What a Car Wash Can Teach You About Success

If you’ve ever driven your car into one of those automated car washes, you know you have to align your left front wheel with the tracks in order to get into the car wash. This is part of the system in place to get your car clean. If you don’t follow the system, you won’t get the results you’re looking to achieve.

The same thing happens in life. Sometimes we don’t get the results we want if we don’t follow a system. If we don’t align with the system in place, we’ll never get the results we want.

There’s even a roller in place that moves your car through at the optimum speed so your car gets as clean as possible. Engineers have put systems into place to reduce the potential room for human error. If you drive yourself through the carwash, you may go too fast or even too slow.

You have to earn leadership. You don’t get out of college with a degree in leadership. College grads have a license to learn and experience what they need to eventually be leaders in their field.

There Are Two Types of Pride

Unhealthy Pride - This is when you feel you don’t need any help to get where you want to be in life. You’re prideful and uncoachable. This is unhealthy and will ultimately keep you from your goals.

Healthy PRIDE - Personal Responsibility in Daily Endeavours

This is when you humble yourself and line up BEHIND someone else who can guide you towards your goals.

Don’t Fall in Love With A Stock

Make sure you don’t attach any sentimental value to the stocks you own. This often happens when you’ve inherited a stock portfolio and you are hesitant to let it go because your loved one purchased it years ago.

Sometimes we do this on our own without even inheriting the stocks. We will buy a stock, watch it grow and when it begins to stumble, we’ll hesitate to make a logical decision to let that stock go. Don’t fall in love with your stocks.

Understanding the Phases of Your Financial Life

It’s vital for your financial well-being to understand the two major phases of your financial life. Each one requires a different strategy and provides you with different expectations. The two major phases are:

Building and Growth

In this phase, it's all about doing what you can to grow your retirement portfolio as best you can. That means most people are willing to take a little higher risk in order to see a potentially higher return. But you must still have caution in this phase or you risk going backward.

Retirement Phase

This isn’t about sitting in a rocking chair and doing nothing, it’s more about having the freedom to do as you choose. Most high-achievers have no desire to retire and this phase is really is about giving you the freedom to pursue different goals than the ones you had during the Building and Growth Phase.

The Three Ways The Stock Market Can Go

Most people think stocks will either go up or go down. But, there’s also the possibility for those stocks to go sideways. In fact there are been periods of several years where the stock market has gone sideways. It’s important you understand

Questions to Ask Yourself

1. What steps have you taken to protect yourself from the next market crash?
2. What steps are you taking to reduce your risk?
3. What are you doing to give yourself the ability to have a consistent income for your future?
