7 Pillars of Financial Freedom

1. Achieve financial freedom with clear, specific financial goals and a plan of action.
If you don't know where you're going, you will never get there. Just as you need a map to get to any other destination, you must create your own map to achieve your financial goals. How much money do you want to earn? What is your plan of action to earn this amount? What resources do you need or each your goals? What help do you need from others to achieve your goals. Write up a detailed plan of action so every day you can take action steps that will see you getting closer and closer to your target. If your money goal is a long way from where you are today, then aim for a 20% gain per year as a great starting point.
2. Always strive to do your best, be the best and work hard. Opportunities will come your way when you stand out from the crowd. Aim to go above and beyond. Aim to give great value. Don't settle for mediocrity in how your serve your customers. It doesn't matter if you think there are others who know more then you - simply be sure you are the best YOU can be.
3. Work in or create a business in which you are serving people or giving. Give people what they want, need or can use! Look for what people are complaining about or frustrates them and figure out a way to fill that need. Years ago, a man called J.A. Burchill was aware that people were constantly complaining about single pieces of paper falling off desks and scattering all over the ground - thus the simple 'notepad' was born and has made him millions of dollars.
Listen to your customers, give them what they want and you will have financial freedom!
4. Become responsible for your personal life. Losers make excuses, winners make progress. Losers blame others; winners accept responsibility. It's that simple.
5. You must work! There is this myth in the internet marketing world that you can make millions of dollars working just 1-2 hours a day. Ask any millionaire and he will tell you he works 10-14 hours per day. This is partly because that's what it takes to manage and control the empire he has created, and partly because it's his nature to be a driven, motivated individual.
Many people say they want to achieve 'financial freedom', yet are unwilling to actually do the work it takes to get there. You may often see people who appear to have 'overnight success' Work an 8 hour day and you get survival. Anything over 8 hours and you invest into your financial future.
6. Learn to manage your time well. Wealthy people can achieve more in one day than what you could achieve in a whole week. They understand how to make quick decisions, systems, how to prioritize, how to delegate and outsource. No matter what level you are at in business, as you get better at managing your time, you will see a corresponding increase in how much money you make.
7. Determination, persistence and be willing to take calculated risks. It's easy to get disappointed when things don't work out as well as you expected. Rather than give up, look at it this way. Now you know at least one way to get what you want that doesn't work. And that actually makes you one step closer to finding a way that does work. When Thomas Edison was trying to create a light globe, he actually failed hundreds of times before he achieved what he set out to do. Imagine how dark your world might still be if he had given up before? People need you and what you have to offer.
"If you want to succeed, then double your failure rate."
These are just a few ideas to get you headed in the direction of creating your own financial freedom.
It takes blood, sweat and tears - but it will pay off in the end. Big time.
