There is no easy or cookie cutter way to pinch pennies, stretch dollars and cut out the FAT (thank you Dani Johnson) … And when you’re with someone, it can be even harder. So I wanted to provide you with the 15 Strategies to Save Money As a Couple that I found here in an article written by Kayla Matthews.
It’s time to set SMART goals!

You’ve made a resolution, you’re going to stick to it … And then you never achieve that goal. Sound familiar? Here’s why …
The quality & quantity of your success comes down to one skillset: setting, staying committed (sticking to) and progressing (taking action) with BIG goals!
You can’t simply write down a bunch of entries of things you would like to achieve then stick it in a drawer and forget about it until a later time. If you want something to change, you MUST work on it NOW!
You MUST be crystal clear in you intention! If you don’t know what you want, how can the universe bring it to you when you actively work towards it? For that matter, if you don’t know where you’re going how can you ever expect to chart a course? Law of Attraction!

Proclaiming what you want to the universe is just the first step … If you do not plan your work and work your plan, you’ve only made a wish list.
You need a management or control system that will keep you on track. Something you can MEASURE to see where you are at in achieving your goals!
Support and guidance are crucial in achieving your goals! If those around you are not supportive or cannot direct you to stay on the proper path to achieve your goals, find someone who can! Just be sure you’re surrounding yourself with the right people, and not just because they’re you’re friends.
Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine, is absolutely incredible! I got the above 5 reasons why you fail at keeping the goals you set from this article. And he’s offering a 10-week video series exclusively for his community! However, if you would like the occasional tips & tricks to set (and achieve) proper goals, then click here!

I am sharing this story today because everyone has a dream in life … No one wants to live a life where they scrape by paycheck to paycheck. No one really wants to be unhealthy, unhappy, and unfulfilled. And yet through all of the complaints, the two biggest reasons why people do this is:
Before I had gone to Tony Robbins’ “Unleash the Power Within” seminar, I had attended several events that were similar, but for whatever reason would motivate me for a day or two … But nothing ever sunk in. The only things that sunk in were that I needed to stay by the fire (be around like-minded people) and that I needed to be better and grow as a person in order to achieve the goals and ambitions I had for myself and my family.
So while I knew what I had to do, for whatever reason I allowed “life” to get in the way of my dreams.
I learned so much from that one weekend with Tony Robbins! I’ve made several posts about it in an older blog and on my Youtube channel …
But basically the biggest take-aways were that:
You must put yourself in a positive, excited mental and physical state. When you do this, you are preparing and opening up yourself to some of the greatest things the universe can provide to you … whether it be an idea, meeting someone who can help you (or you them), clarity on an issue you’ve been striving to resolve … Whatever the case may be, you MUST change your state!
Be exact. Add a time frame. Plant that seed in your mind and keep it constantly with you so that you are always thinking about it. We become what we think about. So be clear on what it is that you want.
If you do not focus on what it is that you want, what you DON’T want will surround you. You will be swayed by things that will not get you to the goals you have already set yourself for. Sometimes this means sacrificing something now in order to reap the benefits later. Sometimes it means the creation of a new & healthy habit. Whatever it is — be focused!
If you do not take care of all of the 6 human needs, you will become unbalanced. You’ll feel stressed, like there’s not enough time in the day, depressed, and a myriad of other things. So you need to ensure that you live a more harmonious life and not neglect some of those needs. While you need to remain focused on your goals, you cannot allow yourself to have other parts of your life wither. Stay nourished!
Because of the things I learned from Tony as well as the events, teachings, etc that I have already been doing, my life now is that of promise & clarity. I know what it is that I want. I’m focused on it and I do what I can to make it happen.
Sometimes I falter. Sometimes I allow other things to keep me from it. But I always have my end goal in mind and it keeps bringing me back to doing what I need to in order to achieve that goal that I have for myself, my loved ones, and the people I have yet to empower!
Now – do you have focus in your life?
Perhaps you’re too focused on certain areas and need to make a change to become balanced?
Leave a comment below on how focus has helped you!
Are you achieving the goals you have for yourself and family?

Hey guys!
Sorry about not updating yesterday — I had everything ready but had some technical difficulties. So I’ll be posting 2 posts today!
And today’s actual post was my TOP 5 REASONS Why YOU Should Own a Business!

==================================
When you own & build (or grow) a business that has a system that will continue to generate income for you and your family long after you’re gone? That’s generational wealth.
People say that taxes were made to keep the people down and all these crazy things.
But if you did your research, knew what you could do under those tax laws, you would realize that the tax laws were actually MADE for people to prosper! Especially when you own a business.
There’s so much you can write off and so many things you can do to ensure you keep more of your money.
So congratulations on being in business – how much money are you now saving because you’ve done so?
What I mean by this is that in order to flourish, you must become the person that is needed for your business to grow.
This requires you to do personal development, which means going to seminars that will help you in your business, trainings, listening to audios and reading books that will get your mind right.
Because growing up, we were taught to be a cog in someone else’s wheel.
We weren’t taught to think outside the box, to be creative enough to be able to start and grow a business that would allow us the freedom to not have to work for someone else …
But in order to get to that place, we MUST become better!
Whether you own a traditional brick and mortar business, or if you own a home based business [or more], the number one reason why I believe you should own one is the pure and simple reason: that you are in business!
You are showing initiative, faith, and have become an entrepreneur!
KUDOS to you, because we need more of you out there.
You’re the ones that help stimulate the economy.
You’re the ones with the creativity and the drive to have more, do more, and be more!
