What Does Financial Independence Mean To You?

Simon talks about the definition of financial independence, and discusses what it should mean to you, and why you may be closer to it than you may think. KEY TAKEAWAYS Financial independence is the art of creating an alternative income that means you don't have to work for a living. This means you're not dependant on someone else in order to pay the bills. The first step towards independence is to make a conscious decision that financial independence is what you really want in life. A problem that some have is that they set their monthly income targets a little too high. Start with what you actually need in order to cover your living costs and work up from there. To accelerate your results, you should always invest in yourself. Investing in your development is the most important investment you can make. BEST MOMENTS 'There is no excuse for not becoming financially independent if that is what you want' 'It's very easy to allow distractions in life to get in our way' 'It gives you the choice and freedom so that you can make the decisions you want' 'If you treat your investing like a hobby, then it'll cost you like a hobby' VALUABLE RESOURCES Property Magic: How to Buy Property Using Other People's Time, Money and Experience by Simon Zutshi Find out about the Global PIN Meetings at www.globalpinmeeting.com To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20). iphone:  http://bit.ly/pinAPP1 Android https://bit.ly/pinAPP2 Register at Mindset For Property at - www.mindsetforproperty.co.uk  ABOUT THE HOST Simon Zutshi, experienced investor, successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, is widely recognised as one of the top wealth creation strategists in the UK.
