New Year, New You Financial Summit

Frustrated with Your Finances?

Have you ever been all fired up about improving your finances and ended up failing? (*raises my hand*)

Why? (Or rather, why not?)

There can be a myriad of reasons, but many of us deal with some big hurdles such as:

  • Budget: We know we should save for emergencies, have something for retirement, and pay off our debts, especially high-interest ones. However, we only have so much money in our checking account.
  • Schedule: Between work and family, we might not have a ton of time.
  • Energy/Willpower: With all of our responsibilities it can be easy to see it can be tiring to add more to our plate.

The good news? Even with these hurdles, you can succeed.

I say this because a few years ago I was horrible with goals.

Today, my friends joke that I'm always making goals and getting stuff done.

So what changed?

I began taking notes and learning from others.

I shifted how I created my goals and it has made a HUGE difference.

These adjustments helped:

  • get almost $30,000 of debt paid off
  • allowed us to skip car loans and buy our vehicles with cash
  • contribute more for retirement

What if you two could have a guide who has been where you been and has already achieved your goal?

The most powerful way you can use to follow through on your goals is by following a model.

Think of it like a blueprint. You can see get really useful information like resources and tips that made a huge difference.

So how can you two find a model to follow in 2017?

Here's where the New Year, New You Financial Summit can be your guide.
