Manage Your Money God’s Way - 7 Steps to Help You Keep Your Resolutions

The failure rate for keeping new year resolutions is 80%.  What seems like a good idea at the time can turn into drudgery if you don’t have a solid plan in place for how to actually keep the resolutions you make—whether you make them at the beginning of the year or the middle of July.

Here are 7 Steps to help you keep those resolutions:

1. Make one or two resolutions, not more
2. Define the reason you want to make the change
3. Make sure your resolution is achievable
4. Make your resolution part of a long term goal
5. Make the resolution very specific
6. Automate as much as you can
7. Check you progress regularly
