So let's get started, all right. 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: Step one is to define your financial goals with precision 37 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: before we do anything. We need to get crystal clear 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: on your financial goals. Not just these vague goals and 39 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: ideas and dreams like save more money or pay off debt. 40 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: We need specific, exciting and even slightly scary goals, but 41 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: with lots of detail. In fact fine detail. And also 42 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: these goals should make you feel exhilarated, but also push 43 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: you and stretch you out of your comfort zone. Think 44 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: of it like this. If you woke up on the 45 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: first December twenty twenty five, what financial achievements would make 46 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: you feel proud and powerful? Write down the first things 47 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: that come to mind, and keep adding to that list. So, 48 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: for example, you might think, well, I would have built 49 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: up my emergency savings and have ten thousand dollars, say 50 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: by the first of March. Or i would have paid 51 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: off all my credit card debt finally by the thirtieth 52 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: of June. Or I'm investing five hundred dollars per month 53 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: into my portfolio and I've actually steadily increased it to 54 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty dollars per month by September the fifteenth. 55 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: Or I've started one hundred dollar per month salary sacrificing plan. 56 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: Or I've paid off the final eight thousand dollars off 57 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: my hex debt by the fifteenth of October. Notice how 58 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: these goals have a lot more detail than these previous 59 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: payoff debt save more money ones. They now have exact 60 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: dollar amounts, and they also have exact deadlines, and they 61 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: also have direction. The money knows exactly where to or 62 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: land in a particular savings account, investment portfolio, superinnuation account, 63 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: HEXTEBT or credit card, and everything feels so much more 64 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: intentional and with a clear sense of direction and instruction. 65 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: And also everything's written down. And it's not only just 66 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: written down, it's written down and this is a really 67 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: important thing to grasp heer. It's written down in the 68 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: present or past tense. Now, the reason I recommend doing this, 69 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: that is writing in the present or past tense, is 70 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 1: it helps you feel more accountable. It triggers immediate action 71 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: and stops those silly pipeline dreams when we say or 72 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: when we say or think I will or one day 73 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to, or I would really like to, which 74 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: just basically drags the chain. It's like dangling a carrot. 75 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: We never actually really pull a finger out and create 76 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: that immediate action that is required for our goals. So 77 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: whin do your goals? Write them as I am paying 78 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: off my credit card, I am building my emergency money, 79 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: I am investing not this, I am going to, I will, 80 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: I plan to, I want to. My goal is to 81 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: make it in the present tests or even better in 82 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: the past tests. I've started investing five hundred dollars per month. 83 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: I have started putting one hundred dollars per week into 84 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: my emergency savings account. Again, remember you need the landing destination, 85 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: the account, the superreineruation account, the investment portfolio, the credit 86 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: card debt, the HEXTEP whatever it may be, the amount, 87 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: and of course the deadline, the exact deadline to the day. 88 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: Now for bonus points, you can add your y in 89 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: and your next goal in to your existing goal. For example, 90 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: I will have my emergency money of ten thousand dollars 91 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: in my xyz bank account so that I can start 92 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: building my share portfolio, which is the start of earning 93 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: passive income for financial freedom for myself and is going 94 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: to help alleviate so much stress in my life. See 95 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: how with that one simple goal of saving ten thousand 96 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: dollars for emergency money has so much more depth and 97 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: gravity to it. We have added like a bit of 98 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: magical powder to that goal because we have explained in 99 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: that goal what is the reason why, and of course 100 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: the benefits from those goals alleviating the stress in your life, 101 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: building up passive income, feeling that sense of financial freedom 102 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: and independence. So we have included to recap the exact 103 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: amount the deadline. We've written it in the past or 104 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: present tense. We've included our why, and we have sprinkled 105 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of I guess motivation even to put 106 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: in the next goal, so you can start to see 107 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: the flowing connection between financial goal to financial goal. Now, 108 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: the moment you've gotten clear about your goals and you 109 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: feel pumped start working on them, I recommend putting them 110 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: down in order of priority, ideally if possible, from small 111 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: to life. Just for example, goal number one would beat 112 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: it clear off the toxic credit card debt. For example, 113 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: if you have that, the next goal would be to 114 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: build up your emergency savings. The next goal would be 115 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: to start investing. The next goal would be to save 116 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: up for a home or renovation or you know, an 117 