Kicking Goals With Moneysoft

Setting clearly defined goals is the very first stride to financial success – and Moneysoft is with you every step of the way. Ancient Greek philosopher and intellectual, Aristotle, stated that for mankind “...life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals”. Regardless of whether you’re aiming to buy property, go on a holiday or fund your retirement, once you’ve established your objectives, targets and timeframes, Moneysoft calculates your path to achieving financial independence. Before you can embark on this journey of success, however, it’s important to first understand the importance of aspirations. Putting in place goals gives you long-term vision and motivation, it focuses your knowledge and organises your time and resources. Take it as read: all successful people — doctors, lawyers, athletes, business executives — set themselves challenging goals and are driven to realise them. High achievers surround themselves with other high achievers – success is contagious! It’s a great idea to seek out mentors, people who’ve already accomplished what you want to and pick their brains for advice. Create a “big picture” of what you want to attain, then dissect large-scale goals into smaller targets you must hit. If you’re not a goal-oriented individual by nature, it can appear a daunting task, but you can break down the process into not-so-overwhelming steps. Here are some goal-setting tips for when you’re about to commence the journey of success:

• Get specific - know and visualise precisely the goals you want to achieve;
• Keep it simple - make objectives clear and focussed; don’t complicate them;
• Give it significance - goals must have personal meaning and be worth achieving;
• Be strategic - plan to meet targets that positively impact many facets of your life;
• Measure it – what gets measured gets done, so track your progress;
• Stay rational – set goals you can (and will!) achieve;
• Write it down  - visual reminders crystallise goals and increase chances of success;
• Share it – success is more likely with a support network of family and friends;
• Stay true - ensure the goals you set are in agreement with your life values.
