Steps to Financial Freedom, the road map to financial freedom, achieve financial freedom…
Financial freedom seems to be the current buzzword in the world of self-improvement. This has spawned a new industry, and alongside it, some curious schemes and fantastic claims of how to achieve financial freedom in months.
Financial freedom means different things to different people. For some, it means freedom to spend, as they want without going to see red. To others, freedom to do whatever it is they really want to do without finances having to dictate what, how, and when. Financial freedom encompasses both, and more…
I have found that enduring financial freedom only comes through by discovering your talent and developing to a mastery level, backed by sound business skills. At this level, you skill commands resources effortlessly if you know how to market yourself or get an agent to market you.
You’ll have no need to depend on questionable schemes to make you rich in months but can get to the top and remain there if you do not go to sleep. When you are doing something you love, you can go the distance, making money while having fun.
Knowing your talents
You will go about chasing money, jumping from one scheme to another, pursuing a mirage if you do not have a clue what your core talent is. Even in the event that you finally land something that makes you money, you will not last. For instance, if you are not salesperson material, and you join a network marketing organization, you are useless to the network and to yourself. Some promise, “no selling/recruiting required”. I wonder if the money will drop from the sky.
Trying to make money online or offline is a waste of time, energy, and resources if you do not know who you are or your core competencies. You may manage some here and there, but frustration will soon set in. If you are a fish, water is the best place to be, and if you are a bird, take to the sky. Do what you love.
You have to look beyond money. If you are a slave to money, you may never attain financial freedom. For most folks, their life decisions are based on money. If you are offered three jobs on the same day, chances are, you will go for the one with the most generous offer. You may never stop to ponder where you are headed as a guide to what steps you take, and what choices you make.
Charting your path to financial freedom
If you are chasing the money, you will lose your way. Money will lead you to a highway to nowhere. You lose your focus completely. This is why it is critical to have clear goals and focus in your head, heart, and on paper. If your goals clearly spelled out, you will be able to withstand the temptation to derail. You will be able to keep your eyes on where you are headed.
If you know where you are heading you will not jump at any offer that pops in front of your computer screen. You will judge every step you take and every move you make in the light of which direction you are headed. Your progress may seem slow, but you are moving surely and steadily toward your destination.
It is hard navigating your way to financial freedom with the plethora of claims and offers on the net. You have to remain true to yourself, to your core values and inner character. Don’t be swayed by every whim and caprices. Chart your own path and follow it through.
There is no one way to financial freedom. You have to chart your individual path. We are all unique, with a unique set of talents and temperament. There is no one on this planet like you. You alone know what you are about. You are the only one who can find your way home. Sure you need the help of others, but the buck stops right at your desk.
If you are willing to discover your talents and take them to the sky, then you are ready to fly. Be the best that you can be. Just do it.
Bon voyage.
