How Important Is Money In Your Goal Setting?
A realistic look at the role of money in setting goals
True story...
A teenager once said to me that she did have a goal, but she
would never reach it because she didn't have money. Her goal was
to go overseas.
I told her that she should not only look at the big picture, but
that she should break down her goal into do-able steps. I spent
some time with her and explained that if she break her goal up
into steps, she could reach it.
I suggested that she look at finding part-time work, and that
she save the money she made. With part-time work paying little
money, I recommended that she use part of her savings and look
at starting and running a part-time business (she was interested
in making bead jewellery) - that way she would earn more money.
After I had finished talking to her, she felt a lot more
positive.

This example is a no-brainer as far as understanding that money
is directly needed for the accomplishment of the goal.
That's all fine and well, but you may be saying, "What if I
don't have goals that involve money?" Relationship goals,
fitness goals, study goals, or a myriad of other "non-monetary"
goals.
My friend, I cannot think of a goal that does not involve money,
in one way or the other.
Let's say you have fitness goals, study goals, or maybe a goal
to improve your relationship. How can money have anything to do
with these goals? For fitness goals you need to go to the gym,
for example. Relationship goals mean meeting a special someone,
or improving your relationship with a loved one. So, where does
money fit into the picture?
On the surface, without further thought, you'd think I was
crazy
to suggest that money had a role to play in these "non-monetary"
goals.
Let's look at where money fits in with non-monetary goals.
Fitness goals
You want to cycle every day/week? The bicycle costs money.
You want to go the gym? Membership fees cost money. The correct
clothes costs money.
You want a heart monitor to check your level of fitness? Costs
money.
Relationship goals
You want to woo that super special person? Gifts, restaurant
meal, movies - costs money.
You want show appreciation for your loved one? Again... gifts,
week-end away, whatever - costs money.
Study goals
Register for a course? Need books. Exam fees. This costs money.
- - - - - -
Does this mean we should just throw in the towel, and give up on
all our goals?
No, no, no, no, noooooooo!
Focus. It means we need to prioritize our focus.
And what does it mean to prioritize our focus?
