To get started today, you should be looking three steps ahead of you, not three miles! A long gaze to the moutain crest will overwhelm you, so stop looking at it.
The key to achieving enormous tasks is to break them down into their smallest parts. You can't run a 26 mile marathon by focusing only on the 26th mile. You attack the first, then the second, third and so forth.
"I'd like to make $5,000 per month, how do I do this"?
Well, first make $50 per month!
You can't make $5,000 per month until you learn how to make $50 per month. It's amazing how people want to skip 'Process' and want 'Events'.
How to start your Money System
Drop 25c into a coffee can
Congratulations! You are 25 steps closer to your goal.
No, I'm not kidding!
Your goal isn't $1,900,000, but 190,000,000 pennies
Drop your loose change into the can each day. Find 60 cents here, 25 cents there, 75 cents somewhere else. It all adds up, and albeit small, it moves you closer to your goal daily.
I also have a switch on my bank account that rounds everything up that I buy to the nearest £. This then gets swept into a pot. At the end of the month i’ll transfer it to my investment account. See if you can do a similar thing. It all adds up.
What do you do with your ‘Money System’?
You invest it with a broker so you can generate at least 5% return per annum from dividend stocks and bonds (sorry, can’t advise, so don’t ask!)
Ridiculous?
No, that is how I started, and yes, I still practise it today because the exercise has three conditioning purposes.
1. When you drop your change into the bucket daily, you visualise the goal moving closer. You get a daily reminder. Certainly, you won't accumulate 190 million pennies in this fashion, but the objective is repetitive progress towards a seemingly distant goal.
2. It forces you to evaluate. Have you applied pressure to the goal, or is your change bucket the only weapon in your arsenal? Wealthy Affiliate and other online income helps here. Are you pursuing an accelerated business, or still confined to a day job?
3. This third purpose is to change your relationship with money. If you are serious about a Money System, you're going to need a big shift in beliefs about money. What is money to you? A medium to get the latest 'Call of Duty' release? Or the soldiers for your army of Freedom Fighters?
The numbers here are achievable, but you’ll need discipline to reach them. They may not be reachable purely from Wealthy Affiliate income, but it can go a long way to help you get there.
