The Bart Milatz Show

I used to think that in order to become financially independent I needed to be a millionaire and have millions of dollars saved up. Because this goal is so huge, I gave up before I ever got started!

Over the years I got back to my original goal and did the research and the numbers to see how much is really needed to become financially independent and which ways are possible.

I learned that there are 3 main ways you can become financially independent that don't require millions! I am not talking about modalities here, but the main methods.

Do you hate your manager? Do you have Monday morning blues, TGIF’s and week-freaking-ends?

I know how you feel and this podcast is for you, because I used to feel the same way you do and have had my fair share of “horrible bosses”.

This WILL cost you a lot of energy, motivation and drive. It is time to “unhate your manager” and in this podcast I will share with you how.

Have you ever started a business to create more freedom?

Have you ever quit your job because you thought it would give you more freedom?

You're not alone. The reason that many people start their own business and quit their jobs is because they want to have more freedom.

Freedom could look something like this:

• More free time to spend with family and friends

• More money to do anything and to buy anything

• Freedom from working for a boss

• Freedom to make your own decisions

• Freedom to live your life, your way

However, if that is the reason for starting your own business you are going to achieve the opposite result.

When I was younger I had these two things being said to me, over and over again:

The first one was by my dad: I have to work so hard and hardly keep anything

The second one was by society: Follow the rules and get a secure paycheque

Both of these things have kept me stuck for a while now as a wage slave. I started this podcast because I believe there is so much more to life than these two silly and useless thoughts.

I am closer than ever to not being a wage-slave anymore and am sharing this journey with you that I am on. A journey from self-doubt, hesitation and lack, towards more freedom, wealth and influence in the world.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I thought that you should know my journey, where I came from and where I am going and that I honor you as well for being on a similar journey with us.

Do you want to make more money? But no matter what you do, you don’t seem to be making more?

Everyone wants to make more money, to get a promotion and to be rich.

This is what most finance experts say:

- Save money, be frugal, don’t drink Starbucks and save $5 a day and in 50 years you're a millionaire!

- Serve more people, the more people you serve, the more you earn!

- Go live on Facebook every day, be on social media, pay for ads

I think there is some merit in all of this, but it won't make you more money by itself. A penny saved is still just a penny saved.

What you need is to increase your income by adding more value and getting paid for that. You need to value solving problems and caring about other people to wanting to help them get an outcome. You also need to value yourself to charge for your services and to save and invest that money so it grows

How do you add more value?

- Think about what people truly want and need by doing your research

- See what the market is offering

- See what the market is not offering or something that you can do better

- Connect with your customers through innovative marketing

- Create products and services that you charge for, so people value it and you can make more money as well.

As a wage slave we are often in a job for a period of time until we have saved enough money to do our own business or are brave enough to quit.

Whilst working in a job, it is important that you reach an income high enough that allows you to save money. Often people do this the slow way: you stay at a job and wait for two years till you get a low promotion, that often doesn’t even equal the increase in your expenses (inflation).

In this episode I will share with you 3 tips on how I got 3 promotions within a year, without me even asking for them!

More than 80 years ago, Napoleon Hill wrote an amazing book called “Think and Grow Rich”. Over the years I heard many famous speakers recommend this book and say that it contributed to their financial success. I have bought the book as well and read it tens of times, but nothing much changed for me financially.

Until I did something different than the title of the book. Instead of “thinking” rich I started to “feel” rich. This shift has changed my financial destiny and finally has the impact that I wanted it to have.

In this episode I will share with you each of the 13 chapters of Think and Grow Rich and how you can apply them properly in your life to get your desired results.

So don’t “think” and grow rich, but “feel” and grow rich!

Not money, but time is the most valuable commodity that you have. Once time is up, it is game over!

We all have 168 hours in a week. However, as an employee we often say that we don’t have the time or the energy to get our own stuff done. That’s why proper time management is so important, and that's why I talked about the benefits of being a wage slave, so you have the energy to keep going!

In this week's episode I share with you 4 tips to manage your time better. First of all, you need to wake up earlier and get your most important thing done for the day, BEFORE you go to your slave job. That sets you up for success and to win the day, before it even started!

Secondly, use your commute more effectively. If you are driving: listen to audio programs, do hands-free sales calls, or drive with a friend to bounce ideas off of. If you're in the train or bus, you can also do the same, or watch educational videos or write a book.

Thirdly, after work you have another 5 or 6 hours in most cases to be productive as well. Change socialising for networking. Change dinner for going to the gym and eating healthy.

Fourthly, use your days off more wisely. I know all of this sounds like you have to give up your life. You don’t have to do that, but if you are truly committed to creating freedom for yourself and your loved ones, you start to manage your time and energy better.

Finally, plan your days, weeks, months and years in advance. This helps you to focus on outcomes that you want to achieve, instead of just activities that often lead to nowhere.

Being a wage-slave has many benefits, otherwise we wouldn't be one.

On the journey to freedom, it is important to recognise these benefits. We need to be grateful first, because that helps us to see the job as on the way instead of in the way.
