A house divided against itself cannot stand. The same is true when an individual sets a goal that is not supported by the family. Changing your food program on your own? Good luck. Setting a goal to exercise and the rest of the family chooses the couch? The odds of success are already stacked against you. Want to reduce your debt and you live with free spenders? Send in the clowns. Major goals need family support. Without team effort, your goals are on life support.
Sit down with your family and share why your goals are important. Get agreement that you will not be alone in your quest. I'm fortunate my wife supports me 100% in our 36 month challenge to rid ourselves of our mortgage. I'm taking a page out of Dave Ramsey's book – we choose to live like no one else so we can live like no one else. Step one is agreement we're in this together and we need to be strong in times of temptation. I will keep you posted along the way. Have a great day.
