IMPACT Driven

QOTD: “Happiness has to do with your mindset, not with outside circumstance.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

Main topic: How to Become Persistent

We're always told how we can achieve anything if we put our minds to it – how if we keep putting in the time and effort, we will eventually start to see our efforts pay off. It seems that the key ingredient to success in all its forms is persistence. But when people give us this advice, they will often act as though persistence were something you could just 'switch on'. If you've not lost that weight, started that side business, gotten that guy or gal… well then you just need to be persistent. The question no one ever answers is how you go from not having persistence to being able to turn it on at will.

Let's take a look at some of the things you can do…

• Increase Your Energy
• Clearly Define Your Goals
• Have a Support Network

And you know what? Persistence takes practice. Even if you find you're prone to giving up, consistently trying to try can actually help you to develop the persistence you need. Don't give up on not giving up!

At its core, financial planning is a game, and just like any game, there are rules you need to follow if you wish to win. That said, there will be odds against you and unforeseen obstacles may rear their ugly heads.

But no matter how the game goes, your best chances of winning will be to abide by the time-tested rules that govern the game… the tenets of financial planning which will keep you on track regardless of market fluctuations, pandemics, inflation, etc.

1 You must have a budget

There’s a quote in Charles Dickens’ book, David Copperfield, “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.”

This is old wisdom that still holds true to this day. If your expenses exceed your income, you’ll constantly be in debt. Getting your finances in order can be a Herculean task and you can quickly find yourself behind the 8-ball.

Create a budget and decide how much you’ll allocate to needs, wants, savings, paying off debt and so on. Stick to this budget and try your best not to deviate from it.

2 Save 10% of your net income

Here’s an important point to note – the percentage is not as important as the habit.

Some people may be so deep in debt that even saving 10% is difficult. If that’s the case, aim for 5% or at the very least, try to save anywhere from $10-$25 a month.

When you have even a small amount of money set aside, you’ll shift your mindset just enough to go from a mentality of lack to one with a teeny bit of abundance. It’s not much but it’ll make a WORLD of difference.

If you’ve saved $25 a month for 4 months, you’d have a $100 in savings. This will be a refreshing change from before when you were so broke you barely had anything left before the next paycheck came in.

As you get better at saving, trim your expenses wherever you can and split the extra between your debt repayment and savings.

3 Pay off debt quickly

Being in debt can be a soul-sucking experience. The banks are NOT your friends. They’ll willingly give you the credit cards you want as long as you meet the criteria, but the moment you’re slow to pay up, you’ll see them show their fangs.

The late payment fees, the interest rates, the calls from the debt collectors, the never-ending bills in the mail will all add stress and pressure on you. It can be a very draining and burdensome experience.

The best way to avoid this will be to pay your credit card bills in full and on time. At the very least, make the minimum payments punctually so that you don’t incur late fees.

Create a debt repayment plan for yourself and stick to it. It’ll take time, but you’ll come out of debt slowly but surely.

If you don’t remedy this problem proactively, you’ll be in financial servitude to the banks for a long time and may even end up filing for bankruptcy.

QOTD from Wilde

Goals, not resolutions

The main topic comes from a question I received from Alan over on MeWe. Alan asked: "My question is how do you narrow down which opportunity to put your efforts into?

"My current dilemma is I have a million ideas, a thousand opportunities and bandwidth and cash to do 2 or 3, or honestly 1 really well.

Struggling to get myself focused on the one or two that I should put my primary effort, and especially cash into and I think with the current administration, I will need to figure that out quickly."

Inspired by a Dr Phil article.

Each of us has multiple events, choices and people that define our life. According to Dr Phil, there are 10 defining moments, 7 critical choices, and 5 pivotal people in each person's life.

Many people simply allow these things to "happen to them". But for someone who want to live a truly impactful life of liberty, you MUST consciously choose those moments, choices, and people from this point forward.

In the past you simply allowed your circumstances to dictate your life, from now on you will intentionally make the choices in life to create the circumstances you desire.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams. Donovan Bailey

Post from a FB friend:

The Kingdom of God is not driven by financial excess to live in comfortable complacency, and neither is it propelled by a disillusioned sense of piety in poverty. Rather it stimulates a contented faith that your needs will be met in correct portion each day, so that you may always rely only on Him.

Main topic:

A recent study has discovered 88% of people are unhappy in their job. The other 12% experience joy and passion for what they do.

Are you in this 12%?

If not, you’re not alone. Sadly, a lack of passion does more than make the day drag. When you’re not enthusiastic about what you do, you’re simply not going to be as productive or even as successful at what you do compared to the individual who gets excited about their job.

Don’t believe it? Consider these ideas on how passion at work will help you get ahead.

Passionate People Focus

You can’t help but be intrigued by the things you’re passionate about. You can’t wait to dive in and see what makes things tick. This kind of focus enables you to see all the moving parts easily. It also keeps you more on task, and less likely to allow interruption as you hate to be pulled away from what you love.

Passionate People Experience Less Stress

When you’re passionate, you’re just more relaxed overall. Why would you be stressing about doing something you love? Instead, you’re more likely to feel the satisfaction of doing what you love as you get stuff done.

Passionate People are Creative

When you love what you do, you can’t wait to learn more about it. This interest in your work makes you more knowledgeable and more likely to notice things. This leads to more creativity in the course of your day.

Passionate People Get More Done

Passion is what wakes up a competitive spirit. You can’t wait to get things done just to see what comes next. All these things mean you’re putting out more work, and are much more likely to finish tasks over someone who isn’t passionate.

Passionate People Do Better

When you’re passionate, you’re going to be more interested in the details and will push more to ‘get it right’ just because you can. Being passionate means you’re doing a better quality of work, which is, in turn, noticed by those around you. Hey, think about it. When...

Myles is atypical and yet successful. He is a multi-millionaire, having had that status (and lost it) 3 times in his life. Today his final success has led him to tell his story through his appearances on dozens of media outlets and through hosting his podcast “The Unconstrained Podcast”.

Originally from Adelaide, Australia, Myies began is career as a software developer in the late 1970s, having never even graduated high school. After success in his field, he moved to the USA at the age of 24, with nothing more than a bag of clothes and left a millionaire.

Myles rejects the social norms of education, 9-5 job, and retirement outright and shows through his methods that one can live a financially sustainable life regardless of background, geography or education. His approach to being a contrarian shows that going against the herd can pay off.
