Everyone has a desire for financial freedom. If you are
like me you have done all the things you have been told to
try and create that financial independence. Here is the
blueprint we've all been told to follow since high school:
- Go to school and work hard.
- Develop good habits.
- Get a job in the real world.
- Keep improving in your job and through your hard work,
hopefully your boss will give you a raise.
- If you are talented and play the political games
correctly you will keep moving up the corporate ladder and
other people will determine your value to the company and
decide what you are worth to the company.
- As you move up the corporate ladder you will be given
more money and responsibility and you will have less and
less time for the things that are truly important. i.e.
Your family and your health.
- You will do this for your whole adult life, and through
proper investing, you will hopefully retire at 65 and be
able to live out your final 20+ years. Hopefully you have
not missed too many little league games and dance recitals
that you are kids had along the way.
Obviously the above plan works really well for corporate
executives. From a financial perspective these folks do
much better than most. However, most of those captains of
industry trade off financial success for their health and
family life. In addition, unless you are in a particular
career where you have direct control of your earnings, you
really have to rely that other people will recognize your
value to the company and give you a raise. As you move up
though, you are making trade offs with your time and family
usually suffers.
So the question is how can we all achieve financial success
and independence without the tradeoff of spending less time
with our family? Is there a way to do this without having
to rely on other people to recognize your value, without
having to worry about whether your company will have a lay
off, or if your corporate executives are perpetuating an
accounting fraud and your retirement savings evaporates in
the blink of an eye?
The answer is, yes. There is absolutely a way. Ways that
I would say 99% of people are capable of achieving. But
first you have to decide. You have to really decide and
get determined that you are ready to take control of your
life and your financial independence. You need to believe
that the only thing preventing you from this is yourself
and then commit yourself to success. Once you make the
commitment that you and you alone CAN create financial
independence for yourself you will achieve it.
Isaac Newton's first law of motion is an object at rest
tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay
in motion with the same speed and in the same direction
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law of
motion also applies to human behavior. Once you have
become tired of having others dictate your worth, and made
the commitment to do something about it (an object in
motion) then you need to take action immediately. If you
wait, you become an object at rest and you tend to stay at
rest and nothing changes. Procrastination and fear will
cripple you. Take action.
You are probably asking yourself how you should take
action. There are a lot of things you can do. Here is my
story and what I did. I spent years and years hating the
fact that I followed the corporate outline. Deep down I
believed that I needed to build something for myself and be
my own boss. I researched different programs. I first
looked into real estate investing and although I believe
it's a great way to build wealth, ultimately fear got the
best of me. I came to the conclusion that for me, those
"no money down" programs really did not fit my personality.
I was concerned that I would end up holding a mortgage on
a property that I couldn't rent or resell, and that the
risk was too great. It turns out that may have been the
right decision for me based upon the sub prime market
implosion.
However, I did not give up. I made a list of my skills,
amount of time and money I could invest part-time building
a business while I maintained my corporate job. I had made
the commitment to change and stayed as an object in motion.
I continued to research and read. Ultimately I came to
the conclusion that the fastest, least expensive, and least
time consuming way to begin the path of financial freedom
was through internet marketing.
Internet marketing allows me to get in at low investment
entry point, provides multiple business lines in which you
can actually make money so you are not reliant on just one
product or service, did not require that I buy any
inventory or have my own product, and providing so many
different methods of marketing that in my estimation the
only thing that would prevent success is lack of
commitment, patience and perseverance.
So, like the title of this article I believe everyone has
the skill set to be your own boss and I believe that
internet marketing is the vehicle to do just that.
However, it's not for everyone. It's only for people who
are tired of not being in control of your earnings, wealth
and financial independence and have made the commitment to
change. It's only for people who will be patient. It's
for people patient enough to take the time to work at this
business. People willing to study and to build a long term
business by being smart and tactical in their approach will
be successful. You may not be an overnight success but I
submit there is no such thing in ANY line of business or
ANYTHING of any value in life. Internet marketing is only
for people with perseverance. It's for people who have
made up their mind to be successful, who understand that
failure is not an option and that in the end, they will
succeed.
By spending the time to read this article deep down I'm
sure you have already made the commitment to change and
take control. Now all you need to do is follow Newton's
law of motion and stay in motion. I wish you success and
financial independence.
