You Don’t Have to Quit Your Job to Become a Millionnaire

You can attain financial freedom without having to quit your job. For most people, attaining financial freedom and quitting their jobs go hand in hand. This is because financial freedom gives you the freedom to choose, and for most employees if they really have the freedom to choose, they will choose to walk away from their jobs because they don’t like their jobs in the first instance.

They are in it for money, not for love. They tolerate a lot of things because they have no options. Many put on a smile on the outside whereas, on the inside, they feel like giving their boss a dirty slap. They put up with so many things, including crazy working hours because they do not have the freedom to choose.

if you love what you are doing, you do not have to quit in order to become a millionaire. A lot of folks in love with teaching have abandoned academia, pulled away from their first love by the lure of high pay in the oil and gas industry, telecoms, and other sectors. You do not have to be poor to be a teacher or lecturer, or whatever it is you love doing. Rather than go into captivity in pursuit of bigger pay, you can invest in your personal development, and financial education and end up making more money part-time in a month than you make in a whole year from your salary.

I know lecturers who teach for the love of teaching and even use their money to buy some equipment after waiting forever for the academic bureaucracy to come through. A group of Professors at the University of South Africa are each richer than their faculty. They own a consulting firm with a patent on gas-to-liquid technology. They consult for multinational oil companies and governments while still remaining on their faculty. They are teaching for love, and the desire to impart the next generation with their knowledge.

You do not have to quit your job to become a millionaire. You can invest in your personal development and financial education right where you are and begin to do something meaningful in your spare time. What you think is possible right now is based on your current mindset. Your current mindset is what brought you to where you are right now. To break the ceiling, you need a whole new mindset. Most of the people I come across believe they can’t. The sad thing is that they are right. If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you can’t, you can’t.

Either way, you are right. Our mindsets create our reality. Poverty is not the state of your finances, but your mindset. It is your mindset that directs your thoughts, which become action and eventually your reality. To break the vicious cycle, you have to change your mindset. That is why the crucial first step is investing in your personal development. When you upgrade on the inside, outside manifestation is only a matter of time.

If you are in the wrong job, then you have to find your way to where you truly belong. If you have no business working for someone in the first instance, or you decided to work for a few years which has turned into a few decades, then you have to begin to plot your escape from jail. Whatever your situation right now, you have the responsibility to develop into who you want to become based on where you want to go. By the time you climb the mountain top on the inside and see your promised land, getting there, in reality, is only a matter of time.

Stop giving excuses and go to work on your mindset. When you get your mindset fixed, you will begin to see opportunities right under your nose that have been passing you by all this while. When you acquire the capability to see, then seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. At the end of the day, you have no excuses and no one to blame but you.
