Happy 4th of July! What are you doing to celebrate? While you’re celebrating our independence, have you thought about what you can do to have financial independence?
Financial Independence
Imagine you are financially independent with enough money to maintain your lifestyle for the rest of your life. How would you live your life? Would you change anything?
Relationships with Money
It’s a question that is present for many of you. Unfortunately, some people are unaware that they have unhealthy relationships with money. They are afraid to peel back the layers and understand what’s really going on.
To get a better understanding, you must confront what is happening in your financial life. Maybe it’s guilt for wanting more money, or mismanaging investments. Perhaps you have less-than-impressive plans to get wealthy or you don’t want to make money a central focus in your life because you feel other things are important.
Whatever your relationship is, you must give it attention, spend time, and untangle this complicated connection.
You are going to have to be willing to change something, or a lot of things, to transform your financial relationship.
Change is hard, but you don’t have to do it on your own. A coach or a mentor can help.
Main Takeaway
The biggest idea is that if you want your money life to change and move towards financial independence, you are going to have to do things that you’ve never done before. You are going to have to get comfortable with getting uncomfortable. This is important for financial independence.
When you’re doing the work and you get a knot in your stomach or your knees start to knock, that’s when you’re uncomfortable. That’s when the real work happens. That’s a beautiful feeling – believe it or not!
So while you’re spending time with friends and family over the 4th of July, jumping in the pool, watching the fireworks display, or catching some backside waves at the local break, think about what you can do to improve your relationship with money.
Financial independence is achievable. I work with clients every day as they make progress towards independence.
