Lower levels of basically everything we desire financially.
Countless independent studies have been done comparing people with written financial goal plans and those without. The findings are conclusive and eye-popping:
- Higher levels of peace-of-mind are achieved.
- Goals are reached at higher rates.
- Smarter decisions are made.
- Mistakes are greatly reduced.
- Areas for improvement are identified.
- Confidence is increased.
- Risks to our family and lifestyle are identified.
- Being accountable to something and someone yields progress.
In theory, we “could” do a plan ourselves. But, will we? The overwhelming odds are….no.
