First shameless promo — I am all about finding healthy and sustainable ways to live a more productive and meaningful life. Therefore, I have completed 18 30-day challenges to build sustainable habits so far. Here is the plugin if you would like to read any of my challenges.
I love to read books. I truly believe that all the problems you had or going to have somehow been discussed in a book somewhere.
All you have to do is find that book and implement the stuff.
Recently, I read the book — The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. The book has more than 10000 reviews on Amazon. It is one of the best books if you want to fast-track your life.
In a nutshell, the book argues that being rich is not all about money and fame.
I used to think that financial freedom meant a lot of money sitting in bank accounts or being invested.
Now I realize that financial freedom means more free time while living a comfortable life.
Here are the top three things to achieve financial freedom and wealth. Let’s dive into the top three things which are super important to gain financial freedom.
Health
The first wealth is health. — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Health is super important to enjoy anything or everything in life. I always say health should be your top priority, even before family.
I would say before the family is because you are not going to help or even able to help a friend or family member if you are sick.
From the perspective of the goals, good health is crucial to having energy, focus, and willingness to achieve your goals.
Time
Lost time is never found again. — Benjamin Franklin
How strange is it that everyone on this planet has a finite source of time? It doesn’t matter if you are a billionaire or struggling in life with your finances.
One thing is common you have 24 hours in a day to hit your goals.
The second most important thing to be rich is time. I personally feel that getting more money means I have more control over time.
Relationships
The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in. — Morrie Schwartz
We all know that strong and healthy relationships with family, friends, and mentors are essential for success, including becoming rich.
No one succeeds independently. We need to rely on other people. Therefore, we must develop strong and healthy relationships to support our financial goals.
The bottom line
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it buys options. — Naval Ravikant
In a nutshell, the top three things, according to Mr. DeMarco in the book The Millionaire Fastlane, are more important than wealth and financial freedom. To recall, here are the top 3 things.
- Health
- Time
- Relationships
