Working to Make the World a Better Place 2nd Quarter, 2012, Volume 1 Issue 1
Are these four statements true about you? I do not earn enough income to be financially secure. I have not accumulated enough money to be financially secure. I am not accumulating enough money to be financially secure. I do not have enough passive cash-flow to be financially secure. And have you given yourself (and your family) any of the following reasons for your failure to achieve financial security? I don’t have the time. My boss won’t pay me enough. I don’t have the knowledge or education. I don’t have the skills. Nobody wants to hire me. (I’m not marketable, too young, too old, too short, etc) I can’t see how I could do it other than win the lottery. I don’t have wealthy relatives who will leave me an inheritance. But, if you were really honest wouldn’t the real reasons be more like... I’m unwilling to try. I’m unwilling to approach my personal and professional network. I’m unwilling to work hard. I tried and gave up after setbacks. I’m unwilling to change my beliefs about the way money is accumulated. Why We Need a Plan “B” We value financial security! For most of us this is very important and yet not achieved. We do not have enough financial security to ensure the lifestyle and Quality of Life that we want now and into the foreseeable future. Basically, our governments, educational institutions and other such organisations have conditioned us to work towards only one source of income, namely “the job”. There is nothing wrong with this, however, it is limited income and it engenders a limited thinking mentality. We need to actively look at creating other or additional sources of income that will provide options and encourage unlimited thinking and an unlimited belief in what can be done in life. What are the steps you could take today to start moving towards financial security? a. Would you be willing to become a free member of HomePage Pays? b. Would you be willing to join Smart Media as a paid member? c. Would you be willing to give away free HPP memberships to your personal and social network? d. Would you be willing to put in 4 hours/week on your own Smart Media business?
