“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there- Lewis Carroll”.
It’s hard not to agree with the above quote. But it also begs the question which we believe everyone should be asking themselves on a regular basis is, where are you going?
In the world of finance, we talk to people every day about this very thing.
Many people start out wanting to get into the property market and if you are from Sydney or Melbourne, it can be very hard to get in given where property prices are at.
Once they get into the market, some decide to upgrade their home.
Some then decide that they would like to invest in property so they can build their wealth and achieve a level of financial freedom where they can reduce their working hours or stop work completely.
All of the above is certainly possible but I can also say with certainty that it will be almost impossible to achieve these things without first knowing where you are going.
When was the last time you stopped to think about where you are now and where you want to be in the future?
If you haven’t done this for a while, there is really no better time then right now to do this.
And don’t be afraid to dream big. Why not set what might seem like big goals like paying off your home loan the next 10 years (not 30)….or I want to build my dream home in this location…or I want to retire by age x.
When thinking about where you are going or where you want to go, take some time to think about why you want to be there and remind yourself of this every day. This will help you to build momentum and give you the kick start when things get hard, and life tries to pull you off track.
The beauty of doing this is you don’t need to have the answers to how you are going to get there.
