Mark starts off strong from the get-go. In his introduction, he lays out these three steps to achieving your goals:
1. Creating/refining your intention. Once you have what true wealth and financial freedom means to you crystal clear in your mind, then you can move on to the next step…
2. Which is declaring your intention. Write down what true wealth and financial freedom means to you. Also, lay out your major goals in this area AND the steps you need to take to get to those goals. Which means the last step is…
3. Taking action. Begin taking the steps you need to take to reach the goals you've laid out.
Remember - how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
It is up to you to take those first steps toward true wealth and financial freedom.
In his book, Mark lays out what he calls "The Articles of the Wealth Manifesto." There are 14 articles in total, reminding us that wealth, true wealth, has to do with the quality of our lives as they relate to our personal values. Money is just a tool to use in garnering true wealth.
When we hone down to what our core values are in life, and live our lives in sync with those values, we tend to be happier and more content with ourselves and our lives, which equates to coming from a place of abundance rather than a place of lack.
Also, when we are living our lives in sync with our personal values, we are building our lives on a solid foundation rather then the shifting sands of society's values and mores.
In order to determine what your core values and principles are, you can go through the exercise laid out in this post from January 2014.
When we are sure of our footing, of our foundation, we can truly begin to grow, stretching ourselves to reach whatever goals we have set for ourselves.
True wealth begins by taking the first step - what step can you take right now toward living your best life now?
Until next time, Namaste!
