A lot of people wander into debt but very few ever wander out of it. You have to be intentional about it. To become financially free is simple but it is not easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it. There is a price to be paid.
The willingness to pay the price is what separates winners from losers. The starting point of all achievement is desire. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved. How would you achieve yours when you are financially strapped down by debt?
This book will help you make the shift FROM POVERTY thinking, speaking, or behaviour TO ABUNDANCE and from BONDAGE to FREEDOM.
It is a known fact that financial freedom is a choice; it does not just come by chance and the responsibility for it is yours. If you are ready to pay the price, the rewards can be yours too.
Apart from making the decision to be financially independent and doggedly sticking with it, a change in personality in the way you think, see yourself, and speak about your situation are the basic prices all of us must pay in order to gain the prize of Financial Freedom.
This is a no-nonsense, kick-you-in-the-backside, motivational book from a Christian perspective.
As long as we are alive, we are all players in the game of life whether we know it or not. This reminds me of Christopher McDougall’s saying “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up and it knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up in Africa and it knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”
This book you are holding is written with you, as an individual, in mind. The whole world may be heading in one direction but since you are a unique creation of God, should you be heading the same way without a reason?
A young couple on holiday walked past a house where an elderly man and his wife were lounging on their porch. Lying in between them was their dog, which was moaning and groaning. This scenario was repeated over several days each time the younger couple passed this family. These curious, animal-loving, holidaymakers decided that if the same thing happened again the following day, they would ask the family about the dog in distress.
Sure enough the next day, it was the same scene exactly when they walked past the house. So they stopped and asked the elderly couple, “What is wrong with your dog?”
The elderly lady replied, “There is nothing wrong with him; he is just lying on a board that has a nail sticking up.” The tourists then asked why the dog wouldn't just get up and lie somewhere else. They were told, “The nail bothers him enough to make him moan and groan, but it’s not hurting him badly enough to make him get up and move”.
Would you agree with me that this is how some of us live our lives? People just keep complaining about the things they don't like - jobs, relationships, finances, their whole lives ... without getting up and doing something about them.