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: elaborate holiday. Now, there are a couple of reasons why 118 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: I recommend having it in this order of priority, ideally 119 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: from the smallest to the last. So the first reason 120 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: is by setting small and achievable goals at the top 121 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: of your list, you feel so much more confident to 122 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: actually start working on those goals. You actually feel empowered 123 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: to get started because they're not ones that you can 124 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: really procrastinate. They're achievable. You'll do them. It's like you know, 125 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: when you do your list of things to do in 126 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: the morning, we always tend to gravitate towards those quick, easy, 127 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: simple ones. First, that is perfectly fine. The second reason 128 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: why I recommend you do this is it allows you 129 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: to quickly tick off the first goal off your list, 130 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: because you're starting to build that important momentum to build 131 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: upon for further success. And then the third reason why 132 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: I recommend this list of priorities and ideally smallest to largest, 133 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: is that by completing the first one or even the 134 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: second two goals quickly, you can then have less distractions 135 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: and even more resources to then channel and focus that 136 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: time and money to sink your teeth into the bigger 137 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: goals of yours. So, going back to that example, clearing off, 138 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: say the three or four thousand dollars of the credit 139 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: card debt, we can quickly focus and hone in on that. 140 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Then that money that we were using to pay off 141 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: that credit card debt, we can then use to channel 142 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: towards building up the emergency money savings. And then moths. 143 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: We've done that. All those tactics and strategies that we 144 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: were using to clear the debt and build the savings 145 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: can now be completely channeled into investing and planning for 146 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: saving up for a home or what are the other 147 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: big goals left on that list. It builds up momentum. 148 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: It's like a trickling effect, and more goals you can 149 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: tick off your list, the more trickles you can then 150 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: use for those bigger goals. So you get to really 151 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: sink your teeth into the bigger goals with so much 152 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: more efficiency. Now I'll talk about this and be in 153 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: a bit more detail further into this episode, but this 154 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: is one of the most powerful techniques I have used 155 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: myself personally for many, many years. So let me know 156 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: how you go with writing your goals in this way. 157 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: Perhaps you've done it similarly, or perhaps you've done it 158 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: completely differently. But if you have a go at applying 159 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: these principles, I'd love to hear feedback from you as 160 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: to how you now feel in writing your goals in 161 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: this particular manner. All right. Step two, create a bird's 162 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: eye view of your financial calendar year. This is my 163 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: biggest hack here and I'm really excited to be able 164 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: to share this with you. So what I recommend you 165 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: do is take a twelve month calendar. You can print 166 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: one or use a calendar I like to use Canber 167 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: and you start to map out your goals month by month, 168 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: or for the bigger goals, perhaps quarter by quarter. So 169 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: for example, when I shared my goals for twenty twenty five, 170 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: one of them was to build up our emergency savings, 171 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: and then the other one was to go on holiday 172 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: quickly to New Zealand skiing, then to focus on renovating 173 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: our home, and then the last one was to invest 174 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars into shares. So I've written in 175 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: that order from smallest to the largest, and obviously in 176 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: a list of priorities. So what I have then done 177 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: is actually put those those goals to focus on throughout 178 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: the year. I've color coded it, so from January to 179 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: March it's purely about building up emergency money. Then from 180 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: April he's focusing on making sure we have our holiday 181 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: completely paid for before we go on and we've got 182 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: spending money, lift passes, accommodation, everything is sorted. Then for 183 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: the period of May to August, it's pretty much focused 184 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: purely on renovation savings, and yes there will be some 185 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: flexibility with this, but again I'll come to that sort 186 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: of being open and making tweaks and changes as needed. 187 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: And then pretty much from September through the end of November, 188 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: he's focusing on their debt reduction strategy and of course 189 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: the investing, so I'll be using a debt recycling strategy. 190 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: So what I've essentially done is color coordinated my year, 191 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: so I know what is the key topic, the key 192 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: focus for that particular block of time. So for yourself, 193 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: you may want to focus on paying off the toxic 194 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: debt between now and say much. Then for me to 195 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: June you want to focus on building up emergency savings. 