The 5 Paths to Financial Freedom

The 5 Path to Financial Freedom

Why do you work? 

Is it because you love what you do and would still be doing it regardless of whether there was any financial incentive? Or, it is because of the money? 

If the answer is the latter then you are not free. Of course, there are degrees of servitude, but if your inner voice is rebelling against the routine of reporting to an office, or place or work, 5 days a week, 48 weeks of year, then your time is not your own. 

So, what can you do?

August 1995

I'm a teenager and I'm competing in a local tournament. Although I'm not committed to becoming a pro, I take these competitions seriously. I see them as a test of my skill and mental toughness. They're also sanctioned by the LTA (the main tennis organisation in the UK) and they carry ratings and rankings points. More than that, though, I'm playing against my main rival.

Entering into a state of hypnosis simply means that your brain waves are altering.

What I Learned from being Fired 3 Times in 5 Months

you're fired

Almost twenty years ago to the day, I got fired from a filing job at a major UK residential property developer.

I lasted four hours!

The manager called the temporary agency I was working for at the time and complained about my lackadaisical work ethic and lack of filing experience. 

I couldn't believe it. Who needs experience for a filing job? However, as I took my leave from the office and began the premature journey home to my parents' house, it all began to make sense.
