Who is Your Cheerleading Squad?
I believe that to overcome money issues it is important to remove the obstacles that are preventing the flow of money to enter your life. If you can't extract those obstacles because they are bigger than boulders, then get some help. There is no one better to help you overcome what seems to be monumental barriers to success than a life coach.
If a life-coach isn't financially in your budget then enlist a dear friend to serve as your personal cheerleader. You could line up a whole cheerleading squad of personal friends and family members who care about your success. Let them know their job is to listen and NOT give you advice and to cheer you on your path to success.
You know instinctly what you need to do to make a change in your life, regardless of the task you face. Think of something that is holding you back and sit down with a pen and paper. Take a few breaths and tap into that inner guru and then write down 20 possible solutions to your problem. Just let the ideas move freely even though they might seem outlandish. Some of our best ideas are born of what might be deemed crazy thinking. Once you are finished you will surprise yourself at the amazing options you have now created.
If you are having a bit of trouble with motivation, you know who to call. Your cheerleading team. Set up a daily 5 minute phone call first thing in the morning with one of your rah rah's and tell them your plans for the day to reach your goals and let them give you a few words of encouragement to keep you on track. A little pep talk goes a long way.

Way to go Tiffany. I loved your idea for creating my own cheerleading squad. What I felt especially valuable was the idea that I should tell them NOT to give me advice just pep talks on going after my goals. I am really looking forward to reading your blog in the upcoming months.
I have trouble removing obstacles around money especially when it comes to my tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. It feels like an albatross hanging around my neck. I like the idea of calling someone every day to help me work through my issues so I can get on with my life and prosper.
I agree with you on having personal cheerleaders! Good friends will not let you down or let you forget your focus. With positive encouragement around you, how can you go wrong. Thanks for tips and I look foward to more great thoughts.
Great tips on this blog! Thank you.
The most important part is having a plan. Having a specific plan helps a lot.
We got our plan at www.StickyAsset.com. They give you specific ideas on how to save money, how to create more leverage as a consumer (save money) and invest without taking huge risks. While they provide a plan, they really focus on getting you to talk to your family about developing your own plan. That makes a big difference, too. That's because of the "buy in" from everyone in our family.
I agree that it is important to have other people who you talk with and who can support you, but it really starts at the home front.
Thank you.
Hank
