The Price of Business Digital Network has a new series of outstanding commentaries from business thought leaders. This is one in that series.
* Make a decision to stop borrowing money!
This may sound obvious, but if you want to get out of debt fast, you have to stop using debt to pay for your lifestyle.
* Emergency fund.
So if something needs repaired or replaced, you have the money to do so.
* Create a budget!
A budget is telling your money what you want it to do instead of wondering where it went.
* Organize your debts
This is an absolute key to paying off your debt. List all of your debts from smallest to highest. This is the “wrecking ball” approach. Pay off the smallest debt first, and then apply that payment to the next debt in line. This will build momentum. Just like a wrecking ball hits a building, it may take a few blows, but that building is coming down!
