I decided to join J. Money’s Million Dollar ClubSetting goals is the way to put your plans into motion.  Brian Tracy says that a goal not written down typed out, is just a dream because it has no energy.  You are definitely more likely to accomplish your goals if you put them down on paper.  It gives you something to follow and each time you scratch an accomplishment off of the list, you gain motivation.  Hmmm, that sounds familiar right?  Your Total Money Makeover is the same kind of plan.  You do each baby step, one step at a time, and as you graduate to the next step you experience an emotional adrenaline rush.  That intensity makes you dig in and push harder.  Debt be gone…YEAH!

Take these steps to start your new journey:

Time to get those goals down on paper.  Print out your goals and post them on the fridge to remind you often of your path to debt freedom and a one million dollar net worth.  Check out my Million Dollar Club goals below and consider setting your own financial goals.
