How to Reach Financial Freedom (Work for Money vs. Money work for you)

Everyone knows that in order to reach Financial Freedom, one should make the money work for them. But yet, in real life, there are so many of us that actually work for money. We clock in 9 - 5 job or any other shift job, clocking time and work hard to earn the money. We are trapped in the cycle of routine just to earn that decent amount of money. Now I know why it is called Financial FREEDOM, it means it is being freed from something which require you to take actions!

Now the question is how to reach Financial Freedom? Well, I don't have all the steps answer in one article, but for sure few keys that I have identified are these:

1. Start within you! You should have the initiation and intention to break this chain of "Work for Money" cycle and Get a correct attitude toward Wealth! Everyone are deserved to be rich!
2. BUILD YOUR PASSIVE INCOME. Many of the successful people, few examples: T Harv Eker in Millionaire Intensive Mind and Robert Kiyosaki in Rich Dad Poor Dad mentioned how this passive income or assests can be your money machine to generate more and more money! Few forms of Passive Income: Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate (positive rental income), Intellectual Property (in the form of Royalty), Network Marketing, etc
3. Take ACTION and LEARN especially from the successful people. You can't possibly go to a plumber to learn cooking, you should learn cooking from people that can cook and if possible, go for the best chef. Same things apply here, you should learn abouth wealth creation or success from Successfull people!

So what do you waiting for, take an action now!

"If you're always waiting for perfect time, it will pass you by. Now is the great time."

Successfull Mind

Do you know how the trainer in the zoo train the elephant (imagine that they are such a big and strong animal).

What they do is since the elephant is baby; they will tie one of their legs using the iron chain. So whenever the baby elephant want to move, their movement will be restricted by the iron chain. The baby elephant did tried to break free the chain, however since they are still so young, the chain seems too strong for the baby elephant. The baby elephant tried and tried but yet they still can’t overcome it.

Along with time as the elephant grow, the trainer replaces the iron chain with just a normal rope. You may wonder why??? Even with iron chain, the fully grown elephant can easily break it free and now they replace that with just a normal rope? The answer is simple; there is bigger chain that has locked the elephant! That is THEIR OWN MIND. Whenever the elephant feel the presence of rope around their leg, they will stop moving just as when the iron chain locked their leg when they were baby.

Do you know that OUR MIND is such a powerful thing? If you keep thinking and feeding your MIND with: “No, I can’t do it”; “I’m such a failure”; “This thing is too tough for me”; “I will never be successful”; It may imprisoned you forever just what happen to the elephant.

Just like a saying: Everything starts in your mind, let’s feed this friend of us with POSITIVE thought that will lead to positive action and hence positive result in our life!

Learn from Successful People

As I said in Blog header, Learning is an endless journey. And to be successful, learning played a crucial part.

One of the key thing I learn from MMI seminar is your thought leads to how you feel which leads to your action and hence result. In other way, it can be written as this

INTENTION -- COMMITMENT -- TRAINING -- ACTION -- RESULT

Stage 1 and 2 are coming from inner you (which I committed now), the next step of Training is to enable you to know "How" to do the Action that will lead to the result you want to see.

So my 2ND step to come closer to SUCCESS is by having a way to learn that can accommodate to my schedule. And guess what, I come across to this wonderful website that you can actually subscribe to hundreds of online video seminar by SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE....

What a dream come true because Who is the best to learn success from if not by the successful people themselves?

Who will you learn from to teach how to do sales if not from Joe Girard who is the World Best Salesman (He sold 6 cars A DAY for consecutive 12 years!!), learn marketing from marketing guru Jay Abraham, and many more!!
