Hit 'Snooze' on Wealth? Not Anymore – The wake-up call your finances desperately need
Reader,
Wealthy people are the same as the rest of us; they just got lucky.
I don’t think so.
The wealthy approach their goals and mindset from an opposite direction to the average person on the street. It's a small 1% change with an outsized game-changing impact.
The 1% difference of the wealthy
Laser-focused Goals: Wealthy people know their goals. They know what those goals are right down to the last detail. They have specific amounts, time frames and achievable steps to get there. They are goal-making machines.
Daily Goal Repetition: Wealthy people revisit and reaffirm these goals, day in and day out. They stick their goals on their bathroom mirrors, fridges and screensavers. Heck, they probably have them tattooed inside their eyelids.
It's not just me saying this - Dolf de Roos PhD advocates this too and as a self-made ultra-wealthy person, he knows his stuff...
"Wealth is a mindset before it's a reality."
Why you need to take action now
- This 1% leverage stops aimless wandering or drifting off course when the next must-have-shiny object is dangled before you.
- Daily repetition rewires the brain to look for opportunities that shortcut your path to winning the game of money.
- Goal setting empowers a deeper connection with personal aspirations, driving you towards achieving them.
Let me tell you a real-life story
Rhona, a dynamic amazing woman I had the privilege of working with, went from 'I was embarrassed that I have lived as long as I have without knowing how to manage my money' to embracing the power of goal setting. Now she owns her future ‘...successfully changed my mindset to the point that all the changes I needed to make were seamless.'
Anyone can change up their story. It is never too late to rewire your mindset from average to wealthy by switching up that 1%.
Recap & Rewind
Lesson 1: Regular goal-setting sessions are essential for finding your road to financial success
Lesson 2: Daily goal repetition ingrains aspirations into your very core, driving you towards freedom.
Lesson 3: Take a leaf from the millionaire playbook. Adopt the wealthy mindset that rockets you towards your financial security and beyond.

Reader, Working for money is easy. Did I really write that? I can see you glaring at the screen, your looks of frustration as you read those words. You're muttering... Work is not easy.

Reader, Christmas is just around the corner, and it's hard not to spend money like it's going out of fashion. It's even harder to find the time to catch the little leaks that drain us over time. In our era of instant gratification, the world is at our fingertips. Subscriptions have thrived, sorting out all the problems we never knew we had with the click of a button. At best, they are cost-effective saving graces. At worst, a forgotten impulse buy, draining our hard-earned money. Before we go...
