6. Strengthen Your Relationships: Your Financial Independence is Dependent on Your Connections With Others

Many people think of day when they will be financially independent as "freedom day." And, while financial independence is a worthwhile goal, it does not mean that you are free of your dependence on other people. As a matter of fact, in order to create financial independence, you just might need a lot more people in your life than you have right now.

7. Develop Your Resilience Muscle: Bounce Back From Setbacks

The truth is that you will have setbacks along way. This is just inevitable. The sooner you accept that, better. Many of these setbacks will take form of circumstances that come up and block your way. If you look closely, you may find these setbacks are directly correlated with your innermost thoughts, fears, and limiting beliefs. This is because we create what we focus on including those things we don’t want.

Don’t get stopped by these bumps in road; learn from them. As you work through setbacks that come up, you will become person you need to be to live out your dreams.

8. Streamline Your Efforts; Align Your Natural Talents With Your Goal

Success comes easier and more quickly when you enhance your strengths and delegate in areas where you are weak. Your natural talents are those things you do so easily and naturally that you think they are no big deal. Many of my clients were overlooking their natural talents when they first came to me. They thought if it is this easy for them, it must be this easy for everyone. This is rarely case.

The key is to take your natural talents and abilities and strengthen them through education and experience. You are not born an expert at anything. It is something you develop.

9. Disarm That Sneaky Inner Saboteur

Even when we know what we need to do, we often don’t do it out of fear of experiencing emotions and other things that may come up as a result. Fear of failure and fear of success are two biggest internal fears that people often face. Most other fears such as fear of rejection fall underneath one of these major categories. As human beings, we will go to great lengths to avoid our fears. That is why so many ideas never get beyond being a great idea, or projects are started and never finished. It is easy to find reasons, excuses, other diversions or projects, create chaos, and sometimes to even create emergencies to avoid these negative feelings or outcomes.

One of most important things you can do is allow it to be okay to have these feelings. Then step back and notice what it is you do to get in your own way. When you have identified what you do, you can make a conscious decision to do it differently.

10. Shorten Your Learning Curve by Learning From The Best

You can learn from people who are barely getting by, from those who are doing fairly well or from those at top of heap. Talk to people who are already successful and find out how they did it. That’s what book, "I Can’t Believe I Get Paid To Do This!" is about. Its purpose is to provide success principles and philosophies from those who have excelled. They’ve already been down road and you can learn from their experience. Why reinvent wheel when someone else already did a great job of creating it?
