Secrets To Wealth and Freedom Part 2/3

Financial Freedom — Part 2 of 3

Today, there are more ways to become wealthy and free than ever in history.

There are more opportunities than ever in history, and there are more resources on becoming wealthy, free and successful than ever in history!

So here we are, more ways, opportunities and resources to become wealthy than ever before and yet still only a small percentage of the population achieve this goal that almost all of us have: financial freedom.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?

Why would we have all this available and still not achieve what we want?

Simple.

There is ONE driving force behind all of your behaviour and actions around this area of life called money, wealth and financial freedom.

Gondola ride through the Venice canals! Our school-year of traveling Europe is almost coming to an end. (Crazy how fast it went!) One more country after this then back to Canada June 9th.

This is true in every area of life, not just money, but man does it apply in the area of money and wealth!

Maybe you're like me and found yourself frustrated at times with how this played out in your life.

I always thought when I was younger that if I just made more money, I'd have more. Then when I was 19, I worked a bridge construction job that took my income from $1500/month to $6000/m.

Well... I found a way to be broke even though I had quadrupled my income!

Similar patterns showed up in my life as I progressed in my business life, but had these recurring themes of financial struggles.

You've probably seen this before too whether it's in your own life or others, maybe it's not broke, but paycheck to paycheck, or in a continual cycle of staying in debt or just not making the progress you want financially.

It wasn't until I truly learned not just what this driving force was, but most importantly, how to actually CHANGE it.

The driving force behind all behaviours in your life is your BELIEFS!

Beliefs determine behaviour, PERIOD!

All turnarounds in ANY area of our life are a turn around of BELIEF.

Whether you already know what these beliefs are (conscious) or you don't know (unconscious), you're still being driven by them. The good news is, if you're already conscious of them, that's the starting point to changing them.

Broadly speaking there are two main belief systems:

One rooted in fear and scarcity.

One rooted in love and abundance.

Are you living from love and abundance or fear and scarcity?

Neither of these states have anything to do with the amount of money you earn or amount of money you have, but instead what your STATE OF MIND and STATE OF BEING reflect.

Here's some questions to reflect on this week to figure out if you're operating more from scarcity or more from abundance and if you're heading towards greater financial success or struggle (don't worry, you can always change directions if you're heading the wrong direction):

This Week's Exercise For Your Journal

On a scale of 1 - 10 (1 being never, 10 being always) rate the following.

1. I worry about how much money I have or whether I'll have enough in the future.
2. I frequently check my bank accounts, investments, or debts because I'm concerned about where they stand.
3. I delay investing in myself, my business, or opportunities because I'm afraid of losing money.
4. I find myself focusing more on what I don't have rather than what I do have.
5. I often feel guilty, anxious, or stressed when spending money on things I want or would like to have.
6. I often feel worried, anxious or stressed when unexpected expenses come up.
7. I avoid looking at my finances because they create stress or discomfort.
8. I believe my income has the potential to grow significantly in the future.
9. I feel truly grateful for all the money I have now.
10. I believe there are abundant opportunities available for me to create wealth and financial freedom and that I can successfully use these tools.
11. I save and invest a portion of my income every single month towards my financial freedom.
12. I feel genuinely happy for others when I see them succeed financially.
13. I follow a specific money management system for my money.
14. I feel good about my financial situation.
15. I am actively taking steps to grow my income and my investments.

Evaluating Your Scores

Whether your scores were high on the scarcity side or the abundance side, don't judge yourself or make it mean anything about YOU.

It has to do with your belief systems and habits, yes. But it is not a reflection of your worth as human being.

And, if you didn't like the scores the best part is: YOU CAN CHANGE THEM!

The next email you get from me is going to be strategies and ideas for you on how you can do that!

And lastly, if you want to print these questions out and do them later or with your spouse I've created them into a easy to use PDF for you.
