7 Keys To Financial Freedom

of the major goals you and I have in life is
financial independence and freedom. Achieving
financial freedom is getting to the point where we
don’t have to worry about money anymore. Money
is important for effective living; nothing can take
the place of money in the area in which money
works. In this series, 7 Keys to Financial Freedom,
Sam Adeyemi shares some practical tips you can
start to apply IMMEDIATELY to negotiate your way
into financial prosperity.
KEY 1: BELIEVE YOU ARE WEALTHY!
A.True wealth actually starts from the inside out.
It is first within then without. You cannot prosper
beyond the level of development that has taken
place inside of you. You become wealthy when you
believe that you have the ability to become
wealthy. All things are possible to him that
believes. What you believe determines what you
do. You will always take actions that will turn your
belief into reality.
To acquire the money desired, you must believe
that you have the God-given ability to make
money. When you believe that you can make
money, you will begin to do the things that will
attract money, rather than give excuses.
B. Believe there is no shortage of money around
you.
If you believe that money is in short supply, you
must correct that impression immediately. God
created everything in abundance, if there is any
shortage it is artificial. Break free from the ‘not
enough’ mentality; develop the ‘more than enough’
mentality. You have all that you need. Get rid of
scarcity mentality; develop abundance mentality.
Brian Tracy, inspirational speaker and author says
“we live in an abundant universe in which there is
sufficient money for all who really want it and are
willing to obey the laws governing its acquisition.”
There is no real shortage; plenty of money is
available to you.
C. You deserve to be rich
Settle it once and for all; God wants you to prosper
financially. You deserve to be financially blessed
as much as anybody else. Those who are rich
around you are not necessarily men and women of
extraordinary intelligence; they are essentially just
like you. Since God has done it for them, He will
do it for you also.
D. Develop a correct mindset about money
To achieve financial freedom, you must develop a
correct mindset about money. Some say that the
bible says “money is the root of all evil”. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The bible actually
says that the love of money is the root of all evil.
Actually, money does many good things; it puts
food on our table, clothes on our back, roofs over
our head and much more.
Once again, let this sink deep into your heart,
money is not the root of all evil, in my estimation,
the lack of money is the root of most evils.
E. Believe not that all rich people are evil
Do not make the mistake of believing that those
who have a lot of money are evil and nasty. As
long as you believe that, you will repel money
especially if you believe that you are a good
person. Celebrate those who have made their
money legitimately. Their breakthrough is a
confirmation that your own is on the way.
F. Decide to be wealthy!
The next thing you must do is to decide to
become wealthy. A Nigerian proverb says, “If you
pound yam on fresh leaves, and prepare the soup
in small groundnut shells, the person that will be
satisfied will still be satisfied.” That means that
however scarce money is, some people will still be
rich. I said to myself some years ago, that if our
country’s yam is pounded in leaves, and its soup
is prepared in tiny groundnut shells, I will be
satisfied. That point of decision was where things
began to change. It is now your turn. Everything
you need is around you. Just believe, because
what you believe is what you become.
G. Change who you are
I talked extensively about this process of
transformation in my latest book, Success Is Who
You Are. I mentioned in it that the difference
between the rich and the poor is not essentially in
what they have, it is not even in what they do; it is
in who they are. Being must precede doing. It is
who you are at the core of your heart that
determines the direction of your life. As a man
thinks in his heart so is he. Like a sage said, “the
heart of the matter is the matter of the heart”. You
see, the journey from rags to riches is an internal
trip. To have what the rich have, you must first
become who they are then you must do what they
do.
At the core of your being are your thoughts. You
are literarily what you think. To change who you
are, change your thoughts. Think like the rich then
talk like the rich. When you alter your thoughts,
you alter your life.
You will succeed!
