If there is a product, choose something reoccurring and consumable. Commit to working with that company for at least five years to give yourself enough time to learn the business. Pay yourself first and, most importantly, don't spend all of your money each time you earn!   BONUS: A game to help you focus on your ideal life   Financial independence is being able to choose how you spend your time and money on your terms.

What would your life be like and what would you do? How would you spend your money?   Write this down and reflect on it regularly to stay motivated towards your goal.    Resources & People Mentioned   Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert T.
