The Quickest Way to Become Financially Independent
Rana Shahbaz
I help founders clarify their website messaging using StoryBrand 7 Part Framework to connect with their audience, increase conversions and grow their businesses one email a day.
It is so simple that most of you will not believe it.
Let me clarify the difference between financial freedom and being wealthy, first.
They say that wealth is a product of your mind.
Size of your bank balance cannot make you wealthy!
Your wealth includes:
- Gratitude
- Living a life on purpose
- Adding value to the lives of others
- Your health
- Your family & friends
Most of us are wealthy as per this definition. What is your opinion?
The definition of financial independence is:
“You never have to work again to live your life. You are working, because you want to not because you have to.” Tony Robbins
You should start your journey to become financially independent with a wealthy mindset.
Here is a formula to become financially independent, which I learned from Tony Robbins:
- Spend less than what you earn each month
- Invest the difference - let your money work for you while you sleeping
- Reap the benefits of compounding over the years
It is so simple but you should not confuse simple things with easy things.
The Big Ideas Are Always Simple But Not Easy to Implement
A daily walk or Jog - can't be more simple than that, but how many of us do that?
Saying thank you - how often we do that?
Letting it go - do you do that often?
Whatsaap - a simple text messaging service
Google - a simple search engine
An iPod - a simple device to carry 1000 songs
Big ideas simplify the lives of the masses.
Most people who are happy in their lives are wealthy, regardless of their financial situation. You can be earning millions but not wealthy.
I consider myself wealthy because of:
- Good health - health is the biggest wealth
- Loving & caring family & friends - you can't buy with money
- Amazing team - teamwork is a dream work
- Excellent customers - we are so lucky to have them
- Generous LinkedIn family - why did I found you guys so late :-)
Do you consider yourself wealthy?
If yes, your journey to becoming financially independent gets a lot easier.
