How To Get Constantly Motivated In Achieving Financial Freedom

Have you ever experienced the sudden surge of motivation to become free financially after attending those wealth building coaching, one of those like Robert Kiyosaki’s? You started by thinking differently, you shared your opinion with friends, tried taking actions, but only to lose steam after a few months, or weeks when things don’t turn your way? This happens all the time to us, which is very natural because we as human being get bored easily if things don’t turn exciting. For example, have you ever feel so much urge to do so many things in life but after having a long relaxing vacation, the urge has became a small echo of voice inside you that hardly making any impact? You just went on with your usual life, and you don’t want to think about it any more because it makes you feel like a loser of not taking any actions. You thought you were doing just fine with you normal life.

If that happened to you before and now you think you should have continued the effort to achieve your dream, you should do something this time.

 
1. Momentum Is The Strength. If you are determined to achieve financial freedom, you need to keep doing thing to maintain the momentum. Even though not all things you do have tangible contribution to your future success but it is worth doing something because it keeps you from losing the momentum. The wealth building program gets you started with excitement, but in order for you to be motivated constantly you need constant reminder, in this case usually they will send out free newsletter about their program or update about someone else success story. Read through this news letters you will find your momentum. Do something a little at a time, to keep your momentum going.
2. Get a Support Group. One of the benefits in joining coaching program is getting to know others who have the same interests as you. You have probably made one or two friends during the sessions. Organize a get together once every two weeks to update each other. If someone in your support group has taken big steps, it will probably stimulate you to do the same as well.
3. What Drive Your Will? Before we talk about financial freedom, it is very important for us to identify the drive behind our motive. The drive to achieve financial freedom. Drive is the desire; it is the measure of how much you want something. Without a strong drive or desire, even with a nicely written action plan, you will not have the source of energy to see it last.  A rocket with weak propulsion system will end up falling back to earth, crash and burn. Your drive and desire is the energy. Start identifying your source of energy now, list out as many as you can think of.I want to achieve financial freedom, because:           
   1. ________
   2. ________
   3. ________
   4. ________
   5. ________

   Example: I want to achieve financial freedom so I can do whatever I want with my time without anyone telling me what and when to do it. I want to achieve financial freedom so I have free time and resource to contribute back to the society. Or I want to achieve financial freedom so I can retire and live my dream at a much younger age. I want to achieve financial freedom because then i will have more time for my family. I can provide more quality life for my loved one. I can provide a better education for my children, etc. 

4. Make Announcement. One of the ways to remind yourself of your goal is to have someone else to remind you. By making announcement to friends and family, you are making a non-reversible commitment. Only when you are fully committed you will work hard towards the goal. Besides, friends will always tease you of your dream and ask you about progress thus making you wanting to achieve your goal even more! So start telling your friend and family about your big dream now.
5. Having Your Own Motivator to Sit Beside You. To attend a session of seminar is expensive, it can easily cost up to thousands. But it is not expensive to get an individual copy of a book, video or preferably audio program. Listen to the coaching program frequently to keep you motivated. A recommendation would be Robert Kiyosaki’s audio books. It is so good because he likes to emphasize his ideas so many times that it sticks to your brain for very long time. Besides, you can listen to it anytime and anywhere you want, be it during office hour or when you are driving home. 
6. Write an Action Plan and To-Do List. An action plan is a comprehensive written reminder and your self-made guidance towards achieving financial freedom. It defines the objectives, how-to, and steps you need to take in order to achieve the objectives. You can constantly review your progress against the action plan to find out how many you have done or left to do. Read about writing an action plan in my previous articles that consist of three parts: 1, 2, and 3.  



7. Set Your Dream House as Wall Paper. If you desire to buy something but you don’t have the money yet, such as a dream house. Take a photo of it and stick it to your wall or set it as desktop wall paper. So whenever you enter your bedroom or switch on your computer, you will be reminded of your financial goal. 
8. Improve Your Education. One of the many reasons why people fail in journey to become financially free is because they don’t possess the know-how. People who lose money in stock market, business going bankrupt, job is not going anywhere, etc. Start to get more education in whichever area you are in. If you want to start a business, you most probably need to know accounting, selling and people skill. If you want to be success in stock market, you need to know how to read and understand financial statements. If you want to be successful employee, learn how to add more value to your deliverables. 

If you have done at least two or more from those mentioned above, then you are mentally prepared. Remember, failure in anything you do is not the end of the game; it is failure to continue what you are doing or doing nothing at all, the real failure.
