Before you can achieve anything, you have to find some sort of motivation. And debt management is no different. Debt management takes a lot of hard work and self discipline, and without some strong motivation to get your debts under control the temptation to return to your old ways will always prevail.

You have to have a bigger aim that drives you to keep making the necessary debt management sacrifices.

So what motivates you? Why do you want to get out of debt? What's the big reason that drives you?

  • Is it the desire to be free of debt?

  • Is it because you detest adding to your lender's profits?

  • Do you want to move to a bigger house that you actually own?

  • Or do you want to build your financial freedom then quit your job?

What drives your attempts at debt management?

And once you've decided, start to build up a picture of what your debt management attempt will mean to your life.

If you want to clear your debts, just imagine how you will feel when you make the last repayment and you no longer owe anyone anything. Feel the freedom. And what will you do with the part of your income that is no longer needed to make monthly debt repayments.

And whenever you feel the urge to ease up on your debt management efforts, remind yourself what you're aiming for. Immerse yourself in the benefits of achieving your goal.

So if you want to get out of debt and become financially secure, imagine your financial statements without a negative figure. Imagine your mortgage contract being torn up. Imagine your bank statements showing a positive balance. 10000, 100000, 1000000?

And if your reason for debt management is to own your dream house, imagine what the house will look like. What rooms will it have? Where will it be located? How will it be furnished? What will it be like to live in?

Use these mental images to fire yourself up whenever your debt management efforts start to drag.

You can even use these mental images to speed up your progress. Use the motivation boost that they provide to supercharge your debt management efforts. What can you do to make your debts disappear more quickly? What can you sell? How can you earn more? What else can you cut from your budget?
