Follow Through
February 22, 2011
Do you do a good job with your follow through? If you are hitting a baseball, a tennis ball, or a golf ball, the follow through portion of the swing is essential. For a baseball pitcher, the follow through component of the motion is essential.
Follow through is important to get the results that you want in all areas of life. If you want to lose weight, you have to figure out your plan, take action, and follow through.
The same applies to getting your personal finances in order. If you want to get out of debt, develop a budget, or start saving and investing, you have to figure out your plan, take action, and follow through.
Be diligent with your follow through. This is an area that keeps many people from being successful. They have good intentions, but they don’t follow through and stick with it.
How is your follow through?

Self-Reliant Finances
February 8, 2011
Do you consider yourself to be self reliant? Can you take care of yourself? Do you think independently?
What about in the area of money. Are you self-reliant in your personal finances? Can you take care of your own needs or are you depending on someone else to come and bail you out?
Do you believe that it is your own responsibility to provide for you and for your family? Or do you believe that someone else should pick up the tab if you make bad decisions with your money?
America was built by tough and determined self-reliant people. The people who built this nation were pioneers and they had to provide for their own needs.
They were far from perfect people. They made lots of mistakes. But they provided for themselves. They had a choice to either provide for themselves or to do without.
Unfortunately, some of this self-reliant spirit disappeared over the years. As America grew more and more affluent, some of this sense of self-reliance gave way to a belief that others such as the government would provide for us.
When we see the financial mess that our federal government and so many state governments are in, this should be a wake-up call to all of us regarding our need to be able to take care of ourselves.
Do you want to be self-reliant with your money? If you are not self-reliant in your finances now, are you taking steps to get this way? Is this really important to you? If so, what will you do immediately to make this a reality?
