They help lay the stepping stones to success.

When it comes to our financial lives, common financial freedom goals are often “repay your mortgage” & “replace your employment income”.

These are all fantastic goals.

In our experience, we have found when people attach their values or why this goal is important to them, it provides more meaning and increases the probability of achievement.

Most of the time past experiences and individual filters will be placed on each goal.

Everyone has different goals and that is ok.

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but the unfortunate reality is that it does buy choices and choices are something that you want at all stages of life.

  • Values
    • What is important about it?
    • You need to know where you are going.
    • Different goals require different strategies.
    • It helps shape your career choices
    • It helps you stay focused.
  • Methods
    • how will I get it?
    • Now you have your goals outlined & why they are important to you, it is time to start building the plan around this to map out how you will get there.

Much like a GPS – you know where you are now, you understand your destination & now you have to work out the best route to get there.

Many people will opt to do this alone, however, if you have had these goals for several years & are yet to achieve them, it may be time to bring someone else in to support you & keep you accountable.

Generally, most people seek advice & support from family members or spouses, however, your finances and goals can be very personal, and you may not want to share your goals or financial situation with your family.

The alternative is to outsource this to a financial advisor who can provide expert advice, support & guidance.

This is the job that they do day in and day out.

They have the experience of hundreds of clients before you, they understand what works and what doesn’t work.

You can also lean on them to avoid mistakes as you only have one opportunity at life, and you want to ensure you get it right.

However, if you look to build your plan, ensure it has the steps to get you to achieve your goals.
