Feng Shui Your Financial House

Grow Your Wealth Faster Using this Simple Technique

You’ll Take More Action With a Body Double

Today’s Financial Feng Shui task:

Get a friend to “body double” with you while you do a financial chore.

There’s a reason Kindergarteners hold hands when on a field trip, SCUBA divers are assigned an underwater buddy, and why we say, “Misery loves company.”

Every obstacle, every crisis, and every challenge shrinks when you have a wing(wo)man by your side.

Think of the financial chore most aversive to you.

That thing you most procrastinate on, self-flagellate for putting off, and always slam against a deadline with your hair on fire to finish.

Maybe it’s doing your taxes. Or scrambling through piles of paper to find the receipts you need for your taxes. Or downloading reams of data into Excel hell.

Maybe it’s reviewing your investment accounts and being reminded that you should never listen to Uncle Fester’s stock tips. Maybe you’re afraid to discover just how much money “mysteriously” vaporized from your savings.
