Part Three: Working....HARD!

PART THREE of the four part series that is exposing the common obstacles that come up while on the journey to Financial Freedom. Here is a summary if you have not yet read the blog and just joining us. My suggestion, go back a read them, I keep it pretty short and to the point! It’s worth it!

First Obstacle: You will have people try to take your dreams away. People will unfortunately and I think in some misplaced effort to protect you stomp all over your efforts, ideas and try to talk you out of what you are doing.

Second Obstacle: You will make some bad deals, meaning you will loose some money. It is inevitable. Swallow the bitter with the sweet, it is an unavoidable obstacle, but one you always learn A LOT from!

Third Obstacle: I believe that many of us have misconstrued that when we work for Passive, Ongoing or Permanent Income that it should be easy, or easier than what we are currently doing. Let me clear this up…

I worked HARDER for my freedom than I ever did at my traditional business or any job I ever had.

Freedom isn’t free.

Many choose the constant trod of daily prison over a short term “work your ASS off” for a few years to achieve freedom.

I have noticed that over the generations we as North Americans have become lazy. We forget what it took our ancestors to build the foundation of what we have today.

Many of you will have to work for your freedom when you are NOT working your 9 – 5 or your current business…WHICH MEANS that the time you USUALLY took to watch TV, play on the internet, help the kids, or take a nap will now have to be re-prioritized. . Meaning what you now feel is important may need to be moved down the list.

First thing you must do: Create NEW ground rules for the ‘after work’ time. If you have a family; a discussion with them on how things are going to look for the next few years while you work towards goal A, B and C. Be sure to ask them for support with stuff around the house etc...Communication is EVERYTHING!

Freedom will demand that you become more organized, diligent and productive with your time.

“Your Financial Freedom depends on what you do in your SPARE time”
-Dougism

And by “spare time”, we mean ANY time that is not spent putting a roof over your head and food on the table.

Many of you currently watch far too much TV, give it up! Many of you play Farmville on FB, not anymore! Many of you volunteer your time. If your goal is to be able to volunteer ALL your time, you may need to cut back a little now, so you can achieve that dream.

This means you will be working VERY, VERY hard. Most are unwilling to give up their small comforts now to have it all later. Statistics prove that! That is Short Term thinking! In order to acheive Freedom you must thing Long term...(another topic I will cover, it's the one that CHANGED MY LIFE!)

It also means you will have to learn how to do NEW things, make mistakes and be willing to do things you may not entirely enjoy in your "spare time" (this is another topic I will cover in another Blog)

Are you up to it?

The reward is greater than you can even imagine.
