How to gain Life and Financial Freedom-Introduction
By Oscar Kanu
A lot of business opportunities have been recommended as viable in creating financial freedom. Many suggested opportunities, have changed the course of peoples' lives, allowed them move up from poverty- a state of financial crises to various stages of financial state such as financial instability, stability and independence.
It is however, important to note that true freedom should be whole- Life and Financial. Hence the need to have a proper understanding of true freedom. We have seen cases where people jump up to wealth by any means but lost all within few days. This alarming phenomenon cure, goes beyond mastering financial management. One has to grow the capacity to consistently produce, multiply, expand, reproduce and sustain anything you want in life including wealth.
Gaining life and financial freedom appears like the exclusive preserve of few persons who Lord themselves over the others for generations. But, gaining sustainable life and financial freedom have their root on some revealed principles. These principles have changed my life and the lives of so many people around the world who are practicing them. Yours will not be an exception.
I worked as a professional for over 2 decades in three of most of the admired multinational corporations in Nigeria and started different businesses. During this time, I made fairly good progress, before I discovered principles that have shaped my life and the lives of others. Since then, I’ve built three separate successful companies, runs a foundation and sits on the board of others that are making significant impact around the world.
It would have never happened if I didn’t allow myself implement revealed principles, learn over and over again to master how it works and how it doesn’t. Thankfully, I already failed-learned plenty, which means you get to learn from my mistakes.
To start with, what really is Life and Financial freedom?
Maslow's hierarchy of needs of a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid can help us understand the levels of human financial and life needs.
The lowest level of state anyone could be at in life, is Life & Financial Crisis, when one is down, at the rock bottom, unable to meet basic physiological needs such as food, drink, shelter, clothing and where you're not even certain where your next meal will come from. Struggling in life, stagnated in life, in bo***ge, enslaved, in darkness, lives in ignorance, hopeless, lacked the knowledge of truth and purpose of existence. Statistic has it that over 24% of people in sub-Saharan Africa lives within this bracket. Children and youth account for two-thirds of these group in most regions.
The next level of state is Life & Financial Instability-where one is barely just feeding hands to mouth. One works so hard with little or nothing to show for it. Frustrated, in debt and uses most of what is earn to service debt, acquainted with the truth but lacked capacity to maximize same. Highly volatile. Today good, tomorrow in lack. Lacked basic safety needs such as good health care, good source of income, good housing, family welfare, security, law & order, and stability. Statistic has it that about another 30% of people in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are within this bracket.
The next level of state is Life & Financial Stability-this is the most deceived set of persons who may think they have arrived. They stopped learning and are fully dependent on their source of income. They just have enough to meet your basic needs of life but cannot afford to handle any sudden life occurrences. One lacked freedom to explore, to maximize potential and are stuck in a very bored life routine that doesn't allow for creativity and growth. One is frustrated, not loved by people around you. Most see you as not caring for lack of support from you or at the best a competition. Here one may have met physiological and safety needs but lacked social and feelings of being love, belongingness and capacity. About another 34% of people in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia are within this bracket.
The next level of state is Life & Financial Independence-when one is comfortable, grown in grace and knowledge of truth. Doing very well but is self-absorbed, selfish, self-centered, low self-esteem, lacked dignity, self-fulfillment, influence, impact, achievement, mastery, reputation and respect from others. Maybe you're passionate about learning but never coming to mastery. You're always seeking more not wanting to impact others. Never satisfied about what he has wants even from the most vulnerable. Crabs power but abuses it on self-aggrandizement and abuse others. It is said that only about 9% of the people, mainly leaders in the ‘’third world’’ countries are within this space.
But then the highest level of state is Life and Financial Freedom when one is very comfortable, takes advantage of his many blessings to help others. Have clear understanding of what his purpose is and scope of his life purpose. Have gained the capacity and resources and is fulfilling it significantly. One is purpose driven. Sees opportunities where most people see problems. One is like Joshua and Caleb that saw a land filled with plenty, with milk and honey while others saw giants that made them think of themselves as grass hoppers. You believe that all things are possible with you. When you’re highly creative with unconventional ideas that have helped you create multiple streams of Income that provides platform for others to dream big and actualize their dreams also. You are creating wealth, multiplying wealth, helping other do same and enjoy life and financial freedom. You live your life like most people won't so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t. You don't want to grow older and be disappointed that the things that you didn't do are more than the you did and with that mindset comes the drive to shape your life and the life of others with highest value. You do big things. You are not just changing your lives but you want to change the world and make significant impact. You continually increase the scope of the people you serve. According to recent report only 3% of people live within this bracket all over the world.
Final thoughts
Few persons maybe at the highest level of state but you can be one of those. We can grow this space and the world will be better for it. I have to reiterate that implementing revealed principles have been the single best decision I’ve ever made in my life on this planet. It’s given me the freedom—both financially and time to build the exact life I want.
There’s a lot to learn (certainly more than I can teach you in one guide), and it’s a steep learning curve. You will do well do make yourself acquainted with this page and join our group accounts detailed https://chat.whatsapp.com/DA4tl9SBoEmJb5Yvzopx05 as I will be revealing the principles daily. You will also have the opportunity to learn from like-minded champions.
Thank You.
