[1:32] Taco talk and the importance of self-development

[3:40] Why you are who you surround yourself with

[5:50] The value of identifying your future-self 

[12:00] How your ideal client is a higher version of yourself

[17:50] How to identify your dream client

This week, Shane and Melissa chat over their taco board dinner about the connection between your ideal self and your ideal client. Self-development is key in not only finding yourself but also in finding your dream clientele. They also cover exactly how to identify your dream client, and action steps you can take to start with bettering your future self, first.    

Self-development not only requires consistency but also involves surrounding yourself with others who align with your goals. If you envision your future self, what do you see? Do your clients align with this vision? Mimic what you want your future self to be in the clientele that you are pursuing. You are what you surround yourself with, so surround yourself with what you hope your future to be. And always remember when you start out doing things, it doesn’t have to be pretty! Sometimes you have to just start and work through the “ugly” to get to where you want to be. Never get too caught up in the end goal to forget to even start.

A money date is a monthly meeting with whomever you share finances with (even yourself!) to look at where you are at in the areas discussed.

The goal is to make this fun! Go to your favorite restaurant or coffee shop, our biggest piece of advice is to approach these without emotions but with the data. 

Areas to evaluate:

• Loans balances
• credit cards
• bank accounts
• cash
• investments
• Income
  • savings, giving and investing from the prior month 

Overall net worth (assets-liabilities = net worth)

Last week we talked all about defining clear expectations, join us this week to hear all about maintaining those expectations.

Two questions we suggest asking to identify if we are on track with expectations:
1. Are there any areas of unmet expectations?
2. Do you have any new expectations of me that I may not be aware of?
