Escape the Rat Race

I. Know yourself.

Know yourself; this is your start point, your first step in the long journey of your successful life. What are your goals?

“Desire is the starting point of all achievements.”

What do you want from this life? Where do you want to be in the next ten years? What do you want to be remembered for after you bow your head to death?

II. Live within your means.

As income increases, your expenditures go up as well. You think that your paycheck will always be there. And so it is okay to spend on trips, luxurious meals, buy a new wardrobe and the like day in and day out. Remember that the amount of income that you receive does not define your being rich or poor.

It does not matter how much you earn, what matters is how you have a good money management habit.

“Managing money doesn’t restrict freedom. It PROMOTES freedom.”

III. Adopt the mindset of a winner.

Mediocre employees tend to complain endlessly. Are you most likely saying “I am not paid enough”, “My employer is unfair” or “I will only give based on what I get.” These are the attitude of a loser.

Instead of complaining, you go out of your way to make things happen, despite present limitations. By adopting this mindset, you will most likely climb the ladder of success more quickly than anyone else in the workplace

“Your Income Can Grow Only To The Extent You Do”. – T. Harv Eker

IV. Become financially literate.

“Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.” -Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki says that formal schools teach students how to work in a company. They do not teach them to own their company. Financial literacy is the ability to think of profitable ways to increase your financial status in life. It educates you to think of ways money will work for you

"Getting rich begins with the right mindset, the right words and the right plan." – Robert Kiyosaki

Remember knowing is not enough!

Only understanding with Action to make it happen can make the difference!

"What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing." - Aristotle
