Do you make New Year's resolutions every year and never follow through? Patrice Washington, Founder of Redefining Wealth, joins Your Cheddar to give a few tips on how you can turn those resolutions into actual results! First, Washington says people need to get over their fear of commitment. You can't just be "interested" in a goal. You need to be fully committed. She suggests breaking down the goal into very specific mini-goals. That will allow you to have a more personal connection with each step and will lead to a higher rate of completion. Plus, you need to have a money-making space before you can achieve any type of goal. Washington says to set an intention and then remove the clutter. She also suggests surrounding your work or personal environment with positive words and keeping your goals in front of you...maybe on a vision board!
