New Tools, New Decade: RightSIZING Your Life

My mantra this year (until I think up something else) is going to be this: New tools, new decade. I think times are so tough, that it requires a reengineering of how we think about money and what satisfies us. I call this RightSIZING and I’d like to invite you to participate in a grand experiment in which I work with a family on rightsizing their life based on a new financial reality.

I talked a little more about RightSIZING on the Clark Howard show today. I think most of the folks who live on Main Street (which is everyone who doesn’t live on Wall Street, or have that Wall Street state of mind), realize that times have changed. You may not be in financial trouble, but I’m guessing you know someone who is in trouble. And, the trouble can be mild or major – and folks really need help.

RightSIZING is about changing your mindset – mourning the loss of your old life, complete with maybe the house you had to leave and the lifestyle you no longer have – but learning to be happy and content with what you do have in life. It’s a new/old way of thinking and I want you to figure it out.

More on this later in the week, but if you’d like some help, please email me at ilyce@thinkglink.com.
