Starting With Smaller Goals First And Work Your Way Up Until You Achieve Financial Freedom
While you need to have a lot of positive-thought and confidence in order to be self-motivated, there are a few things that you can do which will help you to achieve all three things. These steps are generally pretty easy to do - and since they're simple steps, they may seem a little less daunting at first than having to figure out how to be positive-thinking and confident right out of the blue. The first thing you should do is sit down and write down all of your major goals (including financial freedom). These should be your most important goals and dreams - essentially the few things that you would really consider to be your life goals. Make sure while you're writing this list that you actively think to yourself that these goals are entirely possible. Next, you should make a list of the benefits that you'll get if you achieve your goals, as well as the negative effects that could occur if you do not achieve your goals. Once you've done that, you'll know what your motivation is to be successful at achieving your goals. This is a good list to take out if you ever start feeling unmotivated - and if you think to yourself about it, you should be able to self motivate. The next thing you should do is to figure out what stands in your way. This is a good way to figure out what things are probably making you worry that you won't be as successful as you need to be. Once you have that list, you should try to think of a few small, short-term goals that will help you get over the obstacles that stand between you and your major life goals. Once you figure those out, you should make sure that you work toward those goals. Keep in mind, the short-term goals should actually be possible within a short-term period of time. While you do need to be self-motivated and positive-thinking, it is still important to make sure that you don't over-burden yourself. Finally, the best way to make sure that you'll be positive-thinking, and that you'll eventually succeed and achieving financial freedom and the rest of your goals is to keep working toward your small goals - and each time you achieve one, make sure to add another small goal to your list. If you work hard and are self-motivated, you're sure to achieve financial freedom! Stefanus Wahyudi has started financial freedom journey since his college years.

Your Money Or Your Life Have you stopped to realize that although you go to school to learn about important subjects, no one teaches you how to manage your money? Money is an essential part of life in our pursuit of happiness, yet very rarely will a parent sit down and tech their child how to handle their money. This is true in grade school, high school and worst college. So what happens? Many of us end up in an extremely large amount of debt. We can't seem to get it together even if we make more money. I found myself in this trap about 13 years ago. I had an okay job, a car, and an apartment. Nice I thought soon I would buy a house and live the "American dream". Wrong! I could never save enough to buy a house. I had plenty of credit cards, so many that I never had enough money due to many payments to put aside for my dream home. What was happening to my paychecks? Well, I was over extended in credit card debt for one. The buy now pay later syndrome was well embedded in my head. That mentality had to stop! Since, I wasn't terribly behind in my payments I was able to get some help from the creditors. I simply asked for a lower interest rate and/or the ability to skip a payment. After that call, I had to cut up and dispose of the cards. No! I didn't cancel my cards but I got rid of them just the same. Next I bought a tablet just for my budget information and bills. I also purchased a software program to keep track of my expenses. I think it is important to keep something manual that you can carry as well as a computer software tool. Next, as bills came in, I wrote them down with the name, address, phone number of the creditor, my total balance, interest rate, and minimum payment due, the due date, and if there were any annual fees acquired with the card. Review the card with the highest interest rate and pay more then the minimum due. Always ask if they can reduce your rate or seek the possibility of debt consolidation buy applying for a low interest rate loan or credit card. If you haven't cut up your credit cards do not get a consolidation loan. Because most likely once your payments are manageable you'll start using your cards again. Minimizing your spending is the key to financial freedom. Make sure to start a savings plan after you've gotten your debt under control. How Should I Create Passive Income?
