Financial Freedom Day For You
The day you become financially
independent, will be the financial freedom day for you. It
will be the day, about which you have always dreamt of. It
will be the day when you can do whatever your heart says,
without calculating the pros and cons of it.
Understandably, it will be the biggest day of your life and
each day before it will be an exciting journey towards your
dream destination.
For most of us, there is a gap between our current
financial condition (financial baseline) and the desired
one (financial freedom day).
Impulsive, unplanned steps will never bridge this gap. To
reach your long-term goal successfully, you would need to
chalk out a clear and result-oriented plan.
It always helps to have specific, measurable targets to
reach a financial goal. Making concise and no-nonsense
plans will help you know what you exactly want and so
decide how you want to achieve.
To reach the final destination of your journey, your plan
will work like a road map, directing you at every step and
helping you when you go wrong. By being able to identify
your mistakes, you would better know how to overcome them
yourself. Clear, measurable targets will even make it
easier to figure out how far you have come and how much
more you need to go.
Try and answer the following question at the beginning of
your journey:
How much money do you need every month?
What should the total value of your assets?
At what age do you want the above?
What day, month and year will it be then?
Most of us get scared by the very idea of having to deal
with numbers. But don't be daunted by numbers. In this case
quantitative goals will help you in monitoring.
Set practical goals in the beginning and start working on
them. Always keep them flexible, so that you can change
them if need be. You will be able to make adjustments
according to what suits your needs, as you start
understanding them slowly.
People, who have the passion to make money, do not simply
want to become 'rich'. They want to earn money because for
them money is not the means to an end, not the end itself.
It enables them to do whatever they have always wanted to
do. Money is also the result of something higher - that is
their will to work hard and nurture higher thoughts of
life.
Rich people always use their money in several noble ways
like setting up foundations trusts and corporate bodies.
They don't ever stop at the money making venture, but come
up with ever new ways and means to increase their income.
Most rich people make investments in stocks, real estate,
and art and antiques etc. They always have new horizons to
look forward to. They never stop dreaming about making more
and more money.
Even you can set your own goals right away. A little
foresight and planning will help you achieve your financial
freedom. Make a checklist of the following attributes when
you set up your targets:
1. They should be specific
Make an extensive plan as to how you want to achieve your
financial independence. state specific facts and figures so
that you exactly know what to do and how to do it.
2. They should be measurable
Mention dates and amounts in dollars to monitor your rate
of success. Put down in numbers, the amount of business
that you managed to do and the money that you have made, in
dollars.
3. They should be achievable
Set goals that you will be able to achieve. Also put down
what you will need to achieve them.
4. They should be realistic
Make the most of your resources. Pick out someone who has
already reached his financial goal. Ask for his advice as
to how he managed to complete his task. He will point out
your mistakes more effectively.
5. They should be timely
Set deadlines for yourself. A fixed time frame will provide
you the required motivation to achieve your financial
freedom.
