Any goal that is not clearly written down is nothing more than a wish. It's not enough to just say the things you want to achieve, you also need to take a step further to writing them down. The process of identifying something you wish to accomplish and establishing measurable objectives with time-frames to help you achieve is called GOAL SETTING.

Your goals have to be SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE, ACHIEVABLE, REALISTIC AND TIME-BOUND.

I always thought financial planning was what people did when they already have money. 

I didn't know that the reason I never had enough money was because I wasn't planning and budgeting! 

Financial planning is simply thinking about our money and income goals. These can be goals for ourselves, our families and/or our businesses. Asking yourself questions such as: 

What do I want to achieve financially and by when?

How much do I need to earn to meet my goal?

How much do I need to save/invest to meet my goal?

When you answer these questions and some of the others in this episode, you will come out with the outlines for your financial plan! 

If you need help, you can also download my free financial planning toolkit by sending me a direct message on instagram @infinitengozi
