subject: 2010 Financial Strategies [print this page] Written by Chicagohealers.com business service owner Julie Murphy Casserly --
A new year means a new beginning. Its time to put the financial turmoil of 2009 behind us and find our pathway to financial abundance through authenticity i.e. creating financial success by being truthful and genuine to yourself and those around you. So how does this journey to abundance begin and how do you keep it going strong throughout the year? Ive included a few strategies below for a financially successful 2010!
1) Decide exactly what type of financial life you would like to have.
This means identifying your own deep-down desires, your lifes passions and allowing them to move you forward. Once you start living your life with purpose, the money will follow. Start mapping out your financial plan. Navigate away from your current financial patterns and create new goals that support your life passions.
2) Clear space in your life to obtain these goals.
Often times, there are things and even people standing in the way of your new goals. This is what I call your crabs in the bucket. things or people who support your current financial reality. If you have friends who are huge spenders and use credit cards all the time, try to go shopping with those who actually pay cash for items, or spend less frivolously. If you have a Negative Nancy in your life, shift your thinking before you encounter them. Say to yourself, I know whats right for me and I will reach my financial goals this year.
3) Prioritize which items are the first things to go.
On your path to financial success, there are going to be things you need to get rid of in your life. This could be material items, or even just a way of thinking. For example, if your closets are too cluttered from all of your shopping sprees, donate them and get a tax deduction. Or, remove the negative thoughts that are taking up space in your brain and replace them with positive thinking and reinforcements. Create space for the new you!
4) Get your credit score cleaned up.
If your credit score is below 720, make it a priority to review your credit report and get it cleaned up. This report will filter down to many different items in your financial life and you dont want this standing in the way of your goals.