196 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: My key point here is that you are intentionally blocking 197 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: out periods of twenty twenty five so that you can 198 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,359 Speaker 1: have almost like a power session and really focus exclusively 199 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: on one goal at a time. And by setting like 200 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: dedicated periods of time allowed before you start actually beginning this, 201 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: you can also ration out your resources so much more 202 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: intentionally and mindfully and get a greater sense of the 203 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: year ahead and really what has to be achieved and 204 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: what is really involved. By you to help make these 205 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: things happen. It really does give you this bird's eye perspective. 206 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: Is all the wonderful things you are serious about achieving 207 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: and doing and growing into even and how you're going 208 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: to ration your time and your resources out to give 209 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: it the best opportunity to succeed. And for me, the 210 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: biggest thing is the biggest benefit for this is and 211 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: why I love this particular approach is it stops me 212 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: from trying to achieve every thing all at once and 213 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: then getting completely overwhelmed with pretty much little or no 214 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: real progress. So it allows me to really just focus. 215 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: And you need to remember that while you have a 216 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: key focus or even a block, you can at the 217 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: same time put some things on autopilot. So, yes, I 218 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: have cleared out you know, January through March is dedicated 219 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: purely to our emergency money. But at the same time 220 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: I do have small regular savings plans in place, for 221 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,599 Speaker 1: example for our holiday savings account. So some things, or 222 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: whilst I do have a key focus, I can have 223 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: a few things in the background on autopilot. And these 224 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: include things like regular investing plans, extra mortgage repayments or 225 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: even soury sacrificing into superannuation if you want. And as 226 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: I mentioned, I make this really colorful. And now, as 227 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: I said, you can download a free template that I've 228 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: can created and use this as a guide to copy 229 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: even if you like to build your own bird's eye 230 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: view of twenty twenty five for your financial game plan. 231 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: But using contrasting colors, for me, particularly someone who has 232 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: ADHD and really struggles to focus, I can really sort 233 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: of see the different blocks very click clearly, I'm not 234 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: doing two different shades of green back to back. You 235 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: know you will see when you have a look at 236 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: this yourself the bright colors that give me that bird's 237 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: eye view and help me understand how I have to 238 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: stay on top of everything, but also really avoid getting 239 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: distracted and trying to achieve other goals at the same time, 240 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: which as I said, ends up being with not really 241 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: much progress to be proud about. Now, step number three 242 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: we need to reverse engineer you'll success. So once you've 243 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: mapped out your goals, you're excited. They scare you, but 244 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: you could see an inkling of it. You're actually achieving 245 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: these things brilliant. We now need to start looking at 246 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: the practical steps that go and you've got them plugged 247 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: into your calculator, so you're calculator, you've got them plugged 248 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: into your calendar, your color coordinated, and you're building this. 249 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: So now what we need to do is work backwards. 250 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: Work backwards in that we need to break the big 251 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: goals down, or even the little goal down, into smaller 252 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: actionable steps. For example, that goal to save ten thousand 253 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: dollars by the first of March, You've got to break 254 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: that down. What does that realistically look like between now 255 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: and that goal being achieved. So, for example, that might 256 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: be around about say three three hundred and thirty three 257 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: dollars per month that I'd have to save to an 258 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: order to hit that goal in that block, or perhaps 259 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: it's a smaller amount you know that I can more 260 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: achievable stretch over slightly bigger time. Just make sure you 261 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: are just your block so that your deadline is realistic, 262 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: but also you're not allowing a potential opportunity to become 263 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: lazy or complacent. Now, of course we can only save 264 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: so much. You know, for me to save a million 265 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: dollars is unrealistic because I don't know a million dollars, 266 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: and we have to live and pay taxes and all 267 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: those things. So this is where you would then again 268 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: go back and see what additional things you can do 269 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: to help increase the success for the achievement of that goal. 270 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: What expenses can you cut, what income can you increase? 271 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Other things you can sell? Are there any automated payment 272 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: savings plans or reduction plans that you can put into place? 