Step 1 - Set your goals
Write down the answers to the following questions on a piece of paper in your own handwriting.
1.
What is it that you want to achieve financially? Is it to be debt free? Is it to achieve a certain net worth?
2.
Realistically, how many years would you like it to take for you to achieve these goals?
3.
Why is achieving these goals important to you and your family?
4.
What do you want to give back to society whilst achieving these goals?
The act of putting your goals on paper will make it significantly more likely to achieve them. Keep this piece of paper and refer back to it every 6 months, or at times that you need to, to remind yourself of WHY you're doing this.
