Is Your Financial Comfort Zone Keeping You Stuck?

Are you someone
who likes security, being in control
and “knowing” what’s next?

OR

Are you
someone who delights in uncertainty and enjoys challenging yourself?

The majority
of us fall somewhere in the middle and we tend to stick with what we
are familiar with. Most people are creatures
of habit, from how we brush our teeth to how we handle our finances. Let’s
be real, it’s feels a lot easier to keep things the same than to change
our habits.

You may make the
decision to up level one of your goals
(e.g.. generate more money, get physically fit, or enjoy a
closer relationship with your loved one) but you may be
disappointed with your results.

Why is it that
people don’t achieve their goals and dreams right away? One very
important reason: we slip back onto our old habits and patterns and
this keeps us stuck. In weight management research, scientists call
this a “set point”. What researchers have discovered is that
people tend to stay within a particular “set point” in their
weight–even if they diet or not–and yo-yo dieters, who experience some
success, will often slide back to their comfort zone weight and familiar
patterns.

Guess what? This set point concept also
applies to our money mindset. Whether we realize it or not, we have
financial set points and this can dramatically
affect how you are able to attract the type of client/customer
you desire AND your pricing.

You can test this financial set point theory for yourself.

  • How much did you earn this month? Write it down.
  • How much did you earn in the last 12 months?
    Write it down.
  • Add them up and divide by 12– you’ve got your
    set point.

Did you just have a big aha? Most people
discover that yes; indeed they have a financial set point. If you’d like
to change your financial set point and increase
your income here’s what to do:

Steps to Creating More Cash Flow:

1. Create
a New Monthly Set Point-Do
this by raising your current set point by 10-20% For example: if your
set point is 7,000 a month and you increase your financial target this month by
10 %, then your new money goal is 7,700.00. Increase it by 20% and your new
financial goal is 8,400.00

2. Get
Creative and Get into Action-.Determine what you could offer that you are really
excited that will enable you to bring in this extra amount
about start marketing this product or service.

3. Celebrate
your results! Lather,
rinse, and repeat. Do the financial set point process each month for
the next 12 months and you will see a huge difference both in your confidence
level and your bank account.
