As you start this new year, let me ask you a personal
question: How satisfied are you with your financial
situation?
Though it doesn't seem like a question for a podcast on leadership
and project management, here's what I've found: there are seemingly
endless resources available on the internet to learn more about
managing your finances. Yet I find that many of my coaching
clients--once I get to know them well enough--confess that
financial stress is something they deal with, particularly in this
economy.
Since work/life balance is an important objective for all
who desire to lead people and projects, I wanted to invest a cast
on the topic of our personal finances. The start of a year
is often a great time to reboot old habits to start fresh with new
ones.
When it comes to financial advice I turn to my friend,
author, and personal finance expert Matt Bell. I had the
opportunity to talk with Matt recently and look forward to sharing
the interview with you in this cast.
To learn more about Matt, check out his website at http://www.mattaboutmoney.com/. Also, don't miss the
sites Matt mentions in this cast, including Mint.com, Fidelity's MyPlan
Snapshot , Ask.com/deals, and ebates.com.
Hey, quick question: How are YOU doing on your new year's
resolutions? We're far enough into the new year that, at
least statistically, many of them will have fallen off the radar
screen. But they don't have to.
If you haven't yet heard my
interview with Jordan Goldberg, CEO of StickK.com, make sure to check it out.
Jordan's site has helped me reach my new year's weight loss goal in
far less time than I planned. You might just find a way to use
their site to achieve some financial related goals this year as
well!
Please join me in our next podcast when I interview Keith Ferrazzi,
author of the bestseller
Never Eat Alone and his new book
Who's Got Your Back. Relationships are a key ingredient to your
success at work, with projects, and in life, and Keith is the
foremost authority on the topic.
