It’s not the destination, but rather the journey…

Posted in General by Brad on March 11th, 2007

So I’m here at the computer flipping back and forth between spreadsheet, bank statement, Paypal account, and calculator. Getting this work done, even at a personal level, is giving a great practice in terms of financial integrity. Restoring that has been a primary concern of mine since I started my fledgling business, as I know that how I am with personal finances will reflect on how I am with my business finances. Getting into the practice of effectively and efficiently managing money is something that we all should learn at a young age. I’ve been efficient in the past, and not overly effective. Combining the two is taking some courage and understanding – a bit of a learning curve I have to say.

I find that I am giving myself over to this sort of thinking – that of organization and of being a great money manager – as the means to the many ends. Yes, I want to be successful. Yes, I want my business to flourish. Yes, I want to add value to people’s lives. Yes, I will do what it takes – including taking the time to do the spreadsheets and financials – to make this all work. I can do this on a shoestring budget too (my strong suit in efficiency!).

Add to that the new financial success group that I have helped formed with a friend and some new friends made after we did the Millionaire Mind training seminar. We now have a structure in place every Sunday evening to get together to talk of our successes, whatever they may be, and to create accountability and the possibility of our various conversations alive. We are here to support one another, and to lend our various talents and expertise to the whole group. You never know what someone can contribute to your life, or vice versa, unless you are talking and actively communicating. To have such people in life is truely a blessing.
