Even if you’re not in a position right now to jump into property, there are still many things you can do to prepare yourself for when your circumstances change. You’ll be surprised by how the very act of making a commitment to yourself to start building a strong financial wall around you and your family can immediately impact your life.
While you might think you’re just making a decision to do something like start a better savings plan, what you’re actually doing is deciding to make a positive change that will have a domino effect on every other area of your life.
Spring is a great time to enact change, because as we get closer to the holiday season you can look back at the end of the year with a sense of pride and take that positive change-ready mindset into the new year.
I know that before we make any decision, there’s usually a period of hesitation or doubt, but I can almost guarantee you that as soon as you make a step towards change, however small, you will feel more hopeful and more positive about your future because you know you have taken action.
Let’s use the analogy of going to the gym and getting in shape. Before you commit, you’ve probably already spent some time thinking about going, and even though you know if will be good for you, you’ve put it off for one reason or another. Once you set foot inside, you start to feel better about yourself because you’ve finally taken some action. The more you start to see a physical change, the better and happier your emotional mindset.
It’s the same for your financial health and wellbeing. Getting in the property market is something you may have been putting off, but once you take that step, your mindset will almost automatically switch into a new gear.
- You’ll be more focused on what’s happening in the market – which in turn will lead to better decision making.
- You’ll be more proactive and motivated to seek out expert advice.
- Because you have ‘skin in the game’ you’ll be paying attention to the property market and be more attuned to the opportunities.
- You’ll be in a more positive frame of mind knowing you are on the way to building your financial freedom.
