This is an interesting few days here in the U.S… with Groundhog day today and Superbowl Sunday in 2 days, I got to thinking about how both of these events are actually related…
Not because the Patriots keep getting into the Superbowl, or because it is no surprise that we have 6 more weeks of winter, but instead because…
MONEY TIP: If you are not actually IN THE GAME, then every day can feel like every other day (and you’ll feel stuck in the Groundhog day mentality).
Why? Because you aren’t allowing – or supporting – yourself to makeprogress. And you can’t WIN the game of money unless you are actively, consistently, and intentionally playing the “game.”
Progress is reserved for the people in life who take action.
Those who take a stand for themselves.
And those who stop buying into the lie that this reality is how it has to be – and take baby steps even in those moments when they feel stuck and disappointed that the now is not nearly as plentiful as the life they truly want.
(Need some help figuring out what those action steps need to be? Grab one of the last 3 spots to talk with me if you aren’t currently in a program with us and I’ll help you get on track for 2018!)
So, when it comes to your life, and especially your life with money, are you sitting on the sidelines or actively playing the game? Are you ready to see what YOU can achieve with a bit more intentionality and guidance?
On Sunday night, the Patriots and Eagles players on the field will be playing their hearts out. Not just because everyone is watching. But also because they want to see what is possible, what they can achieve, and how winning can celebrate all of the practice, passion, and commitment they have!
Now is your time – and this is your year.
ACTION STEP: Success comes from active engagement. What is one thing you can do TODAY to get in the game? Let me know in a comment below.
THE PAYOFF: You may be living your own version of Groundhog Day – every day. Think of the movie with Bill Murray, where he gets caught in a blizzard that he didn’t predict and finds himself trapped in a time warp – doomed to relive the same day over and over again until he gets it right.
Now, you are not doomed BUT you do need to separate yourself from the groundhog day mentality all around you that keeps you stuck on the same financial hamster wheel every day, week, month, and year – struggling a little more than you need to because you may not have ever been adequately trained in how to manage your money.
Let’s stop this cycle once and for all THIS YEAR – let me know what you are going to do to make sure you stop reliving your own version of Groundhog Day – and what you can (or have) put in place to model the Patriots path to victory.
Comment below – I want to hear from you.
I am literally cheering you on and here to guide you along your progress!
PS> Did we set up a time to talk yet?
