Scrambled Eggs and Finance - What do scrambled eggs and finance have in common?


You’ve got to be kidding? Come on, scrambled eggs has nothing to do with the subject of money unless you own one of those Eggs R Great franchises! I thought the same way until one morning while making toast, bacon, and scrambled eggs I saw the similarity. I had been strug-gling to break through a barrier of a limited amount of money each month. My income kept run-ning out before the month did.


For over six months I had cut out the impulsive spending. You know, picking up unnecessary items while standing in line at the grocery store. I still pick things up but now I hold them at arms length and ask if I really need them. Then I’ll put it back on the shelf and stick to the list of items I really needed. That one habit started giving me more money to meet my budget than I ever thought possible. Buying little things sure added up to a big expense.


I love my coffee in the morning and sure enjoy stopping by a Starbucks. But for one month I kept a record of how many times I bought a cup of java and was shocked. I sure enjoy the Star-buck’s experience but realized that if I enjoyed it just once a week I could save a lot of money. It meant getting up a little earlier to make a cup or setting the automatic coffee maker (one I al-ready had but didn’t use) just before going to bed. Now I think of how much I save every time the alarm goes off fifteen minutes earlier each morning.


But what does all that have to with scrabbled eggs? I still needed a break through with my fi-nance and when I broke the shell of the eggs I suddenly realized it. I was outside the egg and it took an outside influence to break the shell. I then realized that it took an outside source to get me to break the habit of impulsive spending and to track my every expenditure for a month. I have always heard that greatness is within a person but nobody talks abut the outside influ-ences that brings out greatness. If I am going to get the break through I want in finance it will come from an outside source.


After I understood how scrabbled eggs and finance go together I found a strategy, a coach, and a source of income that gave me that breakthrough. I’d love to share my journey and reveal just how I do it. Just visit my website at www.incredibletransformation.com and fill out the information form so we can connect.
