Financial Freedom Through Personal Growth

What will you say if I tell you that financial freedom can be achieved through personal freedom?

Don’t be surprised…

In reality, that’s the only way to become truly financially independent. Network marketing companies promote personal growth because they are well aware of the fact that financial freedom can be achieved through personal freedom only.

By personal freedom, I mean freedom from the perceptions, habits, fears and doubts that have taken space in your mind over the course of your life and prevent you from being happy and achieving your financial goals.

With personal growth as your primary goal, your other objectives also become easier to achieve. How does that happen?

That’s because this goal transforms your perceptions and makes you capable of facing all sorts of setbacks without feeling discouraged or demotivated. After achieving a reasonable level of financial success and wealth, you will not be affected by the external factors as much as your personal and psychological satisfaction.

I’ll suggest you to do two things:

1. Release the hindrances that stop you from achieving personal and financial freedom.

2. Allowing what is helpful in bringing you closer to your financial goals.

The FIRST task will be to make room for new ideas and tools for making money as well as achieving personal growth. When you understand the importance of personal growth, you will not give up in face of difficulties or hindrances on the path to financial freedom.

In the end, everyone is looking for more happiness, be it through more money or lesser debts. No shortcuts will make you feel good for long. Only, personal freedom can achieve that for you!

The key is to accept your strengths and weaknesses and work towards financial freedom by balancing them in an optimal manner. Whatever technique you use, it is important to remember that impatience will not lead you anywhere. Start with personal freedom and financial freedom will follow.

Different Levels Of Wealth And Financial Freedom

Financial freedom is the right of every human being. You DESERVE to lead a self-designed, debt-free life and do what you really want to.

Basically, there are four levels of wealth that can be attained by you, as follows:

Level #1. Financial stability
You will achieve financial stability when you have accumulated enough money to cover current expenses for at least six months. If you ask me, getting insurance for yourself and your family is also important. To enhance your financial stability, you can:
  • a. clear off outstanding debts to minimize the burden on your cash inflow.
  • b. find some good investment options. You must save at least 10-20% of your monthly income. This will ensure that you have sufficient cash flow during emergencies.
  • c. ask a financial advisor or attend a financial freedom conference to gather knowledge about the different aspects of business.

Level #2. Passive Income options
In this stage, you can stop working but still have enough money to pay off your debts and meet the monthly bills. There are plenty of alternatives for accumulating passive income but you need to choose the right one for you.

Level #3. Financial Freedom
Financial freedom is the stage where you have created enough wealth to sustain your current lifestyle without working again.

Level #4. Financial Surplus
As the last and highest level of wealth, financial surplus is attainted when you have enough passive income to continue with your present lifestyle without working for an indefinite period of time. This is the stage when you have reached your desired position and selected the lifestyle you really wanted.

True financial freedom will be achieved after you reach the final stage. However, don’t forget to enjoy and cherish the rewards of each stage of your financial success.

Financial Freedom Tips: How To Earn Money, Not Make It

Out of all the business advice I have received in the past few years as an entrepreneur, the BEST suggestion has been to “Earn money, not make it!”

Seems like a simple sentence but if you think about it, this can be a profound statement that can change your life. a lot of people think that earning money is the same as making more money. They’re WRONG.

Either you can understand and implement the difference or continue to struggle with a home based business that fails to give you financial freedom. Most people in the world have the capability to make money but only a select few actually earn it. That’s what makes them successful in the long term.

The question is…which of the two are you doing?
Just picking any money making scheme on the web and running after “get rich” schemes with a high commission will not get you anywhere near accomplishing your financial goals.
The key is to think about what exactly you want to do and where you want to reach. Earning money requires you to evaluate the different business opportunities and analyzing them for being lucrative or not.

Most people start with affiliate programs as the first step towards financial freedom. it won’t be hard to make money by promoting the top selling products without having any idea about their suitability for the buyer.

To earn money, you will have to recommend the best product for the buyer and his family. You will have to understand his desires and see the bigger picture. Earning money is about looking beyond the cash register and counting the number of dollars you make as commission.

Similarly, people who give useful, relevant information through their websites will see high-quality traffic of brand loyalists. For websites that depend on attracting user attention with flashy, cheap offers can make a quick buck but that’s not what financial freedom is about, not at all.

Obviously, people prefer the easier way out. Making money is just doing what millions of other people are doing. To earn money, you will have to be different, be ready to work hard and be willing to try new and innovative ideas.

Making money will definitely require lesser time and efforts but when you actually earn money, the financial freedom will be much more valuable and satisfying than anything else.

How Powerful Is Your Desire For Financial Freedom?

Very few people know about the power of desire.

Those who don’t, suffer and those who do, succeed!

How passionate are you about achieving your dream of financial freedom?

Can you stand up against all odds to gain what you desire most?

A strong desire is not just a momentary feeling or emotion. It’s like a powerful vibrational request that reflects your expectation for fulfillment of your desires. It’s a clear signal of what you WANT.

We hear about people achieving unimaginable feats. How do you think they do that?

I don’t believe in supernatural powers but what I do believe in is the power of human beings to get what they want, when they want and how they want. If you believe in yourself, there’s nothing to stop you from attaining social and financial greatness.

Let me tell you a secret now…there’s just one formula for success: Desire + Allow = Create.

This means that when you want something with great desire and anticipation, you will usually give one of the two reactions. Either you will allow yourself to create and achieve what you want or you will resist it and think that it is beyond your capabilities.

Now, you know what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the failures, the millionaires from the commoners. DON’T think that they have got where they are in a single day. It takes a lot of determination, will power, patience and persistence to convert your financial freedom dreams into reality. It’s definitely not for the weak hearted.

I can’t emphasize it more. DESIRE is the most powerful force that can make or break a man’s life. All your aspirations and goals start in the form of a desire, small or large. The key is to first convince yourself about what you really want and then make a plan to achieve your goals.

To give strength to your desire for financial freedom, I’d recommend you to gain as much knowledge about its various forms, techniques and strategies as you can. That will help in making your desire a BELIEF and then, you can build your wealth on a strong foundation.

Employ your powers of desire and creation and let go of your inhibitions, doubts and fears. Then you will be truly empowered to be a financially independent person.
