Don't forget to budget for joy! Hi, I'm Laura Rotter from True Abundance Advisors, and I am watching people in a frenzy trying to buy a home. And they're watching mortgage rates go up and they know that they've been looking for over a year and they finally get an accepted bid on a home and they're in a frenzy to get a mortgage locked in. And if this sounds like you, please: don't forget to budget for joy!
Hello, I'm Laura Rotter from True Abundance Advisors. A note from 2014 fell out of a book onto my lap recently. Here is the note: it reads, "table, 32 inches wide, 52 inches long; couch, 35 inches wide, 80 inches long. Now, you may wondering, "why is she sharing this information with me?" Well, listen up and you'll understand. It's the beginning of Spring. It's a period of time where I suggest you ask yourself: what is it that you're seeding? what would you like to grow over the next couple of months? And, in order to grow, what are you willing to give up?
I'm talking to you today during a period of heightened anxiety. Of course, with the recognition that you know I could have said this over the last two years. But we're now living through a large geopolitical event. Russia has invaded Ukraine And we're also seeing the repercussions domestically. Gas prices are the highest they've been in years. Commodity prices are soaring. There's a lot of uncertainty and because of this there's a lot of volatility in the stock market. So I want to talk to you about some behaviors I see in people during periods of heightened volatility.
Hi this is Laura Rotter from True Abundance Advisors I was meeting with a client yesterday and she was sharing how anxious she is from all the headlines in the news. Inflation is rising, Russia's going to invade the Ukraine, the market is down, the market's up. She was feeling so agitated that she was having trouble sleeping at night, and so she asked me for some advice. and I'd like to share the advice I gave her with you.
Hello, I'm Laura Rotter of True Abundance Advisors. It's January, the traditional time for setting resolutions and expectations for what will take place place over the coming year. But if there's anything we've learned over the last two years, it's that, yes, go ahead, make your resolution, set your goals. But life often has other plans for us. And interestingly, by setting these lofty goals and resolutions, we often don't recognize what's actually taking place in our lives. The good that is already there.
Hi, I'm Laura Rotter of True Abundance Advisors. Now, It's traditional at this time of year to set goals for the coming year. I, frankly, am not a big believer in goal setting. Goals, by and large, tend to be very externally driven. What do I want to achieve? What do I want to get in 2022?And often, without even realizing it, we're allowing others values and others goals, if you will, to inform our own. So I'd like to help you set an intention as you enter this new year. Intentions, I find, are much more internally driven. What is the behavior? What are the behaviors you'd like to exhibit in 2022?
