Strategy to Financial Freedom

The ultimate goal of of the individuals in the corporate rat race is financial freedom. Freedom to do what your hearts desire without worrying about the monthly bills or debt that kept us working day in and day out. Freedom to enjoy your time with your family and freedom to travel as often as you like. It may seems like a dream, but it is achieveable. Below are some strategies that can be used for us to obtain financial freedom.

1. Start a side business as soon as possible.

2. Buy at least one property.
Peter Lynch once stated in his book One Up on Wall Street "Before you do invest anything in stocks, you ought to consider buying a house, since a house, after all, is the one good investment that almost everyone manages to make. I'm sure there are exceptions, such as houses built over sinkholes and houses in fancy neighbourhood that takes a dive, but in 99 cases out of 100, a house will be a money-maker."

3. Knowledge is everything.
To win a war, you must know the enemy inside out. To win a game, you must know the rules of the game inside out. To win the game of life, you must know the rules that govern our everday life. By reading books, and I mean real books, not newspaper, magazines and etc. you will gain the advantage of shortcutting your life experience by learning other people's experience who have gone through life before us. By knowing and learning other people's success and mistakes, we can make the right judgement beforehand and therefore leaping ahead successfully.

Knowing the strategies to financial freedom only gives you potential power. You can only be on the road to financial freedom and achieve it when you put knowledge to action. So, to achieve financial freedom, TAKE ACTION !

How to Create Charming Personalities

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words

Watch your words, for they become actions

Watch your actions, for they become habits

Watch your habits, for they become character

Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny"

Building a life also means building the relationship with the people around you. Some says that if we have charming personalities, we tend to attract people towards us. But how do we develop charming personalities? As an analogy, if we want to enhance and upgrade our car, just merely waxing and polishing the body would not do anything. But in order to upgrade the performance of the car, we must go straight to the source and that is the engine of the car. The same goes with human beings. By dressing up properly or putting a mask of charm is not sufficient enough. We must work on the source of our personality. We must work on our mind and soul and upgrade it so that we really have positive energy surrounding us. People will notice this aura of positivity and in return will create a charming personality within us.

Creating and Uncreating Habits

"The beginning of a habit is like an invisible thread, but every time we repeat the act we strengthen the strand, add to it another filament, until it becomes a great cable and binds us irrevocably, thought and act." - Orison Swett Marden

Habits are a part of human nature. Like it or not, humans are a habitual creature. We tend to create our own habits consciously and unconsciously. The only way to master our life is to learn about our habits and how it is created. Are we drawn into negative habits or do we use that habits to create positive development in our lives. If you are addicted to smoking, you will know that it is hard to break from the smoking habit without a very strong motivation or the desire to quit. But, you must realise that a habit is a result of repetitive action from our side that automatically gets embedded into our subconscious mind. Added with the nicotine, it has made our body not able to resist the temptation of a cigarette both mentally and physically. But, habits can be created and also uncreated. Learn to uncreate bad habits but replacing and associate it with other habits that have the same force or factors but wth more positive effect. People will automatically quit smoking if they have install other habits that are equally strong. Learn to know your mind so that you can control it and create the life that you wanted it to be.
