While many of us have a clear idea of where we want to go in life, we may be a bit overwhelmed by not knowing how to get there. Often we discover that the way to financial independence and getting out of debt is littered with obstacles. One way to get past a few of these roadblocks is simply to plan in reverse.

Goal setting is such an important tool in our life’s journey. By setting goals, they seemingly serve as miniature road markers on our way to where we want our lives to go. More importantly, by looking at goal setting in a different way than we may have in the past, it allows us to acknowledge goal accomplishment as an even more powerful life skill.

In other words, we have learned that simply setting goals is not enough to get where we want in life. We know we actually have to accomplish these goals and reset new ones all along the way. Goal accomplishment should bear most of our focus, not just the act of setting goals.

Now, what do we mean by walking backward? What about driving in reverse? Honestly, walking backward to get out of debt means that you take time to look back or review the goals you have set. It also means taking a look at what you have accomplished and using this information to plan future goals and accomplishments.

If you have become an expert at setting and accomplishing goals, walking backward can take you to the next level in your life. As an expert goal setter, we should have major goals set, maybe six- to twelve-month goals, and we should have smaller benchmarks set which fit inside the framework of the larger goals.

Going further, if we had a goal set to accomplish by the end of this calendar year, we should have monthly goals as benchmarks to guide us toward our year-end goal. When expressed in this way, we can grasp the concept of walking backward as just looking over the goals and mini-goals we set during the year.

Reflecting on these goals will serve many purposes. The first purpose would be to understand exactly where we are in relation to accomplishing our large goals. Another purpose would be to determine if we need to adjust our plan, or change direction completely. This is crucial in mastering goal accomplishment.

By walking backward, we are just reviewing our plan. So if we notice we are not going in the right direction, or if we have just strayed off target a bit, we are able to make adjustments and get back on target. A very important purpose that walking backward serves is giving us the ability to take time to acknowledge what we have accomplished thus far.

Let’s be honest. A strong sense of self-worth, the satisfaction of getting something done, or the self-esteem boost we get when we accomplish something is a powerful tool that we can use as we go forward. Imagine what would happen by our setting good goals, accomplishing them and getting those powerful feelings each and every time we walk backward, or review our life map.

It would undoubtedly inspire us to do even more, reach even higher, and accomplish more than we ever dreamed. So by walking backward, we can use this step as a powerful tool in getting out of debt.

The global economic crisis has sent many of us searching for ways to supplement our incomes. Unemployment rates are at an all-time high and traditional methods of generating income are getting harder to come by. Here are a few ways to double your income with minimal effort or skill required.

There are no hidden tricks or gimmicks that apply to unlocking untapped wealth. The truth is following a few simple guidelines will do wonders to help you realize financial freedoms you may think are unattainable.

Method number one: Become an expert at setting and meeting goals. Many of us may already understand this principle, but some of us may not be maximizing our achievement due to the way we set our goals.

First, set small benchmarks that are steps or action items toward the end goal or result. Make sure these benchmarks or mini-goals are easily attainable. Second, make sure the end goal and the benchmarks are measurable. Third, write the goals down so that they can be used as a daily reminder of the changes being made.

Method number two: Choose a career doing something you love. Again, many of us may be fully aware of a passion or love we have for something, but we do not understand how powerful it can be.

There have been studies that have shown how people who are involved in a field that they are truly passionate about are more productive, healthier and enjoy higher financial returns.

While it may not seem practical to change careers in mid-stream, discovering ways to live and or work in one’s passion can be the first steps toward financial success. Small steps toward your passion can lead to a larger change over time.

Method number three: Become an expert at taking action. Mastering the art of goal setting and knowing what your passion is will not affect the overall changes you seek-action will.

If you were on a boat going north and you steered the craft even one degree to the right or left, sooner or later you will be going south. This change of direction was not caused by doing nothing; it was caused because you took action and began the process of changing direction.

In fact, taking action may be the most important step in doubling your income or anything else. Simply writing down a goal or finding your life’s passion will remain like ships in the distance if there is no action taken.

It should be obvious to you by now that the most effective way to double your income is to make changes in your every day life, and to take action to affect those changes. There is no magic bullet in accomplishing this task, only the action you take toward accomplishing the goals.

