How I involve in planning to be financial free?
Hi, finally a new post after leaving the blog and without any updates for 2 weeks. Yes, I am still in good condition and I will continue update this blog.
So what actually happen to me? Hmm…. Nothing special, but just involve in planning for my future. Recently I read an article from Steve Pavlina at stevepavlina.com about planning. It was an old post from him and this post is about how he plans for his future by setting a goal, mission, dateline and 90 day plans.
After reading the article, I think maybe I should have a plan for me and this blog too. I never have a really clear plan before but just a goal where I want to achieve financial freedom for my life. This goal is not enough and concrete because I do not set a time, how much money I want to be financial freedom, how I am going to be financial free, what can I do and so on. So this will be harder to achieve financial freedom.
At that time my mind is disorder and full of question about my future. So I decided to sit down and go away from my computer (Not really 100% away, I still check my mails and read some news from the internet and wrote down a plan for me. I never imagine that write down a plan is so hard. In planning, there are always some inner negative voice came out from my heart and said “You do not know what happen to future, how you plan it. I think this is the common problem that everyone will have in planning for future. However, according to Steve Pavlina, a plan is just a written goal and guide on how you get to the goal. It is flexible and adjustable. So we just have to write down what we can think about and do at the moment to hit our goal. But from time to time, we still have to revise the plan and improve it. There is no worse plan, but a better plan.
Finally after 2 weeks of research, reading and writing, finally my plan is out. There are a lot of question come to my mind, so I have to do some research and consult my mentor about my plan. This is the first time I really have a written plan, although I wrote them in my computer instead of getting them into a piece of paper. I feel that my confidence level is high. Maybe this is the power of a plan. A plan can help you have a conscious mind that you have a journey that you will go through to achieve something and motivate you to take action. At least it helps me remove my uncertainty which is one of the biggest obstacles that block me from doing anything successfully. Now I have my plan and I am going to test it in daily basic. In certain condition, I will change my plan accordingly. Life is really hard to predict but a plan is flexible and should be change according to the condition. In addiction, I will learn more knowledge from time to time, so my plan will be change and improve according to my knowledge. Maybe I can shorter my time to financial free, or even improve the possibility to be success.
That is all for my first post after 2 weeks of non-blogging. Now I feel really happy and excited with my plan. If you want to feel it too, make plan for yourself and you will have the same results like me.;)
