06 Sep What is your ‘Money Why’?

Have you ever really thought about why you want to achieve a certain income goal?

I was speaking with a group of entrepreneurs recently, all very passionate about growing their businesses and achieving income breakthroughs.  I asked the group what they wanted to be earning in 6 months, 12 months and 3 years. Everyone had a specific number in mind for each milestone. While the number is extremely important, what is equally important is your connection to it. If you’re just throwing a number out, stating I want to make 100K, 500K, 7 figures and more, you’re not going to get there if you don’t have a strong connection to that specific amount.

Why would it matter if 12 months from now you doubled or tripled your income?

Think of an area in your life where you want to experience significant growth or change, or perhaps there is an area that is causing you stress. You know you desire some kind of transformation to live your best life.

• Do you want to change your lifestyle?
• Do you want to be debt free?
• Do you want to significantly improve your health?
• Do you want to focus on personal development and education?
• Do you want to be able to donate more time or money to charity?

Whatever the reason, choose your money why and then take the time to look at what you value about it.  Get clear on why it is important to you.

Build a vision for your life going forward. How will your life be different when you achieve that income goal?  What would your day-to-day life look like? Add specific, quantifiable details to make that vision tangible.

Imagine connecting with a close friend 12 months from now. What would they see, hear or experience that would let them know you have achieved what you want? Remember, that number represents growth and positive change in your life!

The stronger the connection to your money why, the stronger the connection to achieving your income goal.  It serves as the catalyst that helps to keep you motivated and future-focused.
