… it was built every day for a long, long time
On matters money, you’ve heard us before bang on about the importance of keeping it in the present. Having money and life goals are wonderful things but goals won’t mean much if we scrimp on the daily commitment required to see them through.
Ask the Romans. Progress is a brick by brick thing and it works every which way:
- How does a company grow to $1bn – one dollar at a time
- How do my biceps go from drab to fab – arm curl by arm curl
- How do I save enough for a home deposit – penny by pound
You get the idea. Having a goal is essential. It brings focus.
But meeting a goal, any goal, is usually down to consistent work. To micro decisions, actions and responses that all point in the right direction. Meeting goals needs daily discipline and when days slip, well, so do dreams.
Working for marginal gains day in and out can get boring and samey but the beauty is that it’s your plan. You are the architect. It’s your Rome – and you don’t have to be perfect.
It all matters
You may have an idea or two as to what your money life could look like, but it doesn’t mean much without definition. Having a goal is one step that brings you closer to your plan. Having a plan is a further step towards focus. And having focus is a daily thing.
At Money Means, we connect people (like you) to your own plans. We help people (like you) to chart a course to your own vision. We give you a map of how to get there and this is the part that’s unique.
Your plan is based on who you are and what’s important. It’s based on where you are now and what’s going on in life.
The job might seem huge from the get-go and that’s why we take it one day at a time. It’s also why Money Means exists.
To come full-circle, Rome wasn’t built in a day. It was built every day for thousands of years and, d’you know what, it’s still being built today. Brick by brick, day by day …
