Learning the Game of Money!

Hello,

I’m writing alot today but I think it’s important to get all these things off my chest.

For the last three years I’ve earned something like £75 grand after tax. Give or take, I haven’t done the sums properly. I’m walking away (after a deal done with my previous employer) with around 1/7 of that figure.

Had I been smart with my money I could be walking away with £55 thousand pounds, fact.

The truth is my finances for a long time have been in complete and utter chaos. I’ve purchased needlessly, I’ve bought on impulse and I’ve damaged my credit rating.

At the beginning of the year I made a goal to work out and sort my finances. Had I done something at the beginning of the year I could be 10-13 thousands pounds better off than I am today. That has not happened and I’ve learned a solid, important and yet financially painful lesson.

I deserve this lesson.

I’m changing my ways and that begins at the bottom. I’m learning and taking advice from various mediums, including, www.moneysavingexpert.com, The intelligent Investor and Mathematical books on Finance.

I have some time on my hands once I come back from backpacking, so within 6 months I expert to be an absolute expert in, “The Game of Money”.

I want complete choice with Money and do not want to rely on money nor be constrained by it.

I’ll be writing more when I understand more.

Thanks

Business Success Barrier:-

I turned to O and said, “It’s a great flat isn’t it?” with a out-of-this-world inclination in my voice tone, he turned to me and said, “yeah, but you can have something like this one day”.

That comment struck me straight away. Why? Why did I feel that physiological change in my body that hinders your progress, the physical change that says, “Do you really feel you’re worthy of this?”.

I thought for a second, yes I am fucking worthy of this, look how far i’ve come in my relationship goals and my health goals, my travelling lifestyle is also working for me, Why the fuck not?

I’m beginning to get a vision of where I want to be, i’m beginning to uncover the lifestyle I wish to lead, and the financial steps I must take in order to get there.

I want to be a “have not” and have to go through that personal evolution of having nothing. I want to work hard and feel the frustrating gradual nature of progress.

I don’t want this so I can glorify myself in riches, I want this for the privelege of operating at my highest potential, my highest level of consciousness.

I want to make it from nothing all the way to the top, I want to build something from scratch with my own two hands.

I want to know what it really means to make money, I mean really know what it feels like, when you sweat, bleed, cry with the energy you put into your business, overshadowed by massive financial uncertainty. I really want to know what is involved in the creation of wealth and financial abundance.

I want to eat in a lavish reastaurant with the momey i’ve made on my own and really taste the food that my two hands have afforded me.

I want to have the threat of my success being taken away from me at any given time, safe in the knowledge that I can build it up from scratch again, build it stronger, faster, better than before.

I want to feel the true enjoyment in what I have rightfully earned, that sense of self reliance as a man, which offers more happiness than any amount of money could ever provide.

2009 will be a year dedicated to business/career and financial sucess.
