At the age of six, I was making more money than most adults. Being a child actor I had the privilege of working with awesome people in the industry and making a lot of money as well as getting a top notch education while I was on set.
Without financial intelligence, the money that was earned within the industry was foolishly spent and by the time I entered my early twenties, my bank account was running dry just like many entertainers before and after me.
I spent the next five years in the rat race, working for pennies and falling into a struggle I never wished to experience. I can tell you that living paycheck to paycheck was hard, and I could never imagine having someone decide my earnings for the rest of my life.
I moved into a more lucrative sales position after college that provided me with the freedom of traveling, and making my own schedule but something was still missing. Thankfully after spending three years in a sales I made the decision to step back and pursue all of the creative avenues my soul craves.
At the age of 30 I can tell you my life is just beginning. Make no mistake, my wife and I are not whimsically traveling the world with no direction. We are making calculated decisions to better our lives, increase our wealth and give the world all we can.
Money is power, we have been told that our entire lives. But is the money you make more important than the quality of life you live? Absolutely Not. Although, you CAN have the best of both worlds so don’t let anyone tell you different.
Don’t wait for the increase in pay at your 9-5 job if you can be more profitable in your own business.
Even if you aren’t earning more money by working for yourself think of the benefits that you create by following your passions. Weigh the pros and cons.
Next, all you must do is make the decision and finally take the steps to become successful. You will not only benefit financially but emotionally and physically because you are now working for the LOVE of money.
Money is a tool, a wonderful tool you can use to help yourself and others in the world.
No matter where you are currently; if the financial situation is grim or if you have a hefty savings under your mattress you will be able to progress and create the wealth you need to be financially secure and hopefully one day financially free.
