Imagine yourself running a marathon, but with a shoelace untied. You are charging forward, heart pounding with ambition, eyes fixed on the finish line of your dreams, but every few steps, you have to slow down, stumble, or pause to fix that loose lace.
That is exactly how money (or lack of it) works in our lives. We all have dreams, big or small: Buying a house, growing a business, retiring early, or travelling the world. You can have your dreams all figured out, sprinting ahead with boldness and clarity, but here is a question: Is your money keeping pace, or is it dragging behind, unprepared for the journey?
At Credlanche, we believe prosperity is not just about having money. It is about making sure your finances are aligned with your goals and moving forward at the right speed. If you think checking the pace of your prosperity is irrelevant, here is why you should think otherwise.
Why Your Financial Pulse Matters
If you are running a marathon and your shoe lace is untied, or your legs are tied, either to yourself or to someone else, you might still move, but never fast enough to reach the finish line (your goals) on time. Yes, this is what happens when your investments are out of sync with your dreams. You will find that you are probably:
- Saving too slowly for urgent goals
- Investing in low-return ventures that might be stunting or stalling your growth
- Spending on things that do not build your future
We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you are doing any of this, your money is probably not working hard or smart enough, and if that is the case, your dreams might remain just that. Dreams.
Warning Signs Your Finances Are Falling Behind
Most things do not happen without giving signs; there are always red flags that we sometimes choose to ignore. Here are some examples of warning signs that your finances may be falling behind.
- You are always adjusting your goals downwards: Adjusting your goals to better suit your current situation is not always a bad thing, but when it becomes the usual thing to adjust them downwards, constantly lowering your "standards", it is a bad signal that you are lagging.
- Your investments yield little to no growth: We understand that investments take time, but what is the verdict after your investments have taken a considerable amount of time and have shown no growth? It is simply a warning sign that your dreams and goals are far ahead of your money, and that is not the balance we need.
- You are constantly borrowing for essentials: If you cannot afford the basic things for your day-to-day living, how can you put money into investments and leave it to grow peacefully? Sure, sometimes the need to borrow arises, but it should be to fuel growth and growth-focused needs. If all you borrow for is to keep up with life necessities, then there is a wide gap between your money and your dreams.
- You feel stuck: Life can get overwhelming and draining, up to the point where you just feel like you have had enough. When your financial situation starts to feel that way and you cannot see a clear way forward out of that rut, you need to realign and strategise; it seems like you are already knee-deep in a lag phase.
