GREENSBORO, N.C. — Here's some friendly advice if you're dreaming of striking it rich; wake up! It's all in your dreams.
Apart from winning the lottery, most instant money dreams don't come true unless you put in some hard work.
Wednesday on the Good Morning Show, money expert Ja'Net Adams shared some key ways to get your financial goals in order.
"So many of us go through life thinking that if we just keep waking up every morning then everything will just work itself out. Life really does not work like that and your finances definitely don't work like that. You have to be more intentional when it comes to your money," said Adams.
Adams, who wrote the book The Money Attractor lists three ways to get started to reaching your money goals.
1. Write The Vision
"Before I started paying off the $50K of debt I knew I needed a plan. I got out a piece of paper and started writing my short-term, intermediate, and long-term financial goals. This sheet would become my “Dream Sheet” and it helped me stay focused on my financial goals," said Adams.
2. Put It Your Goals Where You Can See Them
"Your plan is useless if you just throw it on a desk and forget about it. If you want to accomplish the dreams you wrote down then that piece of paper needs to be hung up where you can see it every day and be reminded of what you want the most in life."
3. Adjust, Don't Abandon
"There will be times after you write your dreams and goals where you will hit some roadblocks. When the roadblocks come you are not to abandon your vision, but instead adjust it and keep going," she added.
The key, Adams says is to write down your goals and stick to them.
"If you write it down you have a much higher chance of seeing the financial goals become reality!"
