Other readers may also agree the post is lacking in “solutions.” Let me know if I don’t cover your points.<BR/><BR/>First of all, I purposely didn’t give all the answers in this single post:-) I needed to save content for the future since this blog wouldn’t be sustainable if I provided all the answers at once:-)<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, the italicized statements are “next steps” and not “solutions.” In my own experience, sometimes the actions being taken cannot or will not solve the issue In these cases, acknowledging that I need to do something different is the first step towards success. Once a person acknowledges that a change in action is needed, one can focus on how to do it – i.e. specific solutions that fit one’s situation. <BR/><BR/>At the risk of oversimplifying, I’ll create a hypothetical case with your clients. In the example, $250/month is sufficient, but not sustainable (in their opinion). Assuming they agree they need to find a way to pay $250/month (and perhaps, they haven’t agreed), their next step is to explore, “How might they make $250 sustainable?” For their specific situation, there will likely be many options from which they can develop a new plan that is sustainable. <BR/><BR/>The Rules of Success provide a framework for people to clarify whether they are doing the right things versus just doing things. People will still have to do the work themselves to develop a good plan that solves their specific problem.<BR/><BR/>Your comment has energized me to create some case studies for future posts that show example possible actions for each rule. (More sustainability for My Wealth Builder:-)<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps clarify the post. Let me know if I didn’t answer your concerns.Super Saverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172939501208456194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32639162.post-1164233018870113652006-11-22T17:03:00.000-05:002006-11-22T17:03:00.000-05:00I like these rules, except that the "solutions" ar...I like these rules, except that the "solutions" are a little flimsy. "If your plan is not sustainable, revise it so that it is." Whuh? Me no get it. I mean, I know what you're talking about, but I see clients who have an extra $500 per month but who think that they won't be able to afford a $250/month repay because that's just too much. Course, they also lack will, which is why they had to borrow in the first place.Dimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457367927172471144noreply@blogger.com
