Cut Yourself Some Slack
You’re working hard to reach your wealth creation goals. You’re excited about the possibilities, and you’re intently focused on finally reaching those goals and achieving real, lasting wealth. You have eliminated distractions, made your wealth appointments, kept them, and made great progress. Every progressive step that you’ve made has motivated you to take another. Now, it’s time to take a bit of a break and cut yourself some slack.
Intense Intent
If you don’t take care what can happen next is something almost as bad as the limited life freedom you had prior to wealth creation. This is the point where you risk becoming so intently focused on your success that you risk losing sight of why you started in the first place. Sometimes, your focus becomes so intense and your dedication so strong that you forget that the purpose of wealth creation is to build a better, freer, more enjoyable life. But if you’re not careful you can wind up working so hard to build wealth that your freer lifestyle may become all consuming.
If you are essentially working from home or working your wealth and investments from home or on your own hours and schedule, or even outside the home but with you in control, it is easy to fall into a pattern where you spend more and more hours in your work and wealth creation and actually end up with less leisure and life time. And that’s not the point of creating wealth. You are working to build a lifestyle and sustainable income stream that frees your time for you and yours. Sure, your work conditions may have improved dramatically if you are working from home and abroad, but at the end of the day it is still work, and it should not be taking you away from your family and the freer lifestyle you’ve been working to build.
Obviously there are times in your wealth creation journey where you need to spend more time and effort than at other times. But throughout that journey you need to remain focused on your purpose and goals, and take the time to stop and allow yourself tastes of that freedom.
