$12k and Property Ownership?! Goals Check-in!

Call me the goal assassin because I attack every goal I create with passion and purpose. I firmly believe that we are the only ones standing in the way of greatness. I firmly believe that we can manifest our dreams with positive self-talk, hard work and a plan. I'm not making anymore excuses. My thoughts control my actions, periodt!

At the end of February, I made 3 goals to hit by by June 2021:

1. Save $12k by June 2021
  • Get rid of an expense (no hair products + related expenses for 3 months)
  • Online shopping only once a month
  • Outside food only twice a month
2. Gain 10lbs by June 2021
  • Get a trainer
  • Aim for 1980-2000 calories per day
  • 3 weight-lifting workouts per week
3. Read 3 books by June 2021
  • Read when I wake up and/or before bed
  • Take a book with me when I leave the house
  • Read a few pages after work
I'm proud to say I hit my $12k goal last night, almost 2 months early!!! I don't play about my goals, my money or my potential. I might be slacking a bit with my "read 3 books" goal but I'm working on it. Your girl has been busy!! Another goal I had from earlier this year was to be involved in 2 investment property projects in 2021 and a few weeks ago, I hit that goal.

As summer approaches, I encourage you to get into the habit of setting goals so you're able to stay consistent when the good weather, events and friends tempt your wallet. Start small: Uber once a month, outside 3 times per month, no online shopping for a month. Your goals don't even have to be finance related: eat breakfast 7 days a week, workout 3 days per week, take a walk 5 days a week. The sooner you discipline yourself, the sooner you see results!


All love, always, Shay.💛

What Apps Do I Use To Stay Organized?

I have a lot on my plate and in order to be productive, I have to stay organized. Right now, I'm working on building my Financially Attractive platform, while working full-time, chasing my fitness goals and still trying to enjoy life. Here are some apps that keep me on track every day. iPhone Calendar: if it's not in my calendar, I'll forget.😖 Google Calendar: content creation tasks go in this calendar. Alarm: I am that girl with 30 alarms each day. It combats my procrastination. TD app: I check this multiple times per week. I catch every charge and transaction.👀 Capital One: I check this multiple times per week as well. I stay on top of my credit card. My Fitness Pal: this is helping me be intentional with eating since I want to gain 10-15lbs by the end of the year. Instagram: you'll notice that I'll be using this less but I use it to connect with people, consume financial literacy, promote local businesses, spread love etc. All love, always, Shay.💛 Instagram: @...

SMART Goals Update!

A lot can happen in 1 year, 6 months, even 1 month! To recap, earlier this year, I made a SMART goal to save 10k for an emergency fund by December 2020. I had just started my financial independence journey so I gave myself a lot of time; a whole year. I didn't want to set myself for failure. Fast forward to June 2020 when I hit my 10k goal, 6 months early!! Call it my birthday gift to myself. Proving that I could focus, completely change my spending habits and get shit done, I kept pushing, saving 15k by August and 20k by the end of September.  The thing is, we can achieve such greatness if we have a plan. We can say so many things but without a plan and a way to execute that plan, they're just words flapping in the wind. I will forever talk about SMART goals because they brought me from 0-10, 000 real quick. I encourage you to write down some of your goals, big or small, make them specific, and organize them into categories (financial, personal, fitness, travel etc). Focus on ...

February 2021 Pep Talk

2021 will be exactly like 2020 if you don't change.  This post was supposed to be posted in December 2020 but guess what? Better late than never! Which perfectly leads into my original inspiration... It's never too late to start but you'd better start now! Repetition builds habits and habits build your lifestyle. It's so important to start making moves as soon as possible and not when the calendar tells you to or when a friend tells you to because change takes time. It's okay that you didn't make New Year's resolutions. It's okay that January wasn't your month. But now what? We all know what happens when we procrastinate. We push things until tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. We suddenly feel like our goals aren't important. We make excuses as to why we shouldn't do it anymore. Then we'll forget about it altogether. Then a year will go by and we'll randomly remember and feel tons of guilt for letting a good idea/opportunity slip away...
