All week we’ve discussed a new approach to retirement planning. But with this one, we scrap the traditional idea of retirement completely. Then we replace it with the pursuit of monthly cash flow and financial independence.
Now, let’s take a moment to talk about what all this financial planning is for…
I read a lot of wealth-building/self-help books back when I was just getting started on my journey. Back then, when they would talk about motivation, they would suggest readers make a list of material goods they wanted to have. Big house… fancy car… nice watch… slick wardrobe – all that stuff.
I don’t know if the wealth-building books today still pitch that nonsense… but that’s exactly what it is. Nonsense.
Financial independence isn’t about being a better consumer. It’s about creating the freedom we need to pursue our true calling.
The late Gary North used to talk about the difference between a job and a calling. Our job puts food on the table and pays the bills. Our calling is that one productive thing that we can do better than most people on the planet. It’s something that brings us fulfillment. And it could have a positive impact on our little corner of the world.
Imagine spending your days doing something that excites you and gives you purpose. Imagine having plenty of time to spend with the kids and the grandkids… to travel… and to engage in community-oriented activities.
That’s the true power of financial independence. It’s retirement, upgraded… and potentially accelerated.
And here’s the best part – achieving financial independence doesn’t require luck. Not if you are committed to a specific plan of action.
And that’s where our upcoming book comes in. It’s titled Beyond the Nest Egg: How to Be Financially Independent Outside of a Broken System.
Beyond the Nest Egg highlights the shifting macroeconomic landscape, and then it lays out a comprehensive, step-by-step plan to financial independence. The book even provides a real-world case study to demonstrate exactly how this approach works, and works incredibly well.
So I would like to leave you with one final suggestion this week – let’s not leave our financial future to chance.
Too many people are like a rudderless ship at sea, drifting about with every financial breeze that blows. I know because I was one of them. I didn’t start to experience financial success until I set my course. It’s all about getting very deliberate with every financial move we make.
Beyond the Nest Egg will lay out a specific plan of action – the same one I followed. If you would like more information or early access to our initial release, just go here: Beyond the Nest Egg – Shaking Up the Financial World
