"Don't Get Cooked in the Squat!"

Motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar, tells a childhood story about Maude’s biscuits. Maude was the family cook and Maude’s biscuits were legendary. One meal, some of her biscuits were flatter than pancakes. They had failed to rise. When young Zig asked Maude what happened, she responded:

"In order to rise, the biscuits had to squat... The flat ones got cooked in the squat!"

Zig tells this story to discourage procrastination and encourage action.
Waiting for exactly the right conditions before embarking on a life-changing plan often results in life changing your plans.

I’m reminded of this whenever I receive emails from clients who were "planning" to start on their path to Debt-Freedom "just-as-soon-as…" but then, "fill-in-the-blank…" happened.

And now they’re looking for alternatives.

If you’re squatting to rise --waiting for more income, your kids to get out of or into school, your spouse to get with the plan -- before beginning your Journey to Debt-Freedom... stop! Five to seven years, the time it will take you to reach Debt-Freedom, is both a long and short time. It’s a long time when it’s ahead of you, and a short time when it’s in your rear view mirror.

Such is the nature of goals...

I’ve heard it time and again from my clients who’ve crossed the Debt-Freedom finish line...

"I can't believe how fast it was…"

And from those who’ve failed to start…

"I lost my job, my wife left me, and my dog died..."

2007 is here! A new opportunity to change your life. Maybe you've spent 2006coming to grips with the fact that conventional financial strategies for successful wealth building are fraught with inconsistencies...

How can you build wealth if half your income is consumed by debt?

You've studied various alternatives... read a few newsletters... did some trial calculations using your own debts...

You know what's possible and now you're ready to implement a solution. This is all the squatting required.

Rise!
