3 Steps For Enjoying The Journey To Wealth…Even If You’re Broke

Here’s a statement I get a lot, something to this effect:

“I want to get out of debt and create passive income so I can put 100% of my focus on my passions and interests. I have lots of things in my life that I want to do and accomplish.”

Do you know what the problem is here? I call it “means-to-an-end” living.

You can focus on your passions or interests, and the other things you want to do in life without being fully financially free and rich. If you wait to be rich before you do this, you might wait your whole life. You’ll be too old to do them by then.

Don’t wait. Do this stuff! You don’t have to be perfectly, financially free to do what you love to do. Do it in the way you can do it right now. Enjoy it in the way you can enjoy it right now.

If there’s a secret to balancing your life, that’s it! You MAKE time to follow your passions – two days a week – two to three hours a day.

It’s not going to be perfect, but most people do “means-to-an-end” living. “I’m going to work 30 years at a job or business I hate so that one day I can do what I want.”

I’m sorry…but WHAT?!

Who’s going to do that? Well, apparently, everybody does it because people are trained to do that. What a horrible life. What a horrible way to live.

Come on. Get with it!

This is 2015, not 1929. You can do what you want to do in your life. Start doing it. There’s no reason in saying, “I’m going to do something I hate so I can do something I love.” Forget that! That’s not good! Do what you love to do. Do it now. Don’t wait for anything!

You may not be able to do it perfectly. You may not be able to do it in just the exact style you want to do it in, but it’s a start.

Here’s An Exercise For You To Get Started

1. Make a list of five things you’ve always wanted to do but make up reasons why you can’t, shouldn’t, or would never do. Not just five things you think would be “neat.” I mean things that make you feel like, “Yeah, that’d be cool!” … things that make you smile and feel good when you imagine doing them.

2. Then write down those reasons you haven’t done the things you’ve always said you wanted to do. Write them down and then read them back to yourself ALOUD. Are those reasons and excuses as ridiculous as, deep down, you know them to be? If you decide to be a professional athlete but you’re in your mid-life … it’s not impossible, but perhaps maybe that’s good reason not to pursue that idea. But if your reason for not starting a business because you fear how that will impact your family life and time … well, that’s just fear and outdated blueprints holding you back.

Then for every reason “why you can’t,” come up with at least one reason why you can pursue what you want.

3. Pick three of those wants (or maybe all five) and start doing them! Start learning what you need to learn. Do some research. Talk to people who are doing what you want and are really good at it! Get coaching or take a course.

One of those wants is going to be your Big Kahuna, the one thing you’ll focus most of your waking time on because you’re passionate about it and it’s going to make you your main money, but for your own sanity’s sake, have a couple or a few core interests that give you reasons to look forward to doing stuff. That’s the way to live!

One of the reasons to get rich is to be happy, but if on the journey to wealth you’re not happy, what’s the use, my friend? Is it so you can roll over and die or have five years to enjoy it? Are you kidding me?

I went through that myself. That’s why I know it’s not the way to go. Start living as much of your dream life as you can right now.
