There is a very simple secret to becoming financially successful, and it’s called planning.

For example, you wouldn’t take a trip without planning it would you? First you have to decide where you are going, and then you must decide how you will get there, and finally you must decide what you will do once you get there. Without doing these steps, you won’t have much of a trip. It’s been said, if you don’t know where you are going, any destination will do.

People that are successful in their financial lives have certain traits in common. First of all, they know where they are going, and they know what they want. The most important trait they have in common is that they have a plan concerning money and how it affects their lives. Follow this plan and you’ll be well on your way to financial success!
