A CLARIFY YOUR FINANCIAL Vision
When you start a journey, you need to know where you’re going. It’s one of the keys to staying on the right path. You’ll need a clear vision of what financial freedom means to you personally. A vision of your goals gives you the power to stay on the right road.
Where are you now?
You need to know where you’re starting from to get where you’re going. Defining your values and needs helps you see where you are now. The financial principle section will help you understand why you’re in debt.
You also need a roadmap for your journey to financial health. Then when you come across side roads that might tempt you to spend your money foolishly, a clear vision of your goals will lead you to control your spending.
Is More Money the Answer?
Like most folks, you probably know one thing for certain about money— that you never seem to have enough of it. You’re probably sure having more money would eliminate the worry in your life and the stress in your home.
The True Nature of Money. Many people want to believe more money will solve their problems and bring happiness—but it’s simply NOT true! It’s because they don’t understand the true nature of money— what it is and what it isn’t; what it can and cannot do. You have to realize money is not an end by itself. Money is only valuable when it supports your values and helps you achieve your goals.
