Your Financial Vision For Life!

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe impossible things.”
“I daresay you haven’t much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age. I always did it for a half hour a day. Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Alice in Wonderland
Right now is one of the most powerful times in our human history.
Are we going to shine despite terrorism, stock market collapsing, pink slips and an over all sensation of some sort of despair or other.
Believe me when I tell you I too have been riding this ride out of turmoil and have some insights to share with you….Your questions in this time of transition and market conditions might be:
*Can I start a business?
*Can I get hired into my dream job?
*Can I semi retire right now?
The answers are yes if you are willing to work from the inside out.
By that I mean, creating a vision that comes from your soul’s purpose…literally answering in the quiet contemplation, “Who am I?” and “Why did I come into this life….what is my life’s purpose?”
Vision is defined as:
A clear sense of purporse usually expressed in a few words that guides and sustains actions and feelings particularly in a time of crisis…
It truly is important to remember that mountains are climbed one step at a time.
Recently my daughter and I climbed Mt Si and guess what? We did it one step at a time for a magnificent accomplishment!
“It is not how much we do, but how much love we put into the doing. It is not how much we give but how much love we put into the giving. To God there is nothing small.” Mother Theresa
Reestablish your goals:
This is clearly a time of spiritual, financial tuning up…
What is it you truly came here in this lifetime to do?
Now is that time to build your ideal business.
Start one step at a time rebuilding a retirement fund.
Or…
Begin the process of simplfication of lifestyle.
(AKA living within your means)
No matter what our VISION looks like here are the skills we will need to proceed…
1. Kaizen: The art of taking a small step to climb a mountain
2. Clear Priorities
3. View Life On a Large Scale
4. View Actions as a Service and Gift to Others
5. Optimism
6. Articulate
7. Acceptance of Mistakes
8. Passion
9. Curiousity
10. Set reasonable goals
11. Make outrageous Requests
12. Give of your time in the community
13. Give of your talent in the community
14. Give of your treasure in the community
(Without thought for personal or professional gain!)
Together we create a financial vision of life that will sustain us…
These are if you can believe it just the baby steps for creating a Purposeful Financial Vision of Life
Our classes at Maple Valley Money go into much greater detail and the next one is Thursday, February 25th at The DaVine…Join Us!
