We are over half way through our changing the mindset course and I hope by now I have been able to suggest a few ideas that will start to get you thinking about how you can make positive steps to changing the way you think about wealth and financial freedom.
I don’t know where you are in your life right now, you may be fresh out of school and wondering what to do with your life. You may have worked for the last 10 years and now thinking there must be more to life than this. Or you may be mid life or coming up to retirement and thinking about topping up the pension fund or taking early retirement.
One of the things that I consider really sad of living in western society today, is the fact that from our birth, we are preconditioned and it is predetermined that we will access the ‘school’ socialisation process, and be churned out in to society, with the belief; that is a good thing to have NO aspirations and happily slot in to relatively low paid jobs, whilst the business owners get rich.
On the flip side, there is the myth that if we don’t want to line other peoples’ pockets with money, we should work and study hard for a profession and become a doctor, banker or lawyer. And that ultimately by having a well paid job we will yield great wealth.
I don’t want to dumb down the importance of studying hard and getting qualifications and the role that educational establishments play in ensuring that we are law abiding, disciplined and intelligent human beings - but to think being a professional will provide us with a ticket to stress-free-wealth-town is a big assumption to make.
Robert Kiyosaki is a leading authority in network marketing who talks about what he calls the cash flow quadrant and the different ways that individuals can make money.
Watch this video below where he describes how it is beneficial to be in business for yourself and not for someone else - and how it isn’t money that makes people rich but the tools and systems we use to build our businesses.
If I can give you any advice today, it would be to find a way to be in business for yourself and to make the money you ‘do’ have right now work for you.
You might find this post I wrote helpful in helping you find your niche.
You might already be in business and already love what you do, if this is the case consider how you can make your passion even more profitable.
Yours in Discovery,
