10 things you must give up for financial freedom

Stay away from luxury goods

When we are poor, having luxury goods is the most deadly choice. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" mentioned that buying luxury goods when you are young is a liability, unless the luxury goods you buy have the attributes of increasing value and being easily circulated. The financial burden of buying luxury goods prevents us from spending our money wisely, which makes us farther and farther away from becoming rich.

Friends with Negative Energy

What my parents often said when I was a child is that people are poor but have ambitions. Relatively speaking, what is more terrifying than poverty is that they have negative energy every day. People who are full of enthusiasm and blame society for all the unsatisfactory conditions in their lives. If you make friends with such people, you will gradually become full of negative energy and lose your fighting spirit. When you have such friends around you, stay away from them as soon as possible. Don't make excuses for your failures.

Don’t be depressed. Being decadent all the time only proves that you have not grown up. Stay away from people who affect your mood, because they can give you nothing but trouble.

Meaningless screen time

For people in the 21st century, electronic products may be products that accompany us throughout our lives. What wakes me up every morning is not a dream, but the alarm clock at 5:30 every day. The electronic products around us consume our time every day, but for most people, this time will not make us rich, except for those professional e-sports players.

Anything that makes us grow is anti-human. So reduce your screen time and only keep the learning and social time that brings value. The reason why we work hard day and night is so that in the days to come, wherever we look, we will see all the people and things we like.

Lazy habits

The difference between ordinary people and successful people may be that the alarm clock rings an hour later than others every day. In the short term, one or two hours a day is not a big deal. Yes, but when we extend the time span, you will find that the power of self-discipline is as amazing as compound interest. Laziness is your biggest enemy on the road to awesomeness.

Teacher Li Xiaolai wrote in "Friends of Time" that most of his works were completed during the May 11th Spring Festival holidays. While we were eating and drinking, some of us had finished arranging and sorting out our work plans for the year.

You see other people’s current financial prosperity and happy families, but you don’t know how much mental and financial suffering they have suffered. There is no perfect life, only firm beliefs and courageous actions.

If you are not particularly lucky, please work hard first. Don’t fail because of laziness and pretentiously attribute the reason to your own misfortune.

All efforts will not be completely in vain. No matter how much time and energy you put in, you are accumulating for the future. Nothing in the world is fair, but time is the fairest. No matter you are lazy or hardworking, time will give the result.

Complaining mentality

There was once a very famous joke that most people have heard, that is, how I wish my father was a rich man. When he asked his father, his answer was, I always had this dream before I was 18 years old. Some people will blame the government's inaction for their lack of success, or even that their original family is too poor! If you want to take the first step out of poverty, the most important thing is to stop complaining and learn to take responsibility.

Don’t always complain, life will not get better because of complaining. There is nothing to complain about. Everything you are experiencing now is paying for your past.

Fear of failure

Failure is a part of life and the normal state of life. There are no people in this world who do not fail. Many things we may know will end in failure. At this time, instead of worrying about failure every day, why not face this matter bravely and prepare in advance? Before starting a business, you must do more business research, study more seniors in the same industry, and go deep into the industry to learn entrepreneurial knowledge , establish your own investment system to reduce investment risks.

Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you still believe this sentence; the real failure is not that you fail to accomplish something, but that you are willing to fail; failed people always say that they tried their best, but Little did he know that successful people work hard.

Impatient personality

The success of any ordinary person is not brought by strong winds. If you don’t have a mine at home, you must be down-to-earth and climb step by step. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and Mount Taishan wasn't built in a day.

Put down your impetuousness, your laziness, your three-minute enthusiasm, empty your mind that can’t resist temptation, calm down and do your thing well, young man, enough of the waste, it’s time to work hard.

Deep self-doubt

Self-doubt and fearfulness are the same type of people. What hinders your action is often not unknown difficulties, but your redundant thoughts. It’s because you think you can’t succeed, that you can’t stand out and become rich. Stop this thought immediately. If you want to succeed and become rich, you must first have the mentality to believe in yourself. Psychology has done statistics to build a group. , People who call each other boss and boss in the group every day are far better than those ordinary people.

Underestimating the power of reading

Really smart people know that reading is the most cost-effective way to learn. Mr. Charlie Munger still maintains the habit of reading every day in his 90s. Relying on school education is never enough. If you want to become rich, you must read more books that can inspire your financial intelligence, learn how successful people succeed, and then find your own unique path.

Do things when you are awake, read when you are confused, sleep when you are angry, and think when you are alone; be a happy person, read, travel, work hard, care about your body and mood, and become the best version of yourself.

Step-by-step lifestyle

Most wealthy people’s wealth comes from difficult and risky ways. Success will never appear within your comfort zone. In this world There is no such thing as high position and low responsibility. If you want to live better than others, then practice hard and improve while others are relaxing and enjoying!

Every day is a new beginning and an opportunity to change the future. Doing things you haven't done before is called growth, doing things you don't want to do is called change, and doing things you don't dare to do is called breakthroughs.
