Keeping Score

As the first month of this year ends, I’ve come to the realization that I need to keep score. My primary method will be money. I’ll be tracking my income closely moving forward. It’s something I haven’t paid much attention to in the past. I was a bit cavalier in my approach to finances. My thinking was my Creator will provide, and he has and will to continue to, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have to do my part.

It’s no longer acceptable for me to approach something with such relevance at this point. I have to prioritize my financial well being. It’s paramount. I’m behind in multiple aspects of my finances. My choices have inhibited current opportunities and when the only inhibitor is money, that’s no longer acceptable.

I’m keeping score. Everything has a cost. I’ve said it for years that we either pay with time or money. I’ve been paying for my business with more time than money and sweat equity can only accomplish so much. Money is a tool and an accelerator. It’s time to keep score. It’s time to be accountable. It’s time to be uncomfortable. It’s time to invest in me and my financial being. It’s time to do those things I’ve been hesitant to do.

Today, Tuesday, January 31, 2023, I am grateful that:

I’m willing to have conversations in areas I haven’t had with people I trust. Being accountable I require. It’s something I have to strive towards and I’m willing to be uncomfortable to get to where I need to go.

I’m getting some items scratched off the list. It’s a little progress and I’m not exactly where I’d like to be in regards to my plan, but I am making progress.

In order to get what I need to get, I’m willing to do what needs to be done. Some people want things, but aren’t willing to be uncomfortable and grow. I’m happy to grow. I’m happy to be uncomfortable. I’m happy to have the chance for growth.

Have you abandoned your new year’s resolutions?

Are you holding to your purpose and moving forward, no matter what?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
