So You Want To Achieve Financial Freedom?
You know what I hate the most? When you go to the grocery store and you’re comparing product prices and not sure if you’ll have enough to cover it when you get to the counter. You need your lettuce, and cucumber for the salad, and the 1 pound of hamburger for your last supper, so to speak. You haven’t entered the champion ring of mental financial judo: “judon’t know if you ju have enough in your bank account.” That certainly is not the definition for financial freedom, or maybe it is if you like financial judo!
Speaking about financial freedom… well, it has different definitions, and if I have to read another financial freedom report, I swear! And don’t get me started on those pointless discussions about women and financial freedom! So here’s my 40 cents to financial freedom guide:
What is financial freedom anyway?
- Enough money to do what you want, how you want, when you want, and with whomever you want!
- The freedom to take off on a vacation whenever you want and not having to worry about a boss.
- The ability to set your own hours in business, and have your business running despite your presence.
- Not having to worry about if there is enough in the checking account when you go to pay a bill.
Unfortunately, achieving financial freedom is not a reality for most out there. 95% of people who set out in business never achieve financial freedom, and actually fail because they began without a system, and without a good financial freedom mentor and coach to guide them through the process.
Let’s talk about what financial freedom is NOT:
- Don’t you hate when you’re starting your own business to order to achieve financial freedom but you are the only employee and you must work outrageous hours to keep afloat
- And we all know that financial freedom is not having you income directly related to the number of hours that you put into the business and when you aren’t working, you aren’t earning
So apparently, achieving financial freedom has nothing to do with starting your own business aka….J.O.B (Just Over Broke).! Building Financial Freedom is more than owning your own business. For those of you who have been in the financial “judon’t know ring”, you know that having a financial freedom plan is essential to your existence. You might as well jump off a bridge now to save yourself the trouble if you don’t have a financial freedom plan! Unfortunately, financial freedom is a fantasy for many. It is much like a an episode of one of my classic favorite shows Fantasy Island. You think you’re on the island but “ju just don’t know” if you’re on the island. “Where is da plane?”
Financial freedom is about having a financial freedom plan that you are committed to following through with. It is also about having financial freedom resources that will allow you to leverage yourself, your time, and your business. Financial freedom resources include the best mentorship. Just because somebody else is financially free (those people with the paychecks on the screen or the shirtless Bermuda shorts wearing, having the audacity and cahones to wield a Mac while lying in a hammock) does not mean that they can lead you to financial freedom. Cough, cough Ty Coughlin! An ethical mentor will guide you to the best fit business opportunity for you, your needs, your goals, and aspirations. One of the best financial freedom resources is an ethical mentor who will point you to safe strategies for financial freedom.
Entrepreneurs know how to build large organizations of self motivated individuals who are motivated to achieve their own financial freedom. Come on now, do you want to be a cheerleader as your career? They are not babysitters, but business builders that attract other business builders to themselves simply by the way that they conduct their business.
Having a business is great . One of the best methods is to have a business that allows you to create financial freedom online. One of my good friends J Bill Gates says “there are 2 kinds of businesses, those that are online and those that are out of business.”
What kind of business do you have?
