YOU
STEPS TO SUCCESS Curiosity will lead you to your goals
If you’re lacking motivation, don’t be discouraged. Even the biggest stars, richest businesspeople or the most accomplished athletes get lost sometimes. If you feel stuck, try these tips to ignite your curiosity for achieving your goal.
Have fun Starting out on a new adventure should be fun. The minute you make it serious, there’s a big chance it will start carrying a heavy emotional weight and you will lose perspective and become stuck again.
Focus on commitment—not motivation Just how committed are you to your goal? How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it? If you find yourself fully committed, motivation will follow.
Use your imagination When things go well positive energy seems easy to harness. However, when you are experiencing difficulties, you need even more energy—which requires changing your situation. If you don’t like your work, use your imagination to find something positive to motivate you to finish the task at hand.
Seek knowledge—not results If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled. If you focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather—it will die the minute you hit a storm. The key is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve. Delete negative talk Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine your perspective. While you probably have a lot of thoughts in your head, you have a choice of which ones to focus on: your fears and doubts—or the ones that will move you forward (trying new things or stepping out of your comfort zone).
Get rid of distractions Meaningless things and distractions will always be in your way, especially those easy, usual things you would rather do instead of focusing on new challenging and meaningful projects. Learn to focus on what is most important. Write a list of time-wasters and hold yourself accountable to not do them. Avoid burnout Burnout can be a natural outcome of motivation. If you show any signs of tiredness, take time to rest. Remember, your body and mind rest when you schedule relaxation and fun time into your weekly calendar.

MONEY
FINANCIAL FREEDOM Do you have a plan?
Financial success indicates you are in control of your money instead of it controlling you. Contrary to popular opinion, your income doesn’t necessarily determine how financially successful you are—your choices and priorities do. If you are struggling, financial success may seem like a distant dream, but by following these 10 steps, you can make that dream a reality:
Establish goals
Identifying clear, achievable goals is a crucial part of anyone’s financial plan. A financial goal is saving the exact amount of money needed for a specific purchase or service by a definite date. Making the goal precise helps you determine how much you need to set aside each month and track your progress.
Create a plan
Once you take stock of what your current situation is, it is time to create a spending and savings plan. Your plan should show where you want your money to go in the future. While creating your plan, keep in mind the golden rule of money management: your expenses (including the money going into savings) should never exceed your income.
Build up an emergency fund
Establishing an emergency savings fund provides a cushion that allows you to pay for expenses should the unexpected occur. Financial experts recommend saving at least three to six months of essential living expenses. If you do not already have that amount in savings, determine how much you can set aside each month until you reach your goal.
Protect yourself
Events such as a severe illness, car accident or house fire can significantly impact your financial health. Having the right amount of insurance will help protect you from the financial consequences associated with many of life’s adversities. Every family should carry health insurance, disability insurance, auto insurance, home/renter’s insurance and life insurance
Eliminate your debt
Having debt can not only absorb a significant portion of your income each month but also cost you thousands of dollars in interest payments. Conversely, paying off your debt can provide a feeling of relief and give you more money for other things, like savings. Successful financial management is an ongoing process. It’s important to continually monitor your spending, savings and investments and adjust your plan as necessary. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert in personal finance to achieve success, but a solid understanding of the basics can put you in control of your money.
