Just as small points of focus (as we talked about in the last post) can be all that it takes to start your day off right, small steps and progresses throughout the day can be enough to keep you on track and moving towards those goals. The problem is, we don’t often give ourselves credit for the little things we do.

A Step At A Time

We tend to set goals and plans in big leaps and bounds. When we make our goals, or even just our list of projects or goals for the day, we only think about the big things. We don’t often list the very small things that we take for granted—even though they all need doing, and are all necessary contributions to achieving the larger goal.

However, when you do start to recognize those little things, a couple of things happen.

First, you start to see that you are doing something, and not wasting your time. When you only gauge progress by the big successes, you tend to feel like a failure because it seems like you never get there. It’s commendable to want to achieve big things, but the reality is it takes a lot of small efforts to make that happen.

Second, you actually do move closer to that goal. Any small thing you do that will support your goals and efforts is progress. It all matters, and it all counts. So you should account for it! This also helps you to set more realistic goals, because you account for all the time- and energy-consuming details, and so you do not forget about the things that might keep you from getting to that end within the timeframe you’ve envisioned.

Credit Where It’s Due

Giving yourself credit for all that you do has that snowball effect that you are looking for. Instead of feeling like you can’t accomplish a thing, you see that you have gotten things done and you are moving closer to your goal. You feel better, and you attract more motivation and success. Before you know it, you’ve taken one of those great leaps and bounded even closer to the financially free and successful life you’ve been working for.

I don’t have to tell you that this is the time of year when we all start resolving to live better. It’s the time of year when we start putting our thoughts and plans for wealth creation into high gear, resolving to make this the year that we finally “make it.” These are the days when we take that deep breath, get ready for the big plunge, and decide to put our heads down and finally do what it takes to achieve that financial success that will make the difference in our lives.

Noble Plans For A New Life

These are all very noble plans and goals. I do more than hope that this is the year you achieve financial success and freedom. If you make your rounds around my blogs, you’ll see that I’ve been working on many posts of encouragement and support, including many money-making resources. As we dive into all of these, though, I’d like to take a look back at some old advice so as to achieve the best possible level of success with your efforts and hard work.

More Than Money

Much as we focus on wealth creation on this blog, making money is not all that we are about here. This blog, as regular readers will know, if about building wealth for a better life, based largely on Jamie McIntyre’s mindset philosophies and his work through the 21st Century Academy.

What is key to know about these programs is that they are not just about the money. In fact, were money not such a predominant factor in life it would probably be included very little in it. In effect, Jamie McIntyre’s programs are about life success. In the modern world, that means making money. But it does not only mean making money.

Money is a wonderful thing to have. In today’s world, it is what determines how much personal freedom you have. But a successful life requires more than just knowing how to make money. That is why, for the coming New Year, for all your goals and plans; my wish for you is that you will approach it with a whole life view. If you do, I’m sure you have found what I and so many other 21st Century Academy grads have found—that financial success is something that comes far easier when put into the context of the whole, and not focused on as the sole objective.
