6 months down, 6 more months to go!

This is a time of the year that I normally like to take some time to take stock of the decisions I’ve made in the year and make plans for the rest of the year. We often spend so much time with our blinkers on that we don’t think about the long term.

I get it, there’s bills to pay, things to do, however one of the benefits of having financial security is that you can start to think in years instead of weeks or months.

What have you done in the last 6 months to achieve your long term goals, do you even have long term goals?

Take time this weekend, think about what you really want, what are your goals, and instead of writing down your goals write action items that lead to you achieving your goal, work backwards.

for e.g if you want to move jobs, instead of saying move jobs and get a 10k pay increase, write I’ll apply for 150 jobs a week with my required pay; I’ll reach out to 50 recruiters at the companies I want to work for on Linkedin; I’ll networth with 30 people who are doing what I want to do, in the field I want to do it in. That is actually actionable.

I’d love to hear your actionable goals.

P.S - I’m going to be posting a lot more on my youtube on topics you will genuinely find useful. Please subscribe, I’d really appreciate it: https://youtu.be/_R4deEzz-tI
