Progress:  285 people helped... only 732 to go!

I have a BIG goal this year:

Help 1017 people build budgets in 2010!

Why? Simple: The more people who get their own business and personal finances under control, the stronger this country will become.

I firmly believe that if each of us has a better grip on our finances, we'll be less likely to just sit by and let others mandate what we can and cannot do with our own hard earned money.

I believe we, as a collective of individuals, can and should be more powerful than any banking institution, insurance company, pharmaceutical company, other major lobbying group, or government, that is more interested in short term results and personal gain than in doing what's right and what's good for our country.

So, what can one person do?  Well, I intend to start by helping 1017 other people get their budgets in order.  Then, I can encourage each of them reach out to other people they know to get their budgets in order.  Pretty soon, we could have a country of far more financially savvy individuals who will say "NO" when something does not make sense and who will say "YES" when it does.

Now, as I'm sure you can imagine, I could do so much more with just a little help. So, here's what I'm asking: If you or someone you know needs to build a budget, please contact me. Obviously, I offer my own programs, like Budget Bootcamp™ that can help you build a budget. But, I can also offer guidance, support and accountability if you are building your budget on your own.

I'm serious about achieving this goal, so please help me Help 1017 People Build Budgets in 2010!
