The first few months of the year, clients welcome a new year and new resolutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is especially true when it comes to finances and our taxes. It seems like everyone wants the same thing: to earn more and to keep more of what we earned. However, the skill isn\u2019t found in making tax resolutions for the new year; it\u2019s found in creating ways to fulfill your new-year tax resolutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help motivate your clients, here’s a list of four easy ways to help them stick to their tax resolutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Realistic Resolutions<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes, there is definitely a time and place for the epic speech of \u201cGet Out There and Dream Big,\u201d but what may be even more important for your clients is to stay grounded and set realistic resolutions for this tax year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Advize your clients to avoid the trap of trying to keep up with everyone around them, and instead create goals and resolutions for the new year that are specific to their situation and realistically attainable. They don\u2019t have to dream small, but just make sure their dreams are their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Savings Won\u2019t be Built in a Day<\/b><\/p>\n

Remind your clients that patience is key. It\u2019s easy to get discouraged when they don\u2019t see immediate results, or when their results aren\u2019t as earth shattering as they were expecting. For most of us, our financial goals and tax resolutions are going to take time to mature and succeed. Don\u2019t get in a rush. Stay positive and persevere.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if their tax resolutions include starting a Roth IRA, they need to understand that they won\u2019t complete their retirement savings in the first two months of the year. It will take a steady pace of contributions to grow their savings. And, that\u2019s perfectly OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Help Your Clients Create a Plan<\/b><\/p>\n

No matter what your client\u2019s goals are for this new year, success begins with a solid plan of action. Wishing for success won\u2019t fulfill your resolutions and your goals. Work with your clients to write them down, with a way to keep track of their victories and failures, and create a weekly, monthly or quarterly plan to help them continue their progress. Work backwards from the goal of their resolution to help them determine where they need to begin and what each step should look like.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Revisit and Repair<\/b><\/p>\n

Lastly, your clients can\u2019t simple set their resolutions on cruise control. These goals need care and attention. Revisit these goals and resolutions with your clients every few months or so \u2013 depending on what they are. Doing this will help your clients keep track of your resolutions and the steps needed for a successful outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helping your clients go back to evaluate their tax resolutions will also help you find any changes or repairs that you need to make. Financial lives are very fluid, and adjustments are almost always necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good luck this year!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
