EVERY CHAMPION NEEDS A COACH

Riding a bike or driving for the first time is very uncomfortable because you are learning new habits. This will eventually become second nature and you will graduate to higher and bigger systems. In the meantime, to expedite your learning, start an accountability arrangement. Incorporate it into your daily prayers, but more importantly, talk about it. Tell others of your plans; better yet, teach this process to some church group, friends or stranger. By repeating the information verbally, you will marinate in the truth and it will force you to be obligated to following your pronouncements.

This is change in motion. We all need help to provide some direction and to get us past blockages. Two people can keep warm during cold weather and three cords are way stronger that one. Hold yourself accountable and take responsibility for the financial outcomes you want.

Accountability is an extremely good thing. It is not a tyranny. As a success-focused individual, you must accept total responsibility for your outcomes and answer to a third party in order to accelerate learning, achievement of goals, and ultimately boost your self confidence.

It may feel uncomfortable, but it works. Great athletes all have coaches for each function: batting, bowling, fielding etc. Why not have a partner and a coach to propel you to your financial independence? Only by deliberate and intentional actions are you going to progress.

We must ask ourselves: What am I currently doing? Is it working for me?

When you work with a coach or mentor or partner, you will benefit in many ways by:

• Having a safe place to offload
• Developing skills you already have
• Learning new skills
• Gaining insight into yourself and the people you work with
• Getting unbiased, confidential support
• Gaining fresh perspectives on your issues
• Getting advice, suggestions and options

Move from monthly or weekly money management to daily money management and see what a world of difference it makes to your savings.

This shift, makes us think in terms of daily spending and when coupled with an allowance to self it does wonders.
