Businesses and entrepreneurs have become experts at microwaving rather than Crock-Potting their business plan. They are so worried about the moment, Q1 or Q2, that they lose their vision and their soul. They trade real, rich, abiding, deep success for the momentary win and then are constantly having to start over. Have a long-term vision and execute it. As the billionaire advised me, slow and steady wins the race.

No matter how blessed or distressed you are financially, your first priority every month is to cover what I call the Four Walls. Think of it as the four walls that hold your house together. They are food, shelter, clothing, and transportation.

Zig Ziglar says, “If you aim at nothing, you’ll hit it every time.” I love how Zig cuts right to the heart of the matter. If you don’t have a target, if you don’t have a goal in mind, then you’ll never get where you want to go. Most people take a “Ready-Fire-Aim” approach to budgeting. They get the money, spend the money, and then wonder why they don’t have any money. It’s crazy!

Goals Must Have a Time Limit Goals without a time limit are unable to be broken down into micro goals to measure your progress, to observe your traction. You might say, “I want to write a book.” Great, when? In twenty years? In twenty months?
