Lessons from Hockey
By admin | September 25, 2008
Once again hockey season is in full swing with our first game last night. Let me just express to the world that I am HURTING.
At some point last year I had a thought to myself, “I could play hockey all night and still not be tired.” I was “in hockey shape.” After games my feet would NOT hurt, my back would NOT hurt, my legs would NOT hurt. It felt amazing to get off the ice and still feel great.
Not so much the case anymore. Let me explain why this change occured. I did nothing related to hockey for the past 3 months. I did not get on ice; I did not pick up a stick; I did not ever work on my health. Essentially it would be safe to say that while I was on track and loving it last season, it was that easy for me to get off track.
Yes that is correct, the same is true with the way we handle our MONEY. You can be in control of your money one month, then realize a couple months later…it is OUT OF CONTROL.
The guy who puts in a lot of effort all at once then does not have a sustainable system will surely falter (it is just a matter of when). If I were to work really hard at hockey for 1 week and then do nothing after that, would I be back into hockey shape? Absolutely not.
The same is true in money. If you are in a financial mess chances are you didn’t get there over night therefore you won’t be out of it overnight.
Creating a sustainable system of improvements is incredibly important.
I am confident that I will be back in hockey shape soon, and I am just as confident that you can “win” at the money thing as well.
