Last week I had an incredible opportunity to lead a Goal Setting and Achievement Workshop for the members of Lifestyles Unlimited, which provides education and mentoring for real estate investors.
One of the members of the group asked this goal setting question: "My kids want to go on a summer vacation but my wife and I want to save for a nicer home. How do we determine which one we should do?"
I gave what I thought was a pretty good answer. Then Del Walmsley, the founder of Lifestyles Unlimited, spoke up. He said, "Don't do the vacation or upgrade your house. Instead invest in real estate and then let the return on your investments fund your dream home and vacations."
Boom!
Am I saying that a nice home and vacations are something we can't enjoy? Absolutely not. But I agree with Del (and Dad) 100% - when you have a big dream and big goals - make sure your smaller decisions and choices don't steal your dreams.
Do you have a big dream? Is it written out in detail into a goal? Does your daily behavior prove you are serious about your dream/goal?
You can do it!
