If you are struggling with financial success, you may want to read on to see how this can all change for you. I struggled for years to just make ends meet, and now I have more money and assets than I ever thought possible. I did not win the lottery or receive an inheritance. I believe it all had to do with the way I was thinking about money and financial success. Please allow me to explain.
I was constantly looking for a new career or a new investment. I took many jobs I did not enjoy, just because they promised a good salary and the opportunity to advance in the near future. But I did not look forward to going to work each day. Finally I would actually dread getting out of bed in the morning, and soon after I would leave the job for one reason or another. This went on for twenty years. Each time I would return to the safety and comfort of work I had done in the past, but I felt terrible about my life and my self-esteem and confidence were at an all time low.
This also happened with my investments. I like the idea of investing in real estate and looked for small houses and apartment buildings where I could make improvements, rent them out, and then resell them for a profit within two or three years. I did make some money this way, but the tenants always had problems and situations that I became caught up in. Again, it was an unhappy life for me.
I found myself approaching the age of 50 three years ago. I had no savings, a meager retirement account, and owed more for my home than it was worth. I knew I had to make a change or the rest of my life would just pass me by. This is when I began to read and learn about success. I had not had the benefit of people around me who could guide me in this area, so I was learning everything for the first time. I was not sure this new way of thinking would make any difference in my own life, but I felt that I had nothing to lose. I completely changed my way of thinking, and within a few short months my life began to change drastically.
Within a year I had sold my house, moved into a brand new home in a beautiful city twenty miles away, quit my full time job, and began doing what I enjoyed. In my case that involved writing and working on the internet. I now make three times as much as I used to, work from home, and have been invited to tell my story in cities all over the country. Every day is an adventure, and I look forward to jumping out of bed each morning and starting my day. I am also involved with several local charities, and this has become a source of great joy in my life.
Financial freedom is now part of my life experience, and it can be this way for you as well. I encourage you to learn these simple ways of thinking and acting that can bring you the financial success you are looking for in your life.
