The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 19

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 19

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
The financial illiterate slave is in bondage to the financial savvy aristocrat.

You are in the Financial Matrix if you …
1.    Are speculating instead of paying your debts.
When in debt it is not the time to gamble.

2.    Are not putting your money where your mouth is.
Putting our money where our mouth is can be fun, funny, and profitable.

3.    Are chasing another get rich quick scheme.
If it is quick and easy, run fast from any quick and easy offering; go for those that are not easy but worth it.

4.    Are not following the financial truth principles.
Applying the financial truth principles is the only way to get out of the matrix.

5.    Are satisfied with a small but adequate income.
Tue greed is the inability to create wealth and help others because you are living comfortably with your income in your small world.

6.    Think money isn’t everything.
After we have enough money, money is no longer the most important thing.

7.    Are afraid of making financial mistakes.
It is a lot better to be partially right than to be precisely wrong by following the advice from the wrong sources.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 18

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 18

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
Financial Literacy is the key to get out of the matrix. 

You are in the Financial Matrix if you …

1.    Unable to see your financial freedom day.
We must believe to see; belief is the main component of faith.

2.    Sign more checks on the front than on the back.
When there is more money going out than coming in; the matrix got you.

3.    Are planning your fun more than your financial future.
It is really amazing how many folks want to play now and pay later; the formula for a personal financial crash.

4.    Are not doing the things you don’t feel like doing.
We must be willing to do the things the ordinary man is not willing to do so we can have the uncommon things the common man will never have.

5.    Cannot see your financial past.
The further we can look back and learn from our financial blunders the longer we can see a future filled with financial prosperity.

6.    Are getting your advice from CNBC and Money Magazine.
The wealthy get personal advice from successful financial advisors; they are willing to pay for the right information.

7.    Are waiting for signs from God about your financial future.
The signs have been right in front of you for a long time; think for a change.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 17

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 17

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
The financial illiterate slave is in bondage to the financial savvy aristocrat.

You are in the Financial Matrix if you …
1.   Do not have meaningful personal values.
Life is empty without meaningful personal values; an existential vacuum.

2.   Do not have the guts of a contrarian.
If we do what the common person does we get what the common person gets, very little.

3.   Are not willing to take risks.
The greatest risk of all is not taking a risk.
Analysis paralysis keeps Jack and Jill and Joe and Joan broke.

4.   Do not apply the psychology of personal discipline.
The discipline of investing in oneself is the first step to financial freedom.

5.   Are a conformist.
You heard what happens to the herd; gets slaughtered every time.

6.   Do not understand the value of dissent.
We can never take our grubby old self of a bright new future; a new version of ourselves is required.
Ignore plan B; sever ties with what is holding you back and focus on plan A only.

7.   Are a dabbler.
There is nothing more common than know-it-all dabblers; they go from one endeavor to another without learning the fundamental lessons required to succeed.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 16

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 16

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
The financial illiterate slave is in bondage to the financial savvy aristocrat.

You are in the Financial Matrix if you …
1.    Are waiting for others to motivate you to live a better life.
No one can motivate you; true motivation comes from within you.

2.    Are sitting on great ideas waiting for the right moment.
Those slow to make decisions make the wrong decisions slowly.

3.    Are waiting to get all details before starting.
It is more important to make the decision right than to make the right decision; get moving or you will get run over.

4.    Are not breaking free from your ineffective habits.
Read the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and replace bad habits with the good ones.

5.    Are letting others control your time, your calendar.
Why are people so eager to spend their most valuable resource so freely?

6.    Are letting the urgent take over the important things in life.
Never let what matters most be at the mercy of what matters the least.
Does your checkbook and your calendar reflect your values and priorities?

7.    Are living inside your familiar zone, holding on to perceived security.
There is no safety in a mediocre life and there is no mediocrity in a life outside the matrix.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 15

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 15

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.

You are in the Financial Matrix if you …
1.    Are not making money while you are sleeping.
Imagine money working for you while you are sleeping.

2.    Do not have multiple streams of income.
No one can afford to put all the eggs in one basket any longer.

3.    Stay down when you stubble.
Winners get knocked down but they don’t get knocked out; learn the lessons quickly and get up and move fast.

4.    Have not read The Richest Man in Babylon nor Think and Grow Rich books.
Financial literacy is a must for anyone wanting a way out of the matrix.

5.    Have not acquired wealth creation skills yet.
We can make a million dollars or a million excuses, we just can’t make both.

6.    Are afraid of sharing your financial report card with someone you trust.
Face your financial reality no matter how brutal it is; financial denial will keep you in the matrix.

7.    Do not have the mindset required to be out of the Financial Matrix.
Proper financial thinking is required to get and stay out of the matrix.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 14

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
You are in the Financial Matrix if you …

1.    Are not turning your setbacks into comebacks.
Setbacks come so we can stretch and grow; no struggle, no victory.

2.    Are not turning great ideas into reality.
Ideas are worthless unless diligently applied toward a worthy goal.

3.    Are not visualizing your freedom day.
Only those who use the power of visualizing complete freedom are the ones you live it.

4.    Are not listening to financially successful people.
If you are not getting the results you want in life perhaps is time to stop listening to yourself.

5.    Are suffering from low self-image.
We can only get what our imagination can picture.

6.    Are not applying universal truths into your life.
The success principles have been available to everyone for centuries.

7.    Are missing the key ingredients of success.
Those that follow a proven process get predictable results.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!

The Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 13

Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
You are in the Financial Matrix if you …

1.    Are not reading the stories of why and how successful people became successful.
Success is predictable, just like mediocrity; the choice is yours.

2.    Are not working on yourself more than on anything else.
We are the biggest project in our lives; so work diligently to get better.

3.    Are not fully aware on the power of choice to make decisions.
Choices make us or break us; learn to overcome the pitfalls of poor decision making.

4.    Are not organizing your time like those out of the matrix do.
Time is our most precious resource; don’t squander it in frivolous activities.

5.    Have your aunt and your elephant at war with each other.
We only get what we picture in our imagination, our subconscious elephant.

6.    Don’t have the rituals like those out of the matrix do.
Rituals come from the right habits forged a day at a time.

7.    Not leveraging the power of habits.
Create good habits and become their slave so money can become your slave.

Solution: Get financially fit and prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing in your financial education!
