4 Secrets of Financial Freedom

Everyone is looking for financial freedom, and we try to do it by getting involved in something we are passionate about. Many people have found this freedom by starting a business or working their way to the top in a company. In the past 5 years, there have been more millionaires than in any other period looking back. Much of their success can be attributed to the popularity of the internet, and the resources available online. The cool thing is that many people have written about this success offering their insight into what makes a person successful, or what someone must do to stay ahead of their competition. These same people have mentioned the “secrets to financial freedom” and have written lengthy books while making millions of dollars through sales. Today, we’ll be going through something very special…

We’ll be exploring the “so-called” secrets and what you can do right now to start working your way towards financial freedom. However, it’s very important to mention that this freedom does not necessarily mean you’ll be happy because no amount of money can buy happiness. However, you can use the money you earn to help others and build a wall of happiness around you.

Let’s get started and your feedback will be greatly appreciated:

1. Money Management

You might have a great foundation with your family supporting you or have a high paying career, but you won’t get closer to financial freedom if you don’t know how to manage your money. I know many people who spend more than they make, and this doesn’t bring them closer to their bottom line. To achieve true financial freedom, you must know how to manage your money and learn how to save, letting your money work for you. Many of the top money managers have stated that if your spending habits are uncontrollable, then you’ll end up worst off then some of the people who don’t make much at all. Therefore, saving money is one of the most important steps to financial freedom.

Start to understand your spending habits, and jump back on track by controlling your expenses, learning about savings and budgeting. Know what’s important right now in your life and what you can do to reinvest into your savings. Identify the areas where money spent truly pays off in a better quality of life for your core interests. For example, some people spend money on their business because they know long-term this will increase profits, grow their customer base and ultimately their business.

2. Your Career Choice

This is going to be one of the most important decisions you’ll make ever, and you should spend time making it by researching growth markets. For you to get closer to financial freedom, you must love what you do, and be earning enough money doing it. However, on the other hand, I know a lot of people who make enormous money but are miserable getting up to go to work in the morning. Follow your passion and everything else will fall into place accordingly.

Some of the best advice I can give you about choosing a career is to get involved in one which plays to your best strengths, and where you’ll be an asset to the company. If you start your own business, then base it around those very same set of skills.

3. Always Set Goals

Someone once provided me with a great analogy about why setting goals is important, here what they said –

“When you set goals, you’ll be like a ship with a compass knowing exactly where it’s going. However, without goals, you’ll be lost at sea”.

Therefore, you should have a clear-cut plan about what you want to accomplish, and how you’ll get there. You should set small goals which, when combined” will lead you to a higher purpose. Setting smaller goals provide you with motivation each time you check something off your list. So, what makes a great goal plan?

Let’s look at some of the questions you should be asking:

  • What is my main objective?
  • How can I achieve my end goal?
  • What is the time-limit I must meet this goal?
  • Can I network with others for help?
  • What other way can I achieve my end goals? Hiring help, working for others, etc.

4. Network with Others

This can also be commonly grouped with helping others, and building a network of people that you can rely on to get the job done No matter what successful entrepreneurs you ask, they’ll all give you the same advice – you must get help and then help others to succeed. There are people who have been involved in the same business before you so know creative ways to get the job done. They know the right people which will be a great asset when trying to grow your business, and to your bottom-line. However, for you to benefit you must reach out to people in your industry and build close relationships with them. These people can help increase your brand awareness, profits, guide you in the right direction, and finally help you from making common mistakes.

How can you find the right people to network with? Luckily, we live in a period where resources are available online so all you should do is a quick search. I would search in Google and find bloggers, companies or even marketing companies who are in your niche. Find and connect with the right person and reach out to them making sure your follow-up afterward. Tell them about your passion and ask them for advice on how you can grow your business leading you to faster financial freedom. Remember, financial freedom is all about making enough money to save, invest and using it to provide you the freedom you are looking for.

Final Thoughts

In the end, everyone is trying to achieve that complete financial freedom so they can live a more enjoyable fulfilling life. However, gaining this freedom does require smart investing and money saving. For example, it’s difficult to gain that freedom when you have uncontrollable spending habits without a clear vision. It’s time you start saving and investing in your business so you achieve that complete financial freedom.