273 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: By actually working backwards, looking at the goal and going 274 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: what do I need to do to achieve that goal 275 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: in this time is essential? So for example, take that 276 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: number that you need to save, divide it up between 277 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: now and the date that you want to achieve it, 278 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: and that will then give you an idea as to 279 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: how much you need to be doing in small, mini, 280 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: bite sized goals to achieve that. If you look at 281 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: it and go, well, I still am going to be short, 282 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm not going to achieve that goal. That is when 283 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: you look to booster your income, sell things, hustle all 284 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: those and things, and you really need to spend a 285 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: dedicated amount of time thinking about each goal individually and 286 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: how you can really help make that happen within the 287 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: calendar block. This is going to require some brainstorming. It's 288 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: not going to be an immediate ten minute job and 289 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: you go, Okay, I just need to do this, and 290 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: it's sure it might happen that way, but if your 291 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: goal really is a stretch or their goals that really 292 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: excites you, it's going to require some time of thinking 293 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: outside of the square, getting creative, and continuously adding ideas 294 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: to your list as they come up to help you 295 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: achieve that goal potentially sooner or over achieve that goal 296 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: where you end up saving twelve thousand dollars instead of 297 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. And the big thing is with ideas, 298 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: you've got to jump on them other ways they expire, 299 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: jump on them, action them. And a great tip is 300 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: to actually write down these ideas, these light bulb moments 301 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: on your calendar so that when you look at your calendar, 302 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: not only can you see the colored block, you can 303 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: also see a list of ideas that you're going to 304 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: be working on to help make that goal happen within 305 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: that defined period of time. And you can also get 306 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: excited when you look at this calendar as the next 307 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: corresponding goal is to help build that momentum, and you 308 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: can channel some of those ideas that worked into the 309 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: next corresponding goal. And remember this, no idea that you 310 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: come up with is silly. In fact, some of the 311 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: weirdest ideas that I've ever come up with when it 312 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: comes to your hustling up some extra money, have been 313 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: the biggest and best strokes of genius. Okay, so let's 314 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: sound work on to step four. And that's actually doing 315 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: the inner work, even doing a little bit of inner 316 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: child work if you like. So when you look at 317 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: your financial game plan and you look at it through 318 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: a personal growth point of view, you can really transform 319 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: the personal growth with yourself and actually really see yourself 320 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: evolve into a wiser person, a more resilient person, and 321 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: also even a calmer person. So there are a couple 322 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: of key questions I recommend you ask yourself. The first 323 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: one is is who do I need to be to 324 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: achieve these goals? Do you need to be more disciplined? 325 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: Do you need to be more organized? Do you need 326 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 1: to be more proactive? What are the mind shifts that 327 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: you need to work on, strengthen and evolve in order 328 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: to be able to help yourself achieve those goals? And 329 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: that's the key word, help yourself achieve those goals. We 330 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: really need to cut that stupid, toxic, negative self talk 331 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: around money. We become what we think about. So you 332 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: need to learn how to feed yourself the positive attributes 333 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: that really actually do exist within you, and learn how 334 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: to turn up the volume with those. The next question 335 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 1: you need to ask yourself is how am I going 336 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: to actually track my progress? Am I going to do 337 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: a weekly check in? Am I going to do quarterly reviews? 338 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: I am going I use an app or a spreadsheet. 339 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: I'm going to find a mentor or a friend that 340 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: can help make me accountable. These are the things you 341 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: need to ask yourself, and of course, what are the 342 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: daily habits that will help success? Set me up for success? 343 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: I recommend you read your goals morning and night. I 344 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: recommend that you speak to yourself in a very positive 345 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 1: way about your future. Instead of saying I'm not good 346 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: with money, say I'm learning about money. I'm working on money, 347 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm improving my financial situation day by day, and I 348 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: feel proud, I feel excited about what the future lies 349 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: ahead of me. The energy of those words are incredibly powerful, 350 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: and people will start taking you far more seriously. The 351 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: other thing I recommend is doing one small thing every 352 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: single day it might be just one dollars to that 353 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: savings account or one dollar towards your hextead. It seems silly, 354 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: but that habit system is incredibly powerful, and things like 355 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: habits like checking your budget through the Sugar Mamma Budget 356 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: and cash Flow Academy recommend you check your budget twice 357 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: a week. But you're not just checking your budget, You're 358 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: also checking your transactions and your cash flow. So these 359 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: small habits three hundred and sixty five days of the 360 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: year can be incredibly powerful and you can build upon them. Sure, 361 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: it might be one dollar