9 Steps To
Financial Freedom - A Preview
The first steps of this book take you back to discover why you don’t do the things you know you should do and bring you beyond that—to where you can take action.
These steps will free you to open up a dialogue about money with your parents, your children, and, most important, yourself.
The next three steps are the laws of managing money. These laws are must-do’s. They cover everything from wills and trusts and what insurance you need (and don’t need) to new ways to think about debt and your 401(k) or retirement plan to how to invest and what to invest in. They teach you why you must trust yourself more than you trust anyone else with your money.
The goal of these particular steps is to make you as
independent from financial advisers as possible. Over the years, I learned that
it was in my clients’ best interest for them to take control over their money,
not to relinquish it, even to me. If, later on, they choose to entrust their
money to someone else, with these steps they would no longer be able to be taken
advantage of by an unscrupulous adviser—or by their unwillingness to face up to
the facts and figures of their own finances.
Once you take these steps, you will discover the
exhilaration that comes from wanting to deal with your money, not just having to
deal with it.
The last three steps take you beyond the realm of
finances, to the wealth that money can’t buy.
When it comes to money, freedom starts to happen when what you do, think, and say are one. You’ll never be free if you say that you have more than enough, then act as if and think you don’t. You’ll never be free if you think you don’t have enough, then act as if and say you do.
You will have enough when you believe you will and
take the actions to express that belief.
And you’ll have more than enough when you realize
that you can be rich at any income because you are more than your money, you are
more than your job or title, more than the
car you drive or the clothing you wear.
Your own power and worth are not judged by what money
can sell and what money can buy; true freedom cannot be bought or sold at any
price.
True freedom, true
wealth, is that which can never be lost.
Setting Your
Goals
Please ask yourself right now: What is it that I
want to get out of reading this book?
Financial freedom
is something we’re all working for, but each of us has specific things that concern
us the most.
To achieve complete financial freedom, you’ll need to
follow all the nine steps. But depending on what your goal is, you’ll want to pay
special attention to certain sections of the book.
So let us begin by deciding on your goals.
Here are some examples; feel free to choose new ones
or rephrase these in a different way.
I want to pay off my credit cards
and get out from under my debt. (See Step 5.)
I want to make sure that there will
be enough money for my child’s education. (See Step 6.)
I want to retire in ten years. (See
Step 5.)
I want to be confident that my family
will be provided for if something happens to me. (See Step 4.)
I want to take a year off and travel.
(See Step 5.)
I want to get a better grasp on my
expenses so I’m not always behind paying my bills. (See Step 3.)
I want to know that my mother can
afford it if she needs medical care as she gets older. (See Step 4.)
The most
important thing to remember is that whatever your goal is, you can make it
happen and goal by goal, step by step, you can take charge of your destiny and achieve
financial freedom.
The POWER is within you.

What Do You Want From Your Money
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR MONEY
ReplyDeleteWhat an individual does with his money matters a lot in his life.
There is nothing like having enough money.
We could manage our debts better,arrange for our children's educational needs and strategically plan now than to wait to a later date.
We can protect what we have saved so far and then save more.
We should try to understand that true financial freedom does not depend on how much one has at the moment and at his disposal.
The financial freedom that people are looking for could only be achieved when one has the power over his fears and anxieties instead of allowing the fears and anxieties have power over him. It is better to address the fears first, then the finances.
Someone can make money to work for him. This could only be achieved when he gives money energy, time and understanding.
One has to invest in money making ventures like stocks, housing estate and its management, bonds and Treasury bills.
We must realize that money is a living entity which must be tended and nurtured..
If an individual tends to money like a living entity, then it will flourish, grow, take care of the individual for as long as he needs money. The money will later take care of the loved ones he may leave behind if he dies.
