5 Steps to Financial Freedom
Are you fed up with having the same financial issues you have had year after year? If you are like most, you are wondering what happened to the past year? Another year has come and gone. Sadly for most, their finances are in the same place they have been for year after year or even worst.
There are many steps you can take to achieve financial freedom, but there are really five big ones, which can make an impact right away. If you were asked what is your biggest expense, what would your answer be? If you are like most, you would probably say your mortgage or rent, correct?
Well, by the end of this article, you will after a different answer…
The first step to financial freedom is to educate yourself about money. A great place to start is read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. The reason most people don’t understand money, is because traditional education doesn’t teach it.
It comes down to this…
You are either working for your money, or it is working for you.
The second step to financial freedom is to understand what is on the horizon for the coming years. You are probably aware that 2010 is the first year for baby boomers to start retiring.
Now think about this….
Is our government is going to be able to support all of the baby boomers? Before you answer you need to know baby boomers make up thirty percent of our population. You are aware of the world economy right now, just think what it is going to be like.
The fact is…
Because of all the people retiring and the current state of the economy, it is going to cause the greatest depression this world has ever seen.
The third step to financial freedom is to study what wealthy people do and do the same. Wealthy people have multiple streams of income. They do not put all of their eggs into one basket.
Most wealthy people have learned how to make money work for them using different streams of passive income. Such as real estate, tax lien certificates or anything that makes money with out any effort.
The forth step to financial freedom is learn how to play the tax game. To go back to the opening question, “what is your biggest expense?”, it is taxes. The wealthy have figured out owning business is one of the greatest tax shelters out there.
Check this out…
If you have a home base business, you get paid, then spend and pay taxes afterwards. Were as an employee works, pay taxes and then gets paid. Just the opposite of a business owner
The fifth step to financial freedom is to take action and seek out a mentor. Most people aren’t even willing to admit they are in financial crisis. They are full of pride and don’t want to admit they need help.
If you are in financial crisis, get honest and reach out. Life is not meant to be broke and miserable. Most successful people already know how to be successful was not taught to the masses. Reach out to someone successful, they enjoy helping others.
You probably have heard, insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. But most people don’t realize that is were their finances are. And the other thing most don’t realize is you can’t fix the problem with the mindset that created it.
Unfortunately, most people can turn their finances around if they would have spoke with someone who understood money. Lawyers won’t tell you how to get out, if they did, you wouldn’t need them

There are certainly quite a lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That may be a great level to convey up. I offer the thoughts above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up the place an important thing shall be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, however I am positive that your job is clearly recognized as a good game. Both girls and boys really feel the influence of only a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
Hey Jeff. Very sensible post.
Taking these steps really all does boil down to taking responsibility doesn’t it.
The governments not going to bail you out. Lawyers are not going to bail you out. You have to bail yourself out if you’re in a pickle… and if you don’t like what you’ve been getting due to actions you’ve taken this far… YOU have to change what you’re doing.
Getting educated, setting the right mindset and hanging with the right people are huge steps. Then taking action to get what you’ve ‘decided’ on…(not dreamed about)… is crucial.
I enjoyed watching you in action. I also watched your video up in the right hand corner. I didn’t know you were a Jeweler. Interesting how we all come from very different backgrounds!
Best

I think everyone would like to have financial freedom which is why more and more people are leaving the corporate world and giving it a try. However it’s not that easy and it doesn’t happen overnight.
I hope people are reading your post as they can learn a lot of value from you:)

Hi Jeff,
We definitely need to take personal responsibility for our own financial freedom. The great news is that it is entirely possible, though like anything else it will take some education and work.
Thanks for sharing your insights! Very valuable information!

Hi Jeff,
I’m not sure what today’s definition of financial freedom is, but the one I use is to be content with however much or little that you have. That gives you the freedom to acquire or not, depending on what you feel you mission in life is. Thanks for showing some ideas about how people can make money in this day and age.
