Remember in college Psych class you learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

Basically, there were 5 levels when Maslow first defined it. Now, they've added a few more for a total of 8 levels of needs to achieve self-actualization. And, Maslow hypothesized, that only 2% of our society achieve this. Where are you in the levels?

1. Biological/ Physiological Needs: air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep.
2. Safety Needs: protection from the elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.
3. Love/ Belongingness Needs: friendship, intimacy, affection & love, from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships.
4. Esteem Needs: achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others.
5. Self-Actualization Needs: realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth & peak experiences.

Now let me tell you my story.

Point is:

• If your basic needs (level 1 & 2) are not being taken care of, personally or financially, you won't have the space in your mind to focus on building the bigger things in life.
• By making your regular needs automated, personally and financially, you are able to free up that space to focus, create and build your wealth.
