As I was getting ready to walk out the door this morning, Rae (my two-year-old) said, “Wait Daddy. You almost forgot to bring an apple.” She watches me pack my bag each day. Normally it includes two eggs, an apple, coffee, and water, among other things. I knew I was skipping an apple, mostly because I was in a hurry and didn’t want to take the 10 seconds to grab it. With my daughter’s help, I went back and grabbed the apple. I will eat healthier today thanks to her.
We all need an accountability partner in life. They help us make the choices we know we should do but might otherwise skip. For many people, this is the reason they have a financial advisor. The steps to achieve financial success are pretty easy:
- Identify your goals
- Track your progress
- Make needed adjustments as your goals or progress changes
It’s the implementation that gets tricky. When life gets busy, I’m here to keep you on track to achieve your goals. Let me know if you want help.
