Resolutions

Since it is New Year’s Eve it’s time to create or set your resolutions for the coming year. That is for those of you that do this once a year. What would you like to see better or different in your life next year? How hard are you willing to work to make it happen. Remember that for every positive change that you would like to see happen a corresponding negative habit must be let go. As you can’t set a goal to read 30 books a year if you are still watching 3 hours a tv a night.

The most common New Year’s resolutions are to workout more, lose weight and make more money. If these are on your list, then the best approach is to start small and improve it over time. For example start with 10 min online yoga or pilates class and work up to 45 min classes. As for your healthy eating, one meal at a time is the best approach. Consider trying the Noom app as it will help with the mindset around heathy eating.

Lastly and most importantly to many people is making more money. Do you need to change careers? Work smarter or more hours? Start a side hustle or your own business. Whatever it is just get started and do something. The then trick it to stay consistent, do a little bit every day and never never never give up. A study in 2018 found that only 4% of people stuck to their goals that they have set. Be one of those people.

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering ‘it will be happier’…” Alfred Lord Tennyson

Today I am thankful for my Friday calls with my family, my daily french lessons on Duolingo and a quiet evening at home with the kids.

I look forward to hearing from you in regard to your mortgage needs.

Big Goals are meant to be shared!

At one time or another everyone has started off a new year with a list of goals and objectives they want to accomplish. The common goals that people have are; to lose weight, quit smoking, get in shape, make more money and get out of debt. They start the new year off with all the right intentions; some take action but not everyone. Most people quit before they succeed. What most people don’t realize is those who do succeed, did not do it on their own.

We have all heard the common expression “No man is an island.” It couldn’t be truer when it comes to achieving goals and getting ahead in life. People who successfully lose weight seek the advice of those who have done it before – from diet books, fitness trainers or support groups. 

Sharing your goals with your friends, family or the internet world in general has the following benefits: 

1) It makes you accountable to actually following through.

2) It brings you together with other like minded people. When two or more people of like minds come together you will experience what one of my favorite writers, Napoleon Hill, calls the mastermind effect – where the effect is greater than the sum of the parts.

3) You leave yourself open for others to help you reach your target.  

4) Your goal becomes bigger and more powerful.    

5) Call it what you want, but things just start to happen to help you reach your goal. 

This being said, I would like to share with you a few of my main goals. I know with your help anything is possible.

My goals are to be successful both in personal and professional life.  I will not settle for one without the other!

  • In my professional life, I want to help one person or family a week develop strategies to become debt free. To show companies how to effectively manage their debts to grow their business, and show that personal service and education are more important that the fine print of mortgage contracts.
  • In my personal life, I want to give the best care, support, time, attention and love to my wife Gillian, my daughters Ella & Georgia and to my son Beckett, and to appreciate and share every single free moment that I spend with them.  

Thank you for listening to my goals.  If you know of anyone who needs help reaching their goal of becoming debt free, please pass on my contact information.  I will reach my goals by helping others reach theirs – a great way to for everyone to succeed! 

Cheers,
Pat
