I have been struggling on cashing out a couple loans. For a year. Nothing bad, making payments, but never actually just putting cash down and never having to worry about them again. I set goals about a month ago now, added them to the lock screen of my phone, and wrote them on my bedroom wall. With those two CONSTANT reminders(the average 20 yr old opens their phone over 150 times a day) I have been keeping my mind focused on the plan. Didn't spend a single unnecessary red cent, seeked out more clients, and didn't drive more than needed. With that, I would like to announce that with the discipline that has helped me develop, I am NOW DEBT FREE!!! Paid off all my debts, fully moved the rest of my equipment onto my own land, and now I only owe gratefulness to the people who helped me get here. THAT is the power of setting goals, reminding yourself of them multiple times a day, and you stick to them. p.s. I'm getting a new starry night headliner for my work truck as a reward for this goal. (Will post pictures when installed) p.p.s. How do you guys set goal rewards that aren't monetary? Most of my goals at this stage of my life are about building a foundation, financially and physically, and spending money as a reward seems counter intuitive.

Not sure about you all, but I’m not in the habit of consistently reevaluating my marketing budget—didn’t really consider that as my business continues to grow, my marketing budget should change to reflect that growth. Also had not considered the “cost” of doing an event that was set at low cost to particulate in from a business acquisition standpoint. What is the event really costing me?? and is it worth my time and effort??! Anyone besides me going to take a look at their marketing differently??

I will have Peter Tranakos (35 yr corporate cpa) back in the studio next week. He wants to know if there are any aspects of accounting, tax planning, budgeting that the CSP Family would like for him to focus on. Whether that goes for business finance efficiency or your personal portfolio. -- The more detailed feedback you give, the better he can plan --- Not only does he need your feedback for next week's session but exciting news is that we will be making available full groupings of tax workshop modules in the coming months -- So let's hear it -- what parts of the world of tax planning and financial budgeting do you need to hear?

On a road trip and started it off with the abundance vs scarcity videos. This one hit a little close to home because it's something I've stuggled with as a young business. Sometimes making the offhand comment 'just paying the bills' comes a little too easy. In that work comes further and further between. On the other hand when I think positively and with eagerness business comes fast and grows. Real life example, pulled together with Tom's lesson. Moving forward I will be redoubling my efforts to refrain from speaking ill of my financial status. My question for my peers: What can I do to reward/discipline myself to speak with abundance?

My goal this week is to have the probably 7th draft of my 12 goals done by Friday, Oct 24th. My reward for such accomplishment will be either an outing with friends or a nice date. I've set them so many times, but never used them properly. In that, I intend to view them three times a day, which leads to my question for my peers this week. Which CSP videos and advice helped you build routines best? I struggle particularly with being a variable 20yr old bachelor and the freedom to be whither I want and to sleep whither I park at the end of the day. Most days when I'm home I have a good routine of brekkist, quiet time, and organizing, but on the road that routine goes out the window as I handle whatever business throws at me.
