Doing More
Wednesday, January 10th, 2007
Some people believe in making New Year resolutions; even if they fail to keep them up. Others choose not to make them, because they believe these are bound to fail.
But rather than doing it for the New Year, it does make sense to make resolutions, especially if these are of benefit. The key resolution for personal financial success, is to do more; Earn more, Save more.
Earn more - that’s something everyone would like, but quite often, pessimism sets in. “I’m already doing all I can.” Or “If I have to get more, I have to move to another city”. “I don’t have the skills to get more”. Not true; there are ways and means for anyone to earn more, as long as you’re willing to do it.
Save more - this is what most people detest. Because it seems to imply that you have to avoid spending, or give up things you like because it isn’t “necessary”. Again, not true; you can still spend on activities you love, without compromising on your saving.
As in all things - it isn’t how hard you work, it’s about how smart. More on this, through the year ahead.
