7 Major Changes that Allow for Self-Improvement

Today, I'm sharing simple but potentially life changing tools that have improved areas in my life and more certainly things that I feel can help improve yours as well if you give them a shot.


#1) Spending Time Alone 

 I have found that I have learned a lot about myself when spending time alone. I got a chance to learn what I enjoyed and didn't enjoyed without factoring in others feelings.  As I learned more about myself it was easier to learn and observe more about others while out.

#2) Daily Reflection

It's the daily goals that we set that allows us to eventually accomplish the major goals. And from personal experience I feel deeply that a little daily reflection is a game changer because when you force yourself to answer 'how can you improve for tomorrow', you come up with answers and you make little improvements that turn into big ones.

#3) Reading

1. It improves your reading skills. 2. Improves your social skills. 3. Because I said so lol.

#4) Writing Down Ideas

The best way I can think to improve yourself, is to simply think of ways to do so.  Example. the idea of cutting bad habits

#5) Working on Passion Projects

When I was working long hours at the mall making what seemed to be a lot of $, I still didn't feel more alive until I'd come home and start working on my book. I think it gave me hope that I was still moving forward to do something I love for a living.

#6) Reward your Progression! 

No matter how old you are, you still have the little kid in you that feels good when your hard work is noticed, so before anyone else starts notices, you reward your own progression and celebrate yourself.

Stress, Stress, go Away...Don't Come Back

Every time something has gone wrong in my life, I have focused too much of the why of the things. "Why did this happen?" "Why is it happening at this time." But no longer is that me. I had to ASK myself what does that help? And I realized it never helped anything.  

Now when things go "wrong" I've realized that there are only two things that will happen either you'll conquer or be conquered by the circumstances. I had to make up my mind that the only real option was and is to conquer, because being conquered means to give up and give in. And if someone out there is depending on me or you to conquer then there is no such thing as being conquered. 

The best thing to do is to move forward and count your blessings and I know it's easier said then done to count the good things that have happened when everything seems to be falling apart but it's necessary in order to move forward. In order to continue to be blessed in your life you have to learn to appreciate all that you have been through, to get to where you are going.

Money Wasted Last Year

                            How I started savings for the first time in my life.  

    Last year I wasted a lot of money. This new year I was determined not to do the same. I got introduced to a financially advisor last year in my sociology class and i kept in contact with Ms.Jen(name change) for awhile before we lost touch. But some of the things that she taught me stick with me to this day, earlier this year I started back up  some of her tools. The most helpful for me was the idea of recording ALL of my expenses.

    When I started back up I was able to see what I wasting my money on; a lot of clothes, candy bars, and just a lot of the things i could do without if i wanted better spending habits. 

Now unconsciously I always think about every purchase. It’s like this, I’ll see a dress in Angl that i want but then i’ll say that I can put that money into my savings account instead and watch it grow. So it turns into a no on the skirt. 

                                                Where my money goes?

    EVERY single source of income that I receive goes into the six categories below.  It’s something I learned at a seminar by Peak Potentials called Millionaire Mind Intensive. Where I learned that before you can have the right to want anymore money in your life you have to learn to manage whatever you have now to the last cent. It’s why there are millionaires living pack check to paycheck. Everyone no matter who you are have to learn how to manage their money well. 

Example: My imaginary $100 bill.

10 % Play Account = $10

Play Account, once a month everything in this account is to be spent on something nice for yourself. 

10% Education Account  =$10

On things that are seen as educational in your eyes. For me this is books, a kindle, or anything that helps me better myself through knowledge. 

10% Give Account =$10

Give account, is where you give it all away to someone/thing other than yourself, and if you think about it, the give money is giving away through holidays and birthdays gifts throughout the year anyway.

50 % Necessities Account =$50

Essential expenses that you can't function without, if you feel like you barely have enough already for this account its time to reevaluate where all your money is going by recording all of your expenses. Maybe cut back on some of those McDonalds trip, and eat at home more if thats one of your problems. Find your spending weakness. 

10% Long term savings Account =$10

This account is for unexpected expenses, or saving up for a big item, or even vacation.

10%Financial Freedom Account =$10

This account is the account that you don't ever take anything out. And my suggestion when it gets up put it a interest bearing account. Talk to someone at your local bank about it. 

    *I am no financial advisor, I am only sharing some tools that i have learned and applied to my own life that have worked for me. I’m not saying that the system will work for you, but it is worth the try if you want to make chances in your own personal finances. Even if finding another system to try other than the one above, because if you change NOTHING, NOTHING will change. 

CEO Tips: Ensuring Daily Results in Your Life

Daily Debrief Notebook

A Daily Debrief allows for self-reflection. Where you take a look over your day and figure out what you did well and not so well so you can improve tomorrow. This is the key to progression, because you don't get to where you want to be with big spurts all the time because a lot times it's the things you do daily that get you there. Such as this form of self-improving. 
This simple tool has been life changing for me. I feel compelled to share it, it was introduced to me by Harv T. Eker in  his book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. And t's something that is so simple and so easy to do, all it takes us continuous effort to see how much it can improve your life.
What to do on a daily debrief?

Well: one thing you did well

Not well: one thing you didn't do well

Well: explain what you did to create the situation

Not well: explain what you did to create the situation

Goal: make you become accountable for your life and make you aware of the strategies that are working for you and the ones that aren't. So you can become closer to your major goals in life.