being transferred to your HEXTEBT 362 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: or your savings, a calendary, your home loan, but tomorrow 363 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: it might be ten dollars. Again, these things really do 364 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: add up, and it sends a powerful message to yourself 365 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: in the universe about how serious you are about twenty 366 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: twenty five being your year to shine financially, and of course, 367 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: where you can automate good financial behaviors regular savings plans, 368 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: dividend reinvestment plans, automatic savings, automatic debt reduction, even speaking 369 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: to your employer about how you can potentially pay off 370 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: your hex debts sooner, salary sacrificing so all of these 371 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: small actions compounded can create massive results. And any of 372 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: those keywords that you come up with in asking yourself 373 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: about who need to be to achieve your goals, I 374 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: recommend adding them to this calendar template that I'm going 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: to give you because you can write down disciplined, early morning, riser, motivated, educated, 376 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: write those keywords to trigger you and remind you to 377 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: then have those real, true, authentic actions in your life. Again, 378 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: I've created a little section within this template so you 379 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: can use it for yourself, so you can really see 380 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: about the internal work, because that's going to help this 381 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: type of behavior and action happen organically when you feed 382 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: yourself the right magical ingredients as to who you really 383 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: are and allow that true essence of yourself shine for 384 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: your financial goals. Now on a quick note of the 385 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: whole deep dive of yourself. If you are looking for 386 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: a financial mentor you are looking for someone to help 387 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: keep you accountable, I run a program called the Sugar 388 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: Mama Money Mindset and Manifestation Program. This is where you 389 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: can have access to me, not for financial advice all, 390 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: but someone can help you talk to about your motivation levels, 391 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: can talk to you about your money mindset can help 392 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: you brainstorm ideas as to how to potentially hustle up 393 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: some extra money in your life. You essentially can lean 394 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: on me as support and it's a once off fee. 395 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: You have lifetime access to me. And of course you're 396 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: part of our group and we all share the goals 397 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: that we're working on, the things that we're doing with 398 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: our mindsets to strengthen and inspire each other, how we're 399 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: coping with setbacks and challenges which are naturally part of 400 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: the way, and what we are learning and growing and 401 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: discovering along the way. So I will link the details 402 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: in the podcast notes for you if you'd like to 403 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: have access to that, because that obviously then gives you 404 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: access to me. But a quick remind aid's not there 405 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: for financial advice. That is completely separate. Okay, So all right, 406 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: let's move on to the next step number five, and 407 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: that is sexy shortcuts to fast track your progress. All right, 408 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: So not all progress has to be hard. You can 409 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: actually have a lot of fun achieving your goals. You 410 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: can get creative with your approach, your mindset, and your strategies, 411 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: things like using reward points you know, to help pay 412 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: for those holidays that you want to go on. Most 413 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: of our trip to Queenstown skiing has been paid for points, 414 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: that is the flights. We also took taking the kids 415 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: out of school holidays which has saved us about thirty 416 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: percent off or accommodation. I'll go and prepay all of 417 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: our lift passes and ski lessons and book all of 418 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: our gear and look for some great package deals. So yes, 419 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: a holidays expensive, but I've found creative ways to help 420 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: really bring down the cost. So you get clever, be smart. 421 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: Also things like utilizing cash back programs like cash Awards 422 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: and shot Back that gave you money back and also 423 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: give you sometimes access to great discounts you can also 424 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: then you know, when it comes to things like home 425 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: loans and investment loans, is look to refinance around doesn't 426 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: cost you anything to refinance. The mortgage broker does everything 427 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: for you and you can often negotiate incredible terms where 428 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 1: you are saving tens of thousands of dollars in interest 429 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: and of course time you get back time because if 430 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: you apply those savings to your new orger repayments, you'll 431 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: see that home loan come down so much faster. And 432 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: it's not just homelands call up your gas company, asks 433 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: them for a discount. Energy company, call up foxtelp not 434 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: unfortunately in the Netflix, that would be great if they'd 435 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: offer a discount, but there is. If you don't ask, 436 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: you don't get, And the squeakiest wheel always gets fixed first. 437 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 1: So don't be afraid to ask for a discount. Let 438 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: people know that you're shopping around, and then shop around 439 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: if you find a better deal. Loyalty tax is expensive. 