Tips to Achieve Financial Freedom - Part 1

Once we have the right mindset, we have to move on to HOW?

One of the way to achieve financial freedom is building multiple stream of passive income.

Passive income is one where money is received usually on a regular basis, without continuing effort. This does not mean no effort at all; most passive income streams require great effort to start with. For example, royalty from patent rights or licensing agreement, rental from property, bonus or commission from building a MLM business or set up internet businesses by selling digital products like ebooks, softwares, etc whereby you can still generate income while you are on vacation or sleeping.

One of the latest and hottest idea to generate income is from internet marketing. I used to think that I do not have a business or any products to sell and hence, I can't set up an online business.

I am wrong. After attending a seminar on internet marketing, I realised that online business is going to be big. Everybody is hooked to internet and online everyday. I am definitely one of them that might not survive without internet.

This is because we can do a lot of things with internet without geographical boundary. We can communicate with friends all over the world as long as they have internet. We can obtain information on the latest products launching by company and see its "look" on the net. We can even buy it online if we are happy with it. When we are planning our holiday, we can find more information from the net, source for the cheapest hotels, transport, day trips, airlines and even book whatever we love to do during vacation online.

As a result, online spending increase like crazy over the years. Curious to know how big is the online business? The market is as big as US$229billion by year 2008. So, are you excited to be ahead of the rest and start selling?

If you were to surf the net and search for "online business", "internet business", "internet marketing", "home based business", ...etc, you can find a lot of information. So, keep an open eyes on how the rest are doing. Learn from them. Find the right niche. There are a lot of such information online.

How to leverage on internet marketing as a way to financial freedom?

The most common way is generating high volume of traffic to market our websites. To drive a huge volume of traffic to our websites, we need to have the right skills making the content interesting and running some advertisement campaigns. In return, we can make money by selling services and/or products (digital or hard goods) to the visitors. We can earn money by getting people to advertise in our websites for instance through Google Adsense. On top of that we can redirect the traffic to other’s people websites and earn referral fees and lots more other way through Ebay, Amazon.com, etc…

For someone who love to write, do you know that we can even make money by blogging with interesting and niche contents. The most profitable blog use a mix of affiliate marketing and Adsense type advertising to make money.

Belief can be the greatest barrier or support to financial freedom

A person's belief can determine the outcome notwithstanding that it is an impossible dream. Hence, my dear friends, don't limit your potential and stop by your own belief or inner obstacles to make your dream happens!

If you think you can, YOU CAN!

If you believe in yourself, impossible dream will come true one day.

Just want to share some inspiration for all the friends who are on the same journey to pursue financial freedom...

"Doctors and scientists said it was impossible!
Human could not run a mile in less than 4 minutes!
He would die in the foolish attempt.
It was an Impossible Dream.

Our bone structure was wrong.
Wind resistance was too strong.
We have inadequate lung power.
Our heart could not take the strain.

25 year-old Roger Bannister wasn’t listening.
He endured thousands of monotonous laps,
Around the same running track,
Determined to shape his body and mind.

May 6, 1954, at Oxford University in England,
Was viewed as simply another attempt,
In the history of foolish attempts,
To attain the Impossible Dream.

Yet at the end of the race,
The stop-watch held a different view.
The result was announced.
“Result of one mile… 3 minutes…”
The rest was lost in the roar of the crowd.

Roger Bannister blazed across the finish line,
In a time of 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.
The Impossible Dream was now an event for the history records,
Considered one of the greatest milestone in sport history.

46 days after Bannister breakthrough,
The record was broken again by another runner.
By the end of 1957, 16 runners had achieved the Impossible.

Runners did not suddenly get “better” in those few short years.
They simply begin to believe.
Running a mile in less than 4 minutes was not only Impossible,
It has been achieved!

Todate, 955 runners have attained the Impossible Dream,
Accomplishing the Impossible 4700++ time.

Many of life barriers and obstacles could come from within.
We create limits for ourselves.
But once those barriers are broken,
We realize the biggest barriers are our beliefs.

What beliefs are keeping you from achieving your dreams?
Don’t accept them.
Don’t listen to the voices of doubt.
Forge ahead and,
You too,
Can achieve IMPOSSIBLE DREAMS!"

First Step to Financial Freedom

Is It Possible to Achieve Financial Freedom?

Yes, absolutely. Everybody can achieve financial freedom. It is our choice whether we would like to work on it. Probably, when we heard about financial freedom, we would think that it is very hard to attain it. If not, everybody will be financially free and rich.

We might be right that it is hard but it is not impossible. Today, only top 5% of the population is able to achieve it. Why? Because the remaining 95% accepts that they are the average and hence, do not deserve to be rich.

"Too many people are satisfied with being Average.
Too many people think like everybody else."

The 1st thing we need to change before we can be rich is changing our mindset. "If we think we can, WE CAN!"
"If we think we can be rich, WE CAN!"
"Think like the rich to be rich!"

For some reason, if you keep telling yourself that you do not deserve to be rich, your mind is capable of finding thousands or millions of reasons or excuses for you not to be rich. This is how our mind works.

So, first thing first, we need to have positive self-esteem and thinking.

"Rich people act in spite of fear.
Average people stop by fear."

Don't be afraid to be rich. Instead, committed to find ways to be rich...

If you think you can, YOU CAN!

What is Financial Freedom?

Different people will have their own definition of financial freedom.

What is your definition of financial freedom?

Have you ever thought about it before?

For me, after working as a full time employee in a multinational company for some time, I am tired of the typical 9 to 5 and highly stressful working environment. I don't like to have irregular meals because of an important meeting or conference call over lunch or stay back late in order to complete an urgent deliverable and hence, missed my dinner.

I don't appreciate the idea of I had to work during public holidays for some "critical" reason or apply and beg for leave to go on vacation from my managers. Most of the time, my vacation is limited to 1 week max because my job can not afford to have me leaving for more than 1 week....and there will be a long list of what I don't like as an employee...

Having said that, positive employee will tell me that I should be happy that I still have a job while others might not even have jobs or just lost their jobs.

I told myself that, even though I am very lucky to have a job, I have to find ways to be out of this situation which is also known as escape from rat race. From the previous working experience, I know that this is not the kind of life I want. More importantly, I believe that I always have a choice to opt for what I want in life. I want to find ways to achieve financial freedom.

Therefore, personally, my own definition of financial freedom is having adequate money to live without working while still maintaining my preferred life style. I believe in building multiple streams of passive income to ensure that it is enough to cover the daily expenses. This will free up most of my 9 to 5 time and let me focus on ways to help the unfortunate and needed.

Hence, my own financial freedom is able to live, work, play and give freely...

How about yours?
If you have never thought about this before, spend some time to ask yourself about this question...what do you want in life?
