Financial success is a journey, not a destination


Hello Reader,

Everyone thinks financial success is a final destination you arrive at.

You're considered financially successful when:

  • You have a net worth of $X.
  • You can stop working anytime.
  • You travel anywhere you want, anytime you want.
  • You own an entire suite of properties and collect rent.
  • You buy a sports club, fly in your jet plane, and hang out with celebrities.

I don't have any of these 👆

But I know every time I've made more money and upgraded my life, there's always more I want.
My goalposts keep shifting. I imagine even after I've made all the money I want, I'll want more or different.
I've concluded that this is how financial success is.
It's a journey, not a destination.

Every time you reach a financial milestone, a new one appears.

For every level there’s another Devil. ~ Tyrese Gibson

Financial success is a process of consistently taking action to fulfill your heart's desire.
And since we're built to continuously grow and expand, the desire for more and better will always be in us.

The key is to pursue your heart's desire with purpose, faith, joy, and gratitude.

"Learn to be thankful for what you already have, while you pursue all that you want." ~ Jim Rohn

Material wealth is fantastic. Having more money enables you to make a bigger impact in the world.
But most people who want to be financially successful do it with desperation and frustration because they get disappointed that what they want isn't happening fast enough.

So they give up.

That's a sure way to guarantee a result - the result of not getting what you want.

How can you pursue all the financial success your heart desires, while being grateful for what you already have, despite the inevitable failures and disappointments along the way?

Here's a simple roadmap that works for me:

  • Have a clear financial vision that compels you to keep going.
  • Create a strategy you're deeply connected with.
  • Take daily actions and iterate along the way.
  • Handle your doubts, fears, and uncertainties.

If you want to learn how to do these, then come to my free workshop on 4 April 2024, 8 PM, GMT+8 where I'll show you how.

Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream. One brick at a time. One email at a time. So here we are! Today's topic is about owning your story. Because your story has value. All the decisions you made, the actions you took, the ups and downs - they all...

Reader, Half of my week has been spent lying in bed, exhausted from what my doctor said was a particularly fierce, mutated flu virus that's been circulating. I hardly ever get sick. Whenever I do, I take it as a sign from the universe to slow down and rest because my default mode is to always be on the go. But it still didn't stop me from recording a podcast episode this week on the topic of showing up consistently! It might be my shortest episode yet (<10 minutes). Having the time to ponder...

Reader, I had a very big, pleasant surprise this week. A heavyweight from LinkedIn, Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi DM-ed me to come on my podcast! I reached out to her last year when I relaunched my podcast inviting her to be a guest. She accepted at first, then postponed it because it wasn’t a good time for her. I thought she probably changed her mind after realizing what a nobody I am. This is the kind of negative self-talk that goes on in my mind - it's a daily practice to neutralize it's impact on...
