Consistency equals accuracy

Consistency equals accuracy

Back when I use to do competitive shooting there was a saying “consistency equals accuracy and accuracy equals consistency.” If I am consistent in my shooting I will be accurate, if I am going to be accurate I need to be consistent, its not rocket science but it is something we overlook when we manage our money and also in other areas of our life. It is not mathematical genius in our finances but it is behavior. If I consistently save, budget, and have a plan in my financial life, I will achieve my goals in life, and hit the target. Hey, I had to shoot a lot of bullets to hit the bullseye that was the diameter of the pencil lead. If I go week to week, month to month without having a plan and telling my money what to do before I get it, I will be consistently missing my target. Most people get in bad financial situations by not paying attention to what they are doing. We go day by day living off of emotion instead of a well thought out plan.

Since we are just starting a new year why don’t we determine to be consistent so we can hit our goals we set for ourselves? I don’t like the word resolution because even if you resolve to do something you still don’t have a plan laid out. Example, “my resolution is to fid a job I enjoy this year!” How? When you have your plan, be consistent in executing it so you can hit your target. Don’t quit and don’t worry if you have to modify your plan. The biggest thing is to get a goal and be consistent with executing it. Keep shooting and getting closer to the bullseye and let me know when you hit the center. I love to hear when people win, it helps us all!
