Picture yourself five years from now … what do you want your personal finance picture to look like?
How much money will you have saved? What will your children have learned from you about financial planning? Where will you and your spouse or significant other be on the path to financial freedom?
These are all wonderful questions to ponder.
As you’ve probably figured out by reading several of my previous Keyboard-Culture blog posts, I’m a big believer in being the architect of your own reality. That’s how I’ve been able to achieve many of the things I’m proud of today.
Let me share a technique that has been proven to help people reach incredible levels of success. I call it creating a prosperity picture™.
Go to a quiet place where you can focus. It could be in your study, the basement, walking in the woods … it doesn’t matter. The important thing is you must be able to clear out most of the ‘noise’ that assaults us on a daily basis.
Think about the questions at the beginning of this post, and come up with several of your own.
Little by little you begin to form mental pictures of what you want life to look like in the future.
Now describe these scenarios on paper and write down words and phrases that are significant to the images you have in your mind.
When you’re finished, start to scour magazines, newspapers, photographs and even your own bookshelves for advertisements, pictures, headlines and titles that resonate with your vision of financial freedom.
Make copies or cut out the items that will be important to your picture, and glue them onto a piece of poster board in any way that makes sense to you.
You will have created a collage of words, phrases and images that speaks to those you love and that which you will become.
After I pieced together my own prosperity picture™, I started to intensely focus on the future I wanted to create, and found doors to opportunities swing open like never before.
This is but one step on your personal finance journey to financial freedom.
The reason why most of the so-called personal finance “gurus” are clueless about helping you to become a millionaire is because financial planning is an inside job – we must have self worth before we can build net worth.
Own the power of your personal finances and retire a millionaire!
