Do you sometimes feel trapped in the Rat Race and wished you could retire quickly but wealthy?
Do you ever feel that you are spending way too much time working with your boss at your office instead of with those you love? Your spouse, children, friends and family?
Do you sometimes feel frustrated because you are so deep in debt that you think you won't be able to retire because as soon as you do, the money will stop coming and you won't be able to pay off your mortgages, credit card and bills?
Do you ever feel that you have no control over your life at all in terms of time? Think about this: can you take a vacation just anytime whenever you want or need it and as long as you want or need it?
Do you ever wish that you can work whenever you want and wherever you want?
GUESS WHAT? You are not the only one! you are definitely not alone
Many of us are trapped in a Rat Race because they have to. There are too many bills to pay, and too many dreams to fulfill. To some it seems that there is just no way to quit their job and enjoy life, travel and see the world with their loved ones.
Most people work because their bills tell them to, not because they really love to do it. Most people enslave themselves to their debt or job, because (they think) they have no choice.
This is when the craving for achieving financial freedom comes in
Freedom to choose when to work, without worries about income cuts. Freedom to spend more time with your loved ones, without worries about your employment or your boss. Freedom to take a vacation, without worries about layoffs thereafter. Freedom to do what you like, instead of what you've got to do, without worries about whether or not what you like generates enough income for you.
If you are seriously craving for financial freedom, finding a better job with a higher paycheck is not going to work. Higher paychecks usually mean a more expensive lifestyle, more needs = more bills, higher mortgages you THINK you can afford, more responsibilities plus more working hours and more time to spend at the office instead with the ones you love most. And there is always the same problem: as soon as you stop, the money stops.
Take some time and understand and also see that financial freedom is not measured by how much money you make by working, but by how long your money can support your normal lifestyle when you stop working.
And financial freedom is definitely not about accumulating abundant riches. It is about that golden chance to live abundantly!
Just take a second and Imagine! With financial freedom, you will have more quality time to spend with your family and friends. You will have more control over your life to do whatever you want, whatever you love, whatever you're passionate about. You will be able to give more, help others, make your part of the world a better place to live! You will be able to spend as much or as little time with your business as you choose. You will be able to come and go at will.
What a great chance to live abundantly!
Is craving for financial freedom realistic? Yes it is. It is not impossible to achieve it. Ordinary people have achieved financial freedom. They may not have their own luxurious yacht, but they have the time and the money to take their family on an expensive cruise to the most expensive spot on earth.
There are basically only two fundamental things ordinary people have known for decades to achieving financial freedom:
1. Manage your time and money! Time and money are the only two factors that keep people from achieving financial freedom.
To duplicate the success of people who have reached financial freedom, you do not need to have self-confidence, super intelligence, high education, great luck, hard-work or great career path. Although those are all good characteristics, they are not fundamental to achieve financial freedom.
All you need is a good time and money management, which would also result in high productivity!
Invest your time in creating extra money that you can later invest. You can do that by taking up a part-time job or working overtime.
As soon as you have more extra income, be a responsible manager of your own money! Live less than your income so you can start investing. It is from investing in a business that will one day generate income for you and sets you financially free from having to work for a living.
As much as possible avoid borrowing money for anything at all. I believe everybody has been taught about the negatives of being in a debt, but very few have been taught to consider the benefits of being debt-free.
By being debt-free, you will have more money to invest. Ask yourself this question: how difficult would it be to create an extra $1,000 a month by cutting expenses and by investing the money you normally use to pay your debt?
2. Start investing in your own business to create passive income! Passive income is income which requires little or no work at all. The example would be writing a book and get paid forever on it, traditionally investing huge capital or starting your own business.
Create businesses that will generate money and make a profit. THINK outside the box
As a passionate business owner myself, I believe that having your own business and doing what you love while working hard will pay off and lead you to financial freedom! Why not join me on a journey to attaining Financial freedom and living a great lifestyle!