440 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: You don't need to become victim of it. You don't 441 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: need to be ripped off. It's probably a better way 442 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,479 Speaker 1: of saying this. Also in getting creative, look at things 443 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: you can declutter or sell. According to Gumtree, the average 444 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: Australian household has five thousand, two hundred worth of unused 445 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: items in their home, sitting there gathering dust. Do a 446 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: garrete celle, do a massive gum Tree listing or a 447 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace. Look to offload those things to make some 448 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: quick cash. But put those that cash that you make 449 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: immediately towards those goals. Otherworlds, you'll get tempted to spend 450 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: it on something else. That's where procrastination and distractions and 451 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: something you know, shiny, glossy and new pops up in 452 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: your life, you think, oh, I'll just use that to 453 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: pay for that. No, this is about making progress for 454 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, doing things very differently and really building 455 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: up your self, doing that inner work to actually see 456 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: and feel proud about what you're achieving for yourself. And 457 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: of course, if we're looking to earn some extra money, 458 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: and we really is limitless to how much extra money 459 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: we can create, look at selling your time or your skills. 460 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: Are you good with a photographer as with a camera, 461 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: Maybe you could do some mixture photography work. Are you 462 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: great at designing websites? Do you love dogs? And thinking, 463 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: you know what, I could do some dog walking, or 464 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: I can do some dog sitting or house sitting, perhaps 465 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: babysitting nannying work. You know these are some of these 466 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: things are cash in hand their quick immediate payment that 467 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: can be really helpful to help you save money and 468 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: achieve more with your financial goals and get things done 469 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: so much sooner. Things like you know, if one of 470 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: your goals is to start retiring and planning a retirement 471 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: sooner and you want to get more money to super 472 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: go and educate yourself, learn about the co contribution scheme, 473 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: learn about salary sacrificing, spouse contributions, all these things that 474 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: are out there available to to help you achieve your goal. 475 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: Educate yourself. If you need more savings, perhaps you need 476 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: to get more organized with your taxes and make sure 477 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: that you haven't left anything off the table when it 478 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: comes to your legal deductions and helping maximize any potential 479 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: possible tax refunds. If you need more money but you 480 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: want to earn more, maybe you need to speak to 481 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: your manager or your boss about a promotion, or now 482 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: you need to look at maybe just getting a new job, 483 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: changing jobs. We all know that that is when when 484 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: we change jobs, change companies. That is normally when we 485 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: get the biggest and best pay rises. Perhaps it's time 486 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: for you. No one really sticks around for fifteen to 487 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: twenty years anymore. And if you need to save more, 488 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: of course, go to your budget. Focus on what you 489 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: can cut down, what you can cut out. A great 490 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: example is this I did literally recently as I was 491 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: looking at our grocery bills because they were starting to 492 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: blow out again, and I was not impressed with myself. 493 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: So I returned back to my good old trusty HelloFresh 494 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: and it saves me so much time, it saves me 495 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: so much money. And I know for myself, I can't 496 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: walk into a supermarket and buy one thing, even though 497 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: I only need one thing. I walk through the aisles 498 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: as everyone else does. Oh that's on special. Oh we'll 499 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: grab that whilst I'm here, walk out the door, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 500 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: fourteen extra things. So by having think something like for me, 501 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: and this is not sponsored by HelloFresh at all, but 502 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: in me getting creative and looking at how we can 503 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: save money, the fact that I have something on my 504 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: doorstep means I don't go to the supermarket. I also 505 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: don't waste time going to the supermarket. I'm cooking a 506 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: meal within the house without literally not even need to 507 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: delete the front door. So all these little wins are 508 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: going to help accelerate your progress, and often there are 509 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: the nuggets of gold that can help you tick your 510 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: goals off in a really efficient way. In that dedicated 511 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: color block that I spoke about again, all these ideas. 512 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: Add them to your calendar notes so you know exactly 513 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 1: what you need to do and get done for that 514 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 1: goal for that block of time to watch that financial 515 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: goal flourish. All right, Step six, Build accountability and automate 516 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: for success. Find an accountability friend, a partner, or even 517 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: an online community and check in on a regular basis weekly, fortnightly, monthly. 