RETIRE IN TEN YEARS OR LESS Part1

THE POWER OF YOUR DESIRE
"...When desire has conceived, it gives birth..." JAMES 1:15a (NKJV).

The first step to getting anything is desire. If you never desire, you will never aspire, and would never acquire. Each of us has 24 hours daily, and individual talents. Some are handicap, but desire can help them develop a system that helps them overcome their handicap, thereby giving them equal chances as others.
No matter what fails, let your vision and drive never ebb away. Rather, let them keep waxing stronger by the day, as you keep acting on your plan, so that the process can transform you into what you should be becoming.
VISION
Vision here, is your mental picture for the future,  and as Bishop Oyedepo puts it, "Your mental picture, determines your actual future."
It takes an employee, an average of 30-40 years to prepare for retirement. Some never retire in the end, as they cannot afford to retire.
The problem is that they never had a mental picture of the kind of retirement they would love to have, or how quickly they would love it to be. And if they ever had, they weren't passionate or consistent.
When you want to jump across a gutter or ditch, you look at the very spot you want to land, and you land there, if you are not wavering in your mind. So also when playing soccer, for those that play, you are more likely to score a goal, if your eyes and feet are working together at the time you aim the net. In like manner, when driving, if you do not keep your eyes on where you are going, sooner your hands will follow, and you would stir the vehicle in that direction.
So, have a clear-cut vision, write it out and place it before you always, and all your actions will be to establish it. The beginning is always the hardest. If you stay tenacious, you will achieve it in the little time left, and would still be retiring in less than ten years from the time your money starts rushing in. And probably your kids would still be young. But most importantly, you will be financially free. I learnt that Abraham Lincoln once said, "If I had 6 hours to fell a tree, I would spend 4 sharpening my cutlass.
DRIVE
Your passion must be on top always, which is why you have to discover your passion. What talents do you have, and what needs would you like to meet in this world? What value do you want to create?
ACTION
Be motivated daily, and keep acting on, and improving your plan. Yet, you must learn to read numbers (a financial statement). You need financial literacy. Which we shall consider in one of the succeeding articles.
Let me recommend to you: "Rich Dad's 60 Minutes To Getting Rich" (DVD), and "Insight And Foresight: For All-Round Self-Development."
God bless you.
