Not sure if having a plan is that important? Well try this. They did a study of a Harvard graduating class and found that the 3% that had a written plan for their life by the time they graduated went on to make more money that the other 97% combined. 33 times their fellow Harvard graduates!
Think about that. That’s a pretty amazing difference.. 33 times? Wow!
So why do you think this was so?
The answer is actually very simple. You can’t get where you want to go if you don’t know where you’re going. Heck you really can’t do much of anything without a plan, if you think about it.
Want to build a house? You need a blueprint. Build a car from scratch? Once again a blueprint, and so on. The truth is that without a written, thought-out plan for your money and your life you’re very unlikely to get the life you wish for. It’s that important.
And yet almost nobody ever tells anybody about this. Anyone ever tell you how important it is to have such a plan? I’ll bet they haven’t.
And because nobody did, most people go through their whole life without one.. the other 32 graduates, getting just a fraction of what they should have gotten from their life. You don’t want to be in that group, and you don’t need to be, not as long as you have a well thought out plan.
What we often fail to see is just how powerful our mind is. That if we give it a clear picture it can really, really help us. If we’ve clearly decided we want something and identified what we had to do to get it, our mind will see to it that we do the right things.. the big things, and also the little things we need to do, every day, to get it.
It’ll guide our spending and saving, it’ll guide our performance on our job, how we interact with the key relationships in our life, even on how we eat, whether we exercise, how we handle stress. And don’t take this last stuff lightly. Heath and relationships are such keys to a happy life.
I’m not saying having a well thought-out plan is a magic bullet, that it guarantees everything, but what I am saying is that it’s truly a very big factor.. big enough that it’s a lot harder, a lot harder, to have the life you want and deserve without it.
Look, I could go on and on here, but I trust you get the point. Why did the 3% make more money than the other 97% combined? Why have I and others I know gotten to live such a great life? Because we created clarity, created focus. Made decisions then stuck to them, supported them with our daily actions.
So that’s why a well thought out written plan is so terribly important.
So how are you doing when it comes to money? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? Is money creating a lot of stress in your life? Are you on a path to genuine financial freedom, to living the life you wish, or are you hoping to do so “someday”.. when you turn 65, or whatever?
If any of this applies to you, you need to know that all of this is very solvable, but to do so, step #1 is to have a well thought out plan. Once you’ve done that, step 2 is learning how to get the most from your money. Both of these things are now available to you with the public service project I’ve built for you.
