“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Chasing your financial
dreams sometimes feels like a marathon, when all that you yearn is a 100 meters
dash to the finish line. You know you are not a spectator in the game of life;
you are a participant from day one. And from day one, you have been struggling
to make ends meet. Any winning break right now would be a perfect opportunity
to pump your fist and say, “Yeah!”
For the most
part, your marathon is not against other people; it is against your doubts,
your fears, the state you are in and the stories you tell yourself. That may
not be you, right? It’s just how you can save and invest when you are living from
paycheck to paycheck and can’t find the extra hours to pick up a part-time
hustle. Your expenses and debt are sprinting much faster than your income, and
you just can’t seem to put away any savings, much less building wealth.
Feeling overwhelmed,
you say to yourself, “one day, I will start saving and investing when the
time is right or when my circumstance changes.” And deep down inside, you
know this is not where you need to be financially and not what you dream to be
doing with your life.
For years, I
was running down this painful path of living from paycheck to paycheck before
learning how to control my expenses, which is allowing me to increase my 401K
contribution each year. I followed the strategies and principles of people who had
gone down this path before, which it turned their lives around and they shared
their stories and principles with the world. For example, I shopped and
negotiated for better insurance deals on my home and cars, reduced my heating
and other utility bills and changed my cable TV to streaming TV services. So,
after three years of marriage, my wife and I were finally able to afford to go
on our dream honeymoon cruise last December to the Caribbean. Imagine that!
What is stopping you or standing in your way from living your dreams?
Listen, the work is behind the scenes. The competition is the easy part.”
– Usain Bolt
World record
sprinter, Usain Bolt, said the real work for his success on the track is behind
the scenes. Let that sink in for a minute and then ask yourself if you are
doing the real work to be successful.
Below, you
will find 7 basic financial principles that have been transforming my life over
the years. I adopted these principles from the book “The Richest Man in Babylon.”
Pay yourself first:
Start your
saving with at least 10% of your income. If you can save more, that is even
better. If you are not at the place right now, start with 3% and work your way
up.
Control your expenses:
This requires
careful budgeting for surplus. Plan to live on 90% or less. There are many ways
to reduce your expenses and I will share some links with you in the bonus
section.
Make your money multiply:
Your money
should be making more money for you while you sleep. So, take full advantage of
compounding your money in safe, steady investments such as 401K and Roth IRA.
Guard your investments from loss:
There are many get-rich-schemes out there; some offer big returns in a short period of time. It is extremely important that you only invest in areas where you have experience or do business with people who are highly experienced in these areas.
Make of your home a profitable investment:
There are many
ways to look at this. Some experts believe you should purchase the house you
live in so you are not wasting your money on rent. You can also rent a section
of your house, and if you have a large enough land, you can grow fresh
vegetables for market.
Insure for a future income:
No one knows
what the future holds. Having safe, realistic insurance, asset allocation and
diversification programs safeguard your investments for the future.
Increase your ability to earn:
In today’s
world, you find yourself constantly learning to use new technology. With this
comes opportunities to increase your abilities to earn. Set aside time each
week to learn a high income skill to increase your earning. In the bonus
section, I will share with you an inexpensive way to acquire these skills.
If a strategy does not work for your situation, don’t throw up your hands and say you have tried everything. Try another strategy and keep grinding. Now with massive action, the success principles in this video will get you unstuck and moving towards your dreams.

These online lessons are not expensive and the best part
about it is you can go at your own pace. Be sure to check out any reviews on
