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.

What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...

I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...

Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
