How To Make Your Financial Goals Stick By Adam Mortimer

How many times have we set goals with good intentions to complete the goal but we end up not following through with that goal? How do you make your financial goals stick. It is all about making it an every day part of your life. Make it a routine. Set a specific time aside each day that you are going to work on at least one goal that would make a significant difference with your finances. It is a good idea to let at least one person know what you are trying to do. Invite them to hold you accountable for accomplishing your goals. This will help you follow through with what you set out to do. Remember to always set SMART goals. Smart is an acronym for SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC, TIMELY. Make sure that all the goals that you set, the big ones as well as the small ones follow the smart acronym for goal setting. I have found over the years that many people do not like setting goals. The reason for this I believe is that they do not know how to set goals properly. If you set proper goals, and you make them habitual by having someone hold you accountable for those goals, then goal setting can be a very enjoyable process. Make sure that you take your goals seriously and you make the time to make them stick! Find that one goal that is going to make a big difference four you and your financial goal and work on it until it becomes a habit or you have accomplished what you have set out to do.
