Finding Your Reason to Become FI

Why do you want to be financially independent? What drives you and motivates you? What spurs you into action? Is it a dehumanizing job? To spend more time with your family? Do you want to be financially independent before you have a family? Do you just want to spend your time differently, doing things like golfing or billiards or traveling? Take some time and reflect on what you truly want and also the things that drive you to escape the rat race. Finding your motivators will enhance the clarity of your goal and how badly you want it.
Next, make a plan to achieve your goal of financial independence (FI). You can use www.independentwealth.us to help you make a plan. Cut yourself off from bulls__ tv, radio, and web sites that lead you away from wealth by temporarily distracting you. Meditation would be a good idea.
Now, enhance your plan. How can you earn and save more? How could you earn a raise? Could you start a small business? What could you read that would help you? Get yourself really focused on creating wealth, adding value, finding suitable investments, and/or planning a venture.
You will likely hit rough spots. Keep going. An excellent attitude will be an invaluable asset. Continue to believe in your goal and dream of financial independence.
