NEW YEAR’S FINANCIAL RESOLUTIONS
The holiday season is finally over and it’s time for us to get back to what we call the “grindstone of life.” The beginning of the year brings new hopes, new possibilities, new ideas, new dreams, and new ambitions. We generally take this as a time to reflect on what has happened, and look for ways to make our experiences better than ever before. One of the most common practices is to make a new year’s resolution. From health goals, to relationship goals, to financial goals, we challenge ourselves every January 1st to come up with bigger and better ideas on how to live our lives more prosperous. Goal setting is a necessity if you expect to achieve anything. I’ve asked a few colleagues about their feelings on their financial goals for the New Year.
My News Years Resolution is the affirmation I repeat to myself everyday….
“I am the Center of Abundance, all of my needs, wants and desires are fulfilled”
and
“The Universe supplies all of my needs with unlimited possibilities”

I don’t really do resolutions I set goals instead. My financial goal for 2009 is doesn’t have $ value because I find I achieve more when I’m not focused on the money but instead focus on my passion which is helping women who want to operate a business online from home. So my financial goal for 2009 is help 5000 women enjoy their life by developing and improving their skills and resources to generate revenue continuously by operating a business online from home.

My goal is very simple; to save more money by making sure that I pay myself first.

My position on New Year’s resolutions is that every day is a new opportunity to make a better choice. New Year’s can occur daily, giving new hope, new faith, and a new found purpose of having the best experience possible. What’s your position on this most famous method of goal setting?
