consulting tip

If you want to accomplish financial goals, you need to figure out what goals are important to you first. Having a clear goal can keep you motivated and help you come up with a plan to reach that goal even faster. Now, don't think that you need to set outrageous goals. If this is your first time thinking about personal financial goals, start off small and work your way up from there. I'd suggest coming up with a few different goals in each of these categories:

• What you want to achieve in the next 3-months
• In the next year
• In the next five years This way you'll have some short-term goals to look forward too, and some long-term goals to work towards as well. Your short-term goals may even be small stepping stones towards your bigger goals. Here are some examples of good financial goals:
• Save $1,000
• Buy a house
• Start investing So, remember to set long-term and short-term goals, and keep track of them too! Write them down somewhere and set a day each month to track your progress.
