Consistency
While it is popular to have new year resolutions right now( most are forgotten by now), I have learned to pick a word of the year.
My 2021 word is Consistency.
This year I want to commit to lifelong skills and routines and be consistent with a routine that will last me till I am old and grey. Consistency builds wealth. Wealth in money, relationships, and knowledge. I want consistency this year.
This year will be the year that will change my life and my family’s life for generations. I am building skill sets and devoting my time to things that can buy freedom.
In 2020, I set out to start my bachelor’s degree with the intention of learning to code and build that skill set. I have my GI Bill just sitting there. After 6 months of college, I had had enough of college learning.
Approaching 2021, I took my Step Dad’s nudge toward trading seriously. I have been investing since 2016 and knew I wanted to use those investments as capital eventually. Freedom Capital. I sold majority of my stocks in Robinhood and cashed out Acorns. 4 years of investing heavily paid off.
When 2020 was coming to an end, I finished the college semester and set out to learn how to swing trade/day trade for the future. I also wanted more time to write/podcast and exercise. While I work full time, I also have a wife and two kids. My kiddos are 4 and 2 years old. School was taking too much time from them and passions.
Since the start of 2021, I have been consistent with my trading studies and spending more time with my family. Now I am gearing up for more time for blogging/podcasting.
Here is my consistent list:
Intentional time with family
Morning Routine
Exercise
Trading
Writing/Podcasting
What is your word of the year and what are you trying to be more consistent with?
