What It Takes To Be Successful In Todays Financial World

'The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure" said Sven Goran Eriksson. Thinking about doing something about your financial situation does you no good, it is like sitting in a rocking chair; It gives you something to do, but you never get anywhere. Financial freedom comes to those who want it the most, they strive for it, they are determined to live for themselves, to make their own money and to live their lives the way they deserve.

This article won't talk about "how to get rich in 5 days" or "how to invest your money in stocks and make $7K every 3 days"...no. Financial freedom comes with a price, time or money. If you are willing to do the work, to put in the hours to make it happen, then you will undoubtedly succeed. "Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be" - George Sheehan.

Some of the most successful people in world have filed for bankruptcy once or twice, but that didn't stop them. Steadfast, that word would describe a great deal of people who didn't give up when the going got though, real tough. Financial freedom can be achieved by knowing what you want and then going for it, period. You want to quit your job? You want to make more money? Don't make enough money? You could always just lie down and kill-over if you decide the path to success is to difficult to follow.

Let's say you are working for company X and you think its an ok job, but you want more money. One day you realize that you don't get paid enough for what you do, you think you are worth more than X dollars an hour. So, you ask for a raise, but you don't get it. Now you really feel like quitting, and getting a new job, one that pays you better. Or you could just quit altogether and work for yourself and cut out the middle man, write your own checks, make your own hours...that sort of thing. This takes guts, conviction, not just anybody gets up and quits their steady job for something that has a high rate of failure, like starting their own business.

The only piece of advice that anyone can ever take with them is this, if you want to start your own business, make more money, have financial freedom...then you need to work on the way you think first. There is no point in starting a business if you are a negative thinker, always looking at what can go wrong, because sometimes the people who this MAKE things go wrong to prove themselves right. Change the way you think about work, don't think of it as something you HAVE to do, but something that makes you money and makes you happy.

If you enjoy what you do, then money and financial freedom will come as a by-product. If you don't like what you do, then change it, you are never going to be successful or make money with something you hate doing. Change is good, learn to make it work FOR you.
