Financial freedom warfare
Many authors offer the promise of "financial freedom", such as Robert Kiyosaki, Randy Gage, Donald Trump, etc. and certainly, their ideas are good. Their books are selling because people are desperate for financial freedom. Or rather, people want a way out of the rat race. They want freedom from "forced labour."
My approach is different. I offer ideas for achieving financial freedom, but also a rigorous, systematic method for achieving it. As a career and business coach, I'm responsible for helping clients achieve tangible results.
The first thing I tell clients who are seeking financial freedom is: "Expect to wage the biggest and most violent war in your life. The struggle toward financial freedom will totally transform you. If you do not feel you are being totally transformed by the process, then you are NOT really on the path to financial freedom."
There's no "duplicatable" system, there's no "the work has been done for you" kind of sweet talk, there's no promise of "you won't have to sell anything."
The truth is that to become financially free, you have to earn it. You have to wage battle upon battle to improve yourself. You have to face the truths that most people would rather ignore about their own strengths and weaknesses. (Yes, people do ignore their own strengths because they would rather avoid the responsibility of having to grow and develop them to worldclass levels).
The truth is that financial freedom is only for the elite. Sure, the masses will buy books and audiotapes and all kinds of "home study" instructional materials. But they simply won't have the willpower to go through the hard self-discipline to make it happen.
Success (in this case, financial freedom) is not a matter of how much you know or how much you've read or how many seminars you've attended. It's not even a matter of how smart you are. There are tons and tons of university-educated professionals who will toil away their entire lives to build someone else's fortune.
Rather, success is a matter of willpower.
And willpower is instantly palpable. I meet people and within a few minutes, I know the extent of their willpower.
Since reality obeys superior willpower, it is in your interest to ONLY network and work with people who have invincible willpower. They will bring you farther in life than the majority of people who, apparently, don't have enough willpower to put down their goals.
The ultimate test of willpower is to find out what the other person has already achieved in life. Nothing requires pristine and clear willpower than achievement.
Of course, if you hang around people who have lots of achievements, you might feel like a loser if you haven't achieved much. But don't think so. You have to be a loser before you can be a winner.
You can pick up a great many habits and high standards from high achievers, so try to network and work with them as much as you can.
This saying is appropriate: "If you want to learn how to become an eagle, you should not hang around with the ducks."
