Have you set your 2014 financial goals yet?
If you don’t you will never reach the level of prosperity you dream about. It’s all up to you and absolutely no one else. Read on to see how to do it.
Yesterday I started writing my expenses and then wrote my ideal income scenario. I kept it simple so I wouldn’t overload my brain. Here are a few tips I can pass along to you:
- Decide where you want the income to come from (i.e. work, gifts, child support, side gigs, etc.)
- Do a simple breakdown of what you need to do to reach the amount you set. Makes it more concrete. For example: If work goal is $35k year (which is $2,916 gross), divide the monthly amount by your hourly pay to see how many hours you need to work. Do this for your side gig and any other income generating activity you will do this year.
- Believe that when God gives you a vision he will make the provision. (In this case for your finances)
- Hold the vision for your best income level to happen this year. You can’t reach your goal if you are busy thinking negative thoughts feeling afraid.
- Remember it has to be a combination of planning and believing you are worth receiving the income you want.