Even the smallest steps to that end will have a dramatic effect on your financial outlook. Beyond goal setting or even having a healthy passion for life, reaching financial goals will have a positive impact on your self esteem, which will make you healthy, wealthy and wise.

You can double your income as soon as you learn the lesson of this powerful world event. Let me explain …

You know that US President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 2009. That’s good for him and for his political career. It’s good for the world as a symbol, as an icon of breaking through barriers.

But, what lesson is there for you so that you can thrive financially? What lesson is there in this event to show you a path to double your income?

There are two lessons.

The first lesson is called “OVERCOME YOUR OBSTACLES”.

Obama had huge obstacles to overcome. Kennedy was the first Roman Catholic US President and, though it does not seem like a big obstacle these days, it was then. Bill Clinton fought against what seemed like certain impeachment. And Obama had to fight the double obstacle that firstly Hillary Clinton seemed to be the Democratic Party’s certain choice and that secondly he was black. Yet he did indeed overcome these double obstacles and succeed. His rewards? Well, he is now the President of USA; he’s the most powerful man on earth; and he is now also a Nobel Laureate. Overcome obstacles and giant success awaits you.

The second lesson falls within the realm of “TREND MARKETING”.

On the day that the announcement was made of Obama’s Peace Prize, Google logged millions of searches related to this event. So how can you profit? What you do is create some ‘bridge’ between Obama’s win and your product or service. What could you do? Well, if you are a dentist, Dr. Good-Tooth in Miami for example, you could mount a blog post on your blog that says something funny like “Dr. Good-Tooth’s Win of the Most Wonderful Miami Dentist Award Overshadows Obama’s Peace Prize Announcement”. Your blog will likely get thousands of hits that day instead of its usual number. Get the point? Use the huge traffic that the world event will create on Google searches to drive traffic to your blog post, for your own financial and entrepreneurial benefit.

We all want to get out of debt. Did you know that your self-worth and self-confidence are directly affected by the amount of debt you have? If you want to get out of debt fast, take this quiz to learn the tools necessary to having a happy and sane life, debt-free.

1.    To get out of debt, you must realize your…

a.    Debt : income ratio
b.    Family history
c.    Mission
d.    Credit score

2.    To accomplish your life mission you must…

a.    Know what it is
b.    Feel fulfilled everyday
c.    Have great joy in your life overall
d.    All of the above

3.    To have a life mission…

a.    You must know what it is
b.    You just have to look inside yourself
c.    Should clearly identify your life mission
d.    Both B and C are true

4.    To identify your life mission, focus on…

a.    The important things in your life
b.    Have a yearly plan, so you know where to go
c.    Have a plan for the month
d.    All of the above

5.    Most people have only one life mission.

a.    True
b.    False

Answers:

1.    (c) The only thing you really need to know is your life mission. To figure out what your life mission is, start identifying the things you love. This is the quickest path to getting out of debt.

You can have a credit score of 800 and still not get out of debt without the right attitude and a focused life mission. In this day and age, family history doesn’t matter unless you are Paris Hilton-and even she has made some effort towards her life mission…

2.    (d)   When you live your life in love and joy, you can more easily accomplish your life’s mission.

This always reminds me of this married couple I knew. One day I asked them to identify what they loved so that they would then be on their way to happiness. They came back to me telling me how bad things were one day. I asked if they were doing the things they loved on their list.

They said, “No, we put that list away.” Faced with the prospect of a new job that paid less or staying at a well-paying job that the husband hated, they didn’t know what to do.

I asked them what they would get out of staying at the old job. The answer was depressed, unemployed, and unsatisfied. Need I say more?

3.    (d) You don’t have to know what it is to have a life mission. However, you can figure out what it is and live a happy and fulfilling life.

4.    (d) You need to have a plan for both the big and small picture. The only way to do this is identify what is important to you. Do you want to be a good dad? Or do you want to work at a mediocre job until retirement?

5.    (b) False, although you don’t want to spread yourself thin, most people have a few things they really excel at.

The key to get out of debt is within you. It doesn’t matter what you do if you’re not doing what you love.