518 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: And I said, if you want to work with me, 519 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: you can join my money Mindset manifestation program community where 520 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: we share all of our goals, and as I said, 521 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: you get that direct access to me to help work 522 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: on those goals. No financial advice, as I said, but 523 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: I will definitely help you with your motivation levels and 524 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: your money mindset and you can pick my brain. We 525 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: can talk about your goals, discover your why, and also 526 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: help clear any money blocks that you might have that 527 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: are lingering around now. When it comes to building accountability 528 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: and automating for success, as I said, automatic savings plans 529 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: and investment plans are great because they take away the 530 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: need to require and rely on willpower. But there is 531 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: a word of warning here. Please be careful. Automatic debt 532 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: repayment plans, savings plans, investing plans, stary sacrificing plans. Even 533 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: it can help maybe make you dangerously comfortable over time. 534 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: So whilst you may have automation like cooking in the 535 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: background for those bigger goals. Whilst you focus some power 536 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: through your immediate short term mini goals, please make sure 537 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: that the moment you tick any of those short term 538 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: goals off your list, that we reassess those savings plans, 539 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: debt repayment plans, or investing plans even so that you 540 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: can potentially increase your plans and create even greater success 541 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: and efficiency in your life. So, for example, you might 542 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: have a two hundred dollars per month regular investing plan 543 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: going on in the background because one of your bigger, 544 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: longer term goals is to build an investment portfolio. In 545 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: the meantime, you're focusing on paying off your credit card 546 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: debt on building up savings. What I'm trying to say 547 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: is the moment that credit card debt is paid off, 548 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: any resources that you have freed up, start looking at 549 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: whether you should potentially increase now your regular investing plan. 550 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: So you might think, you know what, I've just paid 551 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: off my credit card debt, great, I'm now working on 552 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: my emergency money. I'm going to maybe look to increase 553 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: my regular investment plan from two hundred dollars per month 554 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: and out of two hundred and fifty dollars per month, 555 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: make sure you're using your money intentionally, and never get 556 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: to a place where you feel comfortable or complacent about 557 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: these regular payment plans, because that is often then a 558 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: sign that we could be stretching and pushing ourselves slightly 559 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: further for even greater success. And then step seven, stay 560 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: flexible and adjust. All Right, Yes, we have these clear 561 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: blocks for twenty twenty five sitting in front of us, 562 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: but life happens. They're going to be setbacks, and they're 563 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: going to be challenges a long way. That is normal, 564 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: That is natural, and it is okay. As I shared 565 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: in my previous episode, we fell short of one of 566 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 1: our big goals last year. And whilst that was really 567 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: upsetting and really frustrating and I felt so disheartened, within 568 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: a few weeks, I didn't just move on, but I 569 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: moved up with my mindset. You see, I'd actually had 570 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: done okay with my progress even though we fell short 571 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: of our goals. But I actually gained a lot of 572 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: wisdom and insight from failing. And when I look back 573 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: and sort of really went through absolutely everything that I 574 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: needed to look at this failure, it actually made me 575 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: realize that this failure offered a really important and valuable 576 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 1: platform for further growth and success. So what I recommend 577 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: you do is obviously have regular check ins for your 578 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five financial goal game plan, but understand there 579 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: are going to be times where you need to make 580 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: slight tweaks and changes, and of course use those automated 581 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: systems if and where you need to, but again by 582 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: coming back and checking your progress, also check and update 583 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: any of those automated programs to see if there's room 584 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: to improve and change them, to adjust them, to increase them, 585 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: so you can see your goals being achieved so much 586 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: quicker and so much greater success. So tweaks and changes 587 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: throughout the year are most definitely allowed and most definitely 588 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: encouraged as long as you're not making too bigger tweaks 589 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: and changes where you're actually cheating yourself and selling yourself short. 