Are you prepared to reach your financial goals? When you got started in your career you probably didn't think about starting a home based business. You probably followed the same plan all your teachers and your parents drilled into your head. Here is what I remember as the plan:
- Go to school and work hard.
- Develop good habits.
- Get a job in the real world.
- Keep improving in your job and through your hard work, hopefully your boss will give you a raise.
- If you are talented and play the political games correctly you will keep moving up the corporate ladder and other people will determine your value to the company and decide what you are worth to the company.
- As you move up the corporate ladder you will be given more money and responsibility and you will have less and less time for the things that are truly important. i.e. Your family and your health.
- You will do this for your whole adult life, and through proper investing, you will hopefully retire at 65 and be able to live out your final 20+ years. Hopefully you have not missed too many little league games and dance recitals that you are kids had along the way.
Obviously the above plan works really well for corporate executives. From a financial perspective these folks do much better than most. However, most of those captains of industry trade off financial success for their health and family life. In addition, unless you are in a particular career where you have direct control of your earnings, you really have to rely that other people will recognize your value to the company and give you a raise. Moving up the ladder comes with a price. Usually your time with your family suffers and if you are not careful, you will be spending more time at the office than at home.
So the question is how can we all achieve financial success and independence without the tradeoff of spending less time with our family? Is there a way to do this without having to rely on other people to recognize your value, without having to worry about whether your company will have a lay off, or if your corporate executives are perpetuating an accounting fraud and your retirement savings evaporates in the blink of an eye?
The answer is, yes. There is absolutely a way. Ways that I would say 99% of people are capable of achieving. But first you have to decide. You have to really decide and get determined that you are ready to take control of your life and your financial independence. Having a belief in yourself and committing to success is necessary. Once you make the commitment that you and you alone CAN create financial independence for yourself you will achieve it.
Isaac Newton talked about the law of motion and that things that that are in motion tend to stay in motion and things at rest tend to stay at rest. This law of motion also applies to human behavior. Once you have become tired of having others dictate your worth, and made the commitment to do something about it (an object in motion) then you need to take action immediately. If you wait, you become an object at rest and you tend to stay at rest and nothing changes. Procrastination and fear will cripple you. Take action.
