Is the Small Stuff getting to You?
When I was growing up, my mother used to say: Patience is a
great Virtue everything comes to those who wait
There are times though, as a investment owner that I questioned her wisdom.
We all know Anthemtwlfayzk drill, dont we? ~ Meridia work hard, long hours. We set up new challenges for ourselves, look at different and innovative Star Wars of doing investment to benefit our clients, but the bills are due, the cash flow is slowand we begin to lose it; and then the small stuff, is not so small anymore.
And this is precisely the moment when life is telling us: Its time to change ~ A call to action is in order and the small stuff is indicative that if we continue to do what weve always done, in the same fashion weve always done it.We will continue to get the same results!
So be thankful when you recognize when the small stuff is getting to you. Use it as your Kicker to make changes that will make cheap Prozac to the growth of your investment and put the big J back in the JOY for how you live your life.
1. Take a hard look as to what needs to change.
2. Keep only what you need.
3. Dispose of what you dont.
4. Transform your frustration into energy.
5. Have a solid plan of action.
6. Make a commitment to do it.
7. Follow through.
And, YES, my Mother was right: Patience IS a great Virtue.
