According to richdad.com, there are three types of doing necessary to reach a goal. They call it the Triple-A Triangle™, and it involves three stages.
The Triple-A Triangle™
- Aspire.
This is the dream, the very clear vision of what you want. And it's much more than saying, "I want to be a millionaire."It's what you will have once you reach your goal such as, "I will have the freedom to pursue my love of travel," "I will be able to contribute more to my favorite charity," "I will be able to spend valuable time with my children," etc. - Acquire.
This is the education part of do, where you gather the information you need to take action. What do you need to study to reach your financial goals, and how are you going to get that information? Whether it's reading a book, watching a finance video or television program, listening to an investment radio-show, or conducting some research online, set aside some time each day to increase your financial education and learn about money. - Apply.
This is the stage where most people stop due to fear. But in order to reach goals and be successful, it is necessary to apply the knowledge you acquire and take action.
It's Rising Time!
The stages of the Triple-A Triangle are in constant motion. It's a lifelong journey of aspiring to do more, acquiring more information and applying more of what you've learned. And there is no better time to start than now.
After all, how many times have you or others said things like:
- "I'll start my diet tomorrow."
- "I'll stop smoking on Monday."
- "I'll stick to a new budget after the holidays."
Well, instead of waiting for midnight to strike on December 31st, why not begin working on your goals right now?
