5. How To Become Financially Independent

The secret to achieving financial independence and real wealth is to establish the mindset of wealth.

 In order to earn more money, improve your marketable skills in an area of demand. Focus on personal development to increase your value in the market by becoming better in what you do or by doing something that’s in more demand. Look for opportunities to do what you love most in a way that provides service to others on a massive scale. Pay yourself part of everything you earn, saving leads to wealth.

 Learn to invest your money wisely. It’s true that a fool and his money are soon parted, but a wise person and his money will enjoy constantly increasing levels of abundance. Get expert help in your investments, but make your own decisions. Focus on achieving the levels of wealth in their order of importance: first comes protection, followed by independence. If your investment income covers your essential needs without having to work, you’re already financially independent. If not, make this your first major objective, after you have a protection fund in place. And once you achieve financial independence, you open the door to ultimate freedom. Whatever you want can be yours.

Achieving more wealth will empower you to expand your service to others and in the process, become more than you get. Keep money in perspective. It’s only a means to an end, not an end in itself. Don’t let money control your life. Be the master of your money, not it’s servant. Be grateful for what you have, wherever you are. Gratitude will open the doors to abundance for you. Share what you have! Nothing builds character more than helping others! Whatever you do to help other will be returned to you tenfold and more!