590 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: And also by continuously staying flexible, adjusting and reviewing your calendar, 591 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,719 Speaker 1: your financial game plan, it really does help improve and 592 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: increase your motivation levels. And then when we do that, 593 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: we find that we are less likely to be distracted, 594 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: we're less likely to procrastinate, were so much which more accountable, 595 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: we are so much more aware. The clock is ticking 596 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: time is being wasted, and then that organically creates a 597 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: powerful call to action by us. We don't even think 598 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: about it. We just start doing working on our goals, 599 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: getting creative with our goals. And when you have those 600 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: regular check ins where you may need to become flexible 601 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: and make those adjustments, you can actually see the progress 602 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: you've made and actually how things are working, how you're 603 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: actually achieving your goals, and how different the year is 604 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: in comparison to your previous years. You can see what 605 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: you're learning, you're growing not just from a financial education 606 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: point of view, but from a personal growth point of view. 607 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: And for me, that personal growth is actually where the 608 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: biggest and best rewards come in. So to quickly recap 609 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: your financial goal plan, number one, get crystal clear with 610 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: your goals. Write them in the present or past, tense, 611 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: have numbers, have deadlines, have a landing destination, and if 612 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: you want, add in your why and a little inkling 613 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: of what your next goal is that you're going to 614 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: focus on. Step two is to create is bird's eye 615 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: view that is your financial game plan calendar. Again, I've 616 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: created a template for you. You can linked it in the notes. 617 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: You can quickly and easily access it, but make it colorful. 618 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: Block out your times and make sure you've got spots 619 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: there where you can write down all of your ideas 620 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,959 Speaker 1: and all of the personal characteristics you need within yourself 621 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: to achieve these goals. This will help keep you motivated 622 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: and focused and stop you from wasting time. Step three 623 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: is to reverse engineer your success. Look at that goal 624 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: and what you want to achieve and by when, and 625 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: then you can work out how much you need to 626 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: be saving or investing paying down debt per week or 627 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: even per day, per fortnight, per month in order to 628 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: help make that happen. If there's a gap that is 629 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: where you look to hustle, where you look to save 630 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: extra money, all the different creative things you can do 631 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: to help achieve that goal within that dedicated time. Step 632 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: number four is to do the deep dive into you. 633 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: Look at your mindset, look at the characteristics and the 634 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: skills and the habits that you need to have within 635 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,959 Speaker 1: yourself in order to help give these goals the biggest 636 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: and best opportunity to thrive. You already have everything that 637 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: you need within yourself to achieve these goals. Step number 638 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: five is to make sure you're creating shortcuts to fast 639 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: track your progress. This is what I call in my 640 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: money mindset program boosters, little things you can do to 641 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: help boost that goal so that you can achieve it 642 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: quicker or you can over achieve that goal. It's about 643 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: getting creative. Think outside of the square as to things 644 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: you can do to bring in some extra cash to 645 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 1: move through the year faster and with greater efficiency. Step 646 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: six is to have accountability. Of course, automate everything you 647 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: can for success, but have someone you can talk to 648 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: about your goals, how far you're going, what your progress is, 649 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: looking at, maybe where you're struggling, where you need some 650 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: help or you need some inspiration, and just get excited 651 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: about what you are doing and achieving along the way. 652 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 1: And again to remind you automation is brilliant, but be 653 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: careful where automation just makes you comfortable and complacent. Whenever 654 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 1: you've achieved goal the particular smaller ones, look at what 655 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: improvements you can add to that automation system. And then finally, 656 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: step number seven is just stay flexible and adjust. You 657 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: must review your progress all the time, weekly, fortnightly, monthly. 658 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: Just make sure you do it regularly. This is one 659 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: of the habit systems you're going to have to create, 660 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: so where you need to make adjustments, it's okay, don't 661 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: beat yourself up, but promise me this one thing. You're 662 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: not going to add new goals to your list unless 663 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: you've achieved every single goal for twenty twenty five. One 664 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: of the key things where I think a lot of 665 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: people go wrong is they start and they put my 666 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: hand up for this as well, they start to add 667 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: new goals into the list, They get excited about other 668 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: things they want to achieve, and they start adding more 669 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: things to the table without actually clearing the decks first. 670 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: So as you think happen in life setbacks and challenges, 671 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: to really try and stay committed and true and dedicated 672 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: to those goals that you sit down intentionally at the 673 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and of course don't beat yourself 674 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: if you fall short. So much wisdom is to be 675 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: gained beyond those actual physical dollar amount goals. So that 676 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: is it for today's episode. This game plan is really 677 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: not about perfection, it's really about progress. Your future self 678 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: is counting on you, so you need to show up 679 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: for yourself daily, weekly, fortnightly, and monthly and make sure 680 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: that you finish twenty twenty five and a stronger, wealthier 681 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: and more empowered position than ever before.
