Welcome back to the second session of our four-part series on achieving your money goals in 2024.

Today, we’re diving deep into STEP 2 – SET YOUR VISION

In this episode, we’ll explore three key actions to set your vision. Remember, setting a vision is not about complex, unapproachable tasks. It’s a natural process with which you are familiar. As we delve into the future, I’ll guide you through a process for each of your nine money moments – envisioning what you want to be true in the future.

Continue this journey to set your vision and gain a clearer destination of where you want to be reach in your faithful financial future. Together, let’s transform your financial vision into a reality!


In this episode, John discusses:

  • Reflecting on lessons and past money moments
  • Three key actions for clarity
  • The power of financial vision
  • Creating a financial vision for each money moment

Key Takeaways:

  • Quick recap of STEP 1 – SET YOUR LESSONS – before diving into your vision, a reminder that understanding your past financial choices and behaviors is essential, as it provides a foundation for a clear perspective on where you’ve been and how it can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
  • Drawing parallels to everyday experiences, like planning a vacation, demonstrates that vision-setting is a natural and accessible process that everyone engages in, sometimes without even realizing it!
  • Three actionable steps for setting your financial vision include considering each of the nine money moments individually (giving, saving, investing, spending, borrowing, taxes, counsel, planning, and prayer) by standing in the future, looking around, and describing what you want to be true in those areas.
  • Achieving your money goals in 2024 requires a focus on well-executed plans, as emphasized by the quote “If you plan the work, and work the plan, the plan will work,” and I encourage you to allocate the time for setting your vision with prayer, discussion, and commitment.

“Goal setting is easy. Goal achievement is tough. And when your vision is crystal clear in your heart and your mind, and you know exactly what your vision is and where you feel God wants you to go, you are in such a better posture for goal achievement.”
