Welcome 2010. Most people make New Years resolutions to lose weight, become a better person, help other, find a loving a relationship and so. However how many people consciously make a decision to increase their finances.

I know that there would be a lot of people who say things like..”I want to make $1Million dollars”, “I want to earn $100,000k per year income”, “I want to buy a beautiful new beach home”. Its wonderful that people have the intention for these things but if they don’t have a definate action plan to acheieve these things, then it is all just words and won’t lead to anything.

If you want a specific thing, like a car, house or pay rise you must do the following:

1. Have a strong burning desire to achieve them

2. Set a date in the future for when you want to have this or to achieve your goal.

3. Take some sort of action straight away toward achieving that goal.

For example: you wanted to make an additional $10,000 a month. You would first need to ask yourself “How can I increase my income”. You would be surprised to see what comes into mind.

If your a trader, you could continue to educate yourself in your current trading system. You can start being more focused on profits of trading rather than focussing on loses. You can have a definite intention for producing profitable signals and you can build your emotional intelligence to the point that you ride through the bad day and are still their trading the good trades.

If your an internet marketer you may want to analsyeyour webiste/blog and see what has produced the best results during 2009. For eaxample you may have had a lot of traffic and sales generated from articles and less from videos. So do up a plan to write and submit more articles.

You may want to increase your Web 2.0 exposure in sites such as Facebook, Twitter,My Space, Digg, Propeller and many other.

Continuing your education in these areas can only increase you sales.

Of you’re into Property, you may want to source new investment properties. Do some online searches of areas and their forecast for growth in 2010. Do a Google search on sites such as REIV, REIWA, Real Estate Institute and your state. These websites can give you enormous amounts of information of growth by suburb, rental returns, median prices and homes sold in that area. You will be able to get some great insight to whats going on in these towns, and then you can make am informed decision based of what you’ve learnt.

Regardless of what your investment goals for 2010 are you must do the following.

1. Have a strong burning desire to achieve them

2. Set a date in the future for when you want to have this or to achieve your goal.

3. Take some sort of action straight away toward achieving that goal.

All of the above points are as important as each other. You cannot do one with out the other.

Here is a statement I recently made for a goal I set for my self. I want to purchase another investment property. So I said:

“I want to buy a 3-4 bedroom investment property with ocean views. I plan to have this property by Jun. The way I’ll achieve this is buy researching areas within my budget. Once I have found a number of properties that fit into my criteria I will contact the bank and access equity form other investments in order to purchase the new property. I know that I will have what I want as my desire is strong and this will make me happy and also provide tenants with a beautiful comfortable residence”

Now you statement can be something similar. I have found that Napolean Hillls book, Think and Grow Rich sums it up perfect. The book is responsible for more Millionaires than any other book in history so its worth a read. If you would like a free copy of the this great book you can download a copy here along with Jamie McIntyre Investment Free DVD.

If you stick to want you want, you can have almost anything you desire. Are you living the dreams and have you achieved the goals you set for yourself last year, or 2-3 years ago?. If not why not. There is no time like NOW to do something for yourself…Don’t you think you deserve it?
