The truth is, the ‘truth’ that you are cultured to believe when it comes to the idea of being successful isn’t the real deal anymore- most probably it isn’t really even at the first place. With the industry wildly changing and the economy on its peak of vulnerability, the belief that the only way to make it into the financial freedom that everyone aspires to, but rarely everyone is truly in pursuit of, it should be an obvious idea that expecting your life to get all the way better fully dependent on your 9-5 workweek is somehow… absurd.
Because if it is, then why a lot of people end up unsatisfied all throughout their working years- why do a lot of people keep on yearning for more? Why do they feel like they are obliged to do what they do no really want in the first place just in order to comply with the zeros in the monthly bills? Utmost important, why do most of working individuals once in a while realize that they seem to be going nowhere and everything causes them to feel that their fate are like ‘enclosed’ in a cycle?
It is because these people- which with a very high possibility you might also be belonging unto, is trapped in what we pertain as to be the “rat race”- and the situations that had been stated above are the perfect examples of the symptoms that this unworthy working ‘journey’ almost everyone is blindly exhausting themselves with.
Now, the question is, how do we get out of here- of this “rat race” we are trapped with?
1. Acknowledge the ‘Real’ Face of the Reality
In the process of getting out on something, the very primary thing that you should be concerned with is actually recognizing “what is catching in you in entrapment’ and “why is it important for you to escape what ensnares you”. Because you see, you can never teach someone to actually find his way out of even the most ridiculous cycle existent if he won’t recognize that he is actually caught in a trap at the first place.
That means if you’re choosing to be contented on paycheck-to-paycheck living and you will keep on believing that you would be satisfied if you would just have ‘a little bit more- then escaping out of the rat race will never be for you.
On the other side, if you know in yourself that you deserve more and you know what kind of success you are really entitled with- then keep reading further, we’ve got the essential steps exclusively prepared just for you.
2. Pay Yourself First
Living in temperance basically is the idea when we say “Pay Yourself First”. Temperance then is the act of setting aside what you want in order to give way to the pursuance of what you really need.
Technically, that includes cutting back unnecessary expenses and living with the lowest possible reasonable budget- discipline and practicality at its most. For you to be able to determine what are those ‘unnecessary’ expenses that you are already indulging yourself with, you can simply look back at how your last month’s paycheck had been consumed. From that, you can already find what are the expenses that matter from those that do not. After finding out the unimportant expenditures you usually have, you can use this in the creation of the budget you will be having for the next month.
What goes after all those preparations, then?
Strictly adhere to it.
Because if you’ll not take this seriously, do you think the success that you are aspiring all your heart for would take you seriously, then?
3. Discover a Feasible Passive Source of Income
As far as we’ve gone, it must be already clear to you that climbing up on the corporate ladder, isn’t all the option that you have when talking about your journey to success- because that’s the thing for the normal, and millionaires and individuals on Forbes’ list aren’t the ‘normal’ ones. They’re actually the daring and ridiculous ones, those people who have believed for what most have chosen to just bat an eye on.
Technically, the challenge of being courageous stated above directs to nothing else but to the point of jumping in into the field of self-employment or business as you may prefer to call it.
But always keep this in mind that in taking risks, you should take only the calculated ones. That by example can be shown through going for part-time self-employment or part-time business first before fully jumping into it. Falling down, failing, and facing rejections are normal occurrences, but of course, you can lessen the happening and the actual impact of these things by being careful and systematic at the same time- and that is what taking ‘calculated risks’ simply means.
4. Manage Not Just Your Time But Also Your Habits and Who You Actually Are
Since you are now aspiring for more because you are choosing not to settle for less, then you might as well as acknowledge and accept the fact that you now need to be more disciplined and wiser in spending not only your time, but also your efforts, your resources, and who you actually are.
By that., you should learn to practice the art of prioritization by knowing which would call for the need to sacrifice and what are the distractions and less important things that should be put into elimination.
After sacrificing these things, you should as well as learn how to utilize what you have towards resulting in the maximal mode of results, through using the least of possible resources that can be ever used.
So after your 9-5 schedule, what’s left to do, then? Decide.
5. Expansion Before Expenses
One of the mistakes that most of the first-timers usually stumble upon is being tricked by the deception that they can actually ‘spend’ what they have earned for that ‘part-time’ work that they have- because that is just simply how they deserve it.
No, that’s not how you should supposedly use what you have earned. Proper allotment- expansion before expenses. This basically means that one should first be focused on ‘reinvesting’ what they have back into the business rather than choosing to actually spend it for some unnecessary luxuries. Because if you wanna go full-time on your own terms- if you really wanna be free from the rat race, that’s the process you must undergo with.
