Yes, a new year has begun. Great intentions are being set – and many already forgotten.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes the difference between resolutions that stick and resolutions that quickly fall by the wayside.
Last week, I provided a ton of valuable info on setting you up with a new system for your mail along with finding the time to review and handle it all – addressing some of the BIGGEST stressors that I see people have with their bills – even before it even comes to paying them! But the key is… have you put these life-changing (and relatively easy) tips into place?
MONEY TIP: Nothing will change unless you do. Consider this Albert Einstein quote…
“We cannot solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
So something in your mindset needs to shift to begin to create different results – with a new solid commitment to actually complete them this year.
Here are some questions to ask yourself now…
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily while others are destined to struggle?
Is the difference in their education, intelligence or skills?
Do they have the right timing, contacts or luck?
Or is it their choice of jobs, businesses or investments?
The shocking answer is… it’s none of the above.
Unfortunately, most people will never achieve what they want financially – or if they do, it may only be short lived.
Why?
Because there are big differences in the way highly successful people think and make decisions, as compared to people who just scrape by.
ACTION STEP: Start today to take charge of the actual thoughts you think. Sounds a little woo-woo maybe, but the reality is that if you watched someone else speak to a family member the way YOU speak to yourself, you’d be horrified and never put up with that!
Yet, you do it to yourself every day, and it is actually sabotaging many of your positive efforts with your money.
For the next 24 hours, write down what you are saying to yourself about…
* your money (and the managing of it),
* your worthiness and deserving of wealth,
* your behaviors and habits around money, time, and organization,
* your business/ career success, and last but certainly not least,
* your future when it comes to savings, retirement and realizing your goals and dreams.
If you are intrigued by what you are finding, then feel free to continue for the 6 days, so you can see just 1 week of the 52 as a solid example.
Let me know what you say – and especially what may have surprised you about what you say – to yourself in the comments below, or in a reply email to me.

PS> If you run a business, and make a profit, don’t forget that your final estimated taxes for 2014 are due today – federal and state.

Here are the rules for quick reference so you know how to be handling your estimated taxes — for 2014 and 2015.
