It Doesn't Happen By Accident.....
Do you want to reach financial freedom?
Do you want to reach it while you’re still young enough to enjoy it?
In my financial planning practice, I ask this question daily.
Not surprisingly, most people do want to become financially free.
In fact, when I ask them when they’d like to reach this goal, many say…..TODAY!
The problem is, there’s a huge difference between what we want and what we get.
95% of all people never reach financial freedom. Why?
It’s a sad fact but true, that most people spend more time planning their vacations than they ever do planning their financial future. I’ll bet many of you can relate to this exact fact.
But unless you set aside some time to give this area serious thought and energy, the chances of you joining the elite top 5% who do reach financial freedom are slim and none.
Winning the lottery is not a plan for reaching this goal. Unfortunately, for too many of us, it’s about the only way we can ever hope to turn this dream into reality.
I once heard my good friend and mentor, Harv Eker, President of Peak Potentials Training and the author of the New York Times Best Selling Book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” say, “what we focus on, expands”.
In other words, if you do not begin to concentrate on doing the things and creating the habits that will lead you to what you want, you will never achieve those dreams.
On the other hand, when you begin to focus time and energy every single day towards achieving your goals, you increase the likelihood of its accomplishment tenfold.
Conventional wisdom is doing what everyone else is doing. Unfortunately, if you do what everyone else is doing, you’ll get the exact same results as everyone else.
Since only about 5% of all people achieve financial freedom, you can’t simply do what everyone else is doing and expect to get different results.
The very first thing you must commit to doing is to USE MORE OF YOUR BRAIN POWER!
Again, as my friend Harv says at his seminars, when he was broke and going nowhere, a millionaire friend of his Dad’s told him, “if you’re not getting everything you want, all that means is there is something you don’t know.”
And I will tell you the exact same thing.
If you aren’t getting what you want in life, all that means is there’s something YOU don’t know.
Education doesn’t end when we graduate from school. It is a lifetime process.
You have the opportunity every single day to continue to educate yourself in the areas that are important to you.
So, if you want to reach your full financial potential, you can educate yourself so that you know what to do differently than what you’re currently doing.
Knowing what to do and actually doing it are 2 different things. It’s one thing to know what to do, it’s a whole other thing to DO WHAT YOU KNOW!
Over the past 37 years, I have never stopped learning as much as I can about the things that are important to me in my life.
I encourage you to do the same.
Over the past 18 months I have written on this blog about numerous success principles. It not only is a way for me to share these concepts with you, more importantly, it’s a reminder to myself of things I know but sometimes forget.
If you truly want to reach your full financial potential, it starts with your willingness to learn some new ideas and concepts and put them into action in your life.
In the past 6 months, I have helped dozens of people begin to reach for their full potential, and it is my greatest hope and passion to help hundreds and then thousands of others to reach theirs as well.
Open up your mind. Create a burning desire to learn and grow and change and do.
Before you know it, you’ll be on your way, and once you get some momentum, there’ll be no stopping you.
Namaste.

Jeff,
It took me quite some time to actually get to the point of 100% COMMITMENT in changing my financial picture. Quite some time actually equals 38 years.
This may ring a bell with you.... "My part time business is managing and investing my money and creating passive income streams.
The only difference as it applies to my life is that I have made it a full time job for me.
Jeff
I know I have to start doing the correct actions.

I have continued to work and educate myself as much as I can. Waking up almost a year ago. Changing my blueprint is hard. The results are great.
