The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

As we head into a new year there is the inevitable buzz about new year resolutions.  Some of the resolutions are specific, like “reducing my $10,000 of debt”.  Sometimes the goal is a little vague like, “getting myself in shape”.  What we have discovered is the best resolution you can have is that you invest.

Compound interest is the seventh wonder of the world.  It is a fantastic thing- provided it’s not your debt.  But compound interest works in more ways than simply dollars and cents.  Interest can be defined in a lot of ways- stated interest, effective interest, simple interest, and compound interest just to name a few.  The concept we are trying to convey is that you simply need to invest in yourself.  It doesn’t even have to be money.

Money has no value other than what we give it.  We value time.  I can make more money, but I can’t make more time.  So this year, we recommend you focus less on the money, and more on the time.

Invest time in yourself.  Whatever day your birthday falls on, we recommend you celebrate it EVERY month.  We are not suggesting you buy yourself something every month.  We are suggesting that you invest in yourself every month.  Take that day to create and develop a plan to mold the future you want to have- or protect the present you have come to establish.  Use the day to decompose and unplug to rejuvenate.  Learn a new thing. Exercise.  Whatever it is, use that day to invest in you.

There is an old saying that “good luck happens to those that work hard”.  That is mostly true.  What it is confirming is that those that work hard are investing in themselves.  By consistently doing this, you get the “luck” of the compound interest that accumulates.  The interest of what you invest in yourself breeds growth.

So- HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Make the Choice. Make the Change. Delta.
