of your financial challenges or success is your
emotional relationship to money.
You just learned some truths about finances, and you may be
wondering how to develop these financial muscles and what's the
next step in your personally-tailored financial workout. Contact
