FIT Wealth: Learn how to succeed and become wealthy
The original purpose for FIT Wealth was to provide personal finance education. Topics such as investing, superannuation, income & expenses, assets & liabilities and so on are so important because the lack of financial literacy in Australia is astounding. I worked in a financial planning firm and it amazes me how little most people know about money and this problem resides in every age group, not just the young.
Over the last few years, I have been reading a lot in the area of self-development and analysing my own life. After reflection, it dawned on me that just giving you the information on personal finance is of limited use (boring too!).
Imagine you were handed a warehouse full of fantastic tools and then asked to build a house.
You have the tools, but you don’t have the know-how.
The personal finance knowledge are the tools, and the life strategies are the know-how. The application of what you are learning is paramount to your success in life.
I have the financial knowledge, I have research skills and I have learnt a lot recently about self-improvement and what it takes to be successful (however you define success).
The only problem is that I have put it all together in my mid 40’s. The things I want you to learn are the things I wish I knew before I left school. But it’s not too late.
I want to share with you the lessons from all the mistakes I’ve made over the last 25+ years, the things I’ve learnt more recently as well as providing important basic financial knowledge.
By standing on the shoulders of those who came before us, we can see further and achieve more.
Success by design
To get to the top of the pyramid you need the foundation blocks and all the other layers to create a tall pyramid. You can’t just have the top block!
So many people think (or hope) that they can build a pyramid with just the top block. They chase the get rich quick schemes and that top block just ends up falling on top of you potentially creating your own personal diasater.
Each layer of the pyramid is essential for repeatable, long lasting achievement and success. This is what FIT Wealth is about.
Over the coming posts we will build the pyramid.
FIT Wealth in conjunction with my game My Fortune: Race to Financial Freedom (in the Apple App Store) is all about helping you take the first step towards your journey of success, whatever that may be.
Your definition of success will be different to everybody else. Even though I’m focusing on financial or career success, many of the strategies I share can translate to other areas of your life such as health, relationships, business, sport, parenting or whatever it is in which you want to be successful.
I want to save you wasted time and effort and potentially thousands of dollars, to get you where you want to go faster by enhancing your performance.
Why take the scenic route when you can take the bullet train?
I have done a lot of reading, listening to podcasts and watching of YouTube videos relating to personal development and upon self-reflection, I have found that the successes I have had in life have followed the same path as described in my research on success. The formula is simple to understand, but the journey (the application) is not easy.
I have spent the last few decades feeling absolutely lost. Knowing I’m capable of something, but not knowing what.
Not having a clear direction in life and dealing with my back issue has been my personal nightmare.
Now, my duty is to educate and guide you. To help you avoid the mistakes and pitfalls I encountered. I want to create successful people, however, you define success.
Your life changes forever, NOW
FIT Wealth is about shining a light on the right path for your life. I want to provide the guidance and education that isn’t provided at school. School and university teach you about 10% of what you really need to know to be successful in life. The other 90% comes from directed self-education and experience.
Close your eyes (after you’ve read this paragraph) and I want you to picture yourself in the life you want to live. I want you to be so absorbed that it feels real. You are already there.
Elite athletes visualise the race or competition and see themselves winning. Why not you? Take your time to really lose yourself. Go on, close your eyes.
Get excited.
Now, see yourself on your path to success sitting atop the rocket that’s going to get you there faster than you can imagine. The only trick is that the fuel for the rocket is your effort. Massive results require massive action.
And remember, it is never too late to start!
Your decision tree
The choices you make determine your life. Do you choose to use what you are about to learn or not? Do you choose to continue your path of self-development or not? Do you choose to stay or go? Do you choose to study success? The difference in outcomes can become massive over time.
Imagine that the decision tree above continues out over the course of a lifetime. Thousands of bubbles. Each decision you make leads to a range of outcomes. Those outcomes lead to further outcomes. If I had my time again, I would have liked to have designed the outcome I could have had.
If you drift through life like I have, you have no way of knowing where you will end up. I thought that because I studied, opportunity would appear. Guess what? It didn’t. Opportunity only appears when you are open and proactively looking for it.
You can design the life you want, and I’ll show you the tools (knowledge and strategies) to get you there.
As you progress through these posts you will learn how to construct a pyramid that can stretch as high as you want it to.
Your success: Who you become
In one of Jim Rohn’s (a motivational speaker) audio recordings he talks about his mentor suggesting he set a goal of becoming a millionaire. His teacher said, I’ll tell you why it’s a good goal. Jim thought you don’t need to tell me why it’s a good goal, I know why. His teacher said, it’s not the money that’s important, it’s what you become that is important.
Jim reached his goal and then within a few years lost it all, but he was able to get it all back because of what he had become. He had built such a strong foundation for success that he just applied his knowledge all over again, learnt from his mistakes and replicated the success he had attained before. To be the person you want to become you MUST change the person that you are. You need to evolve.
Two thoughts I want to leave you with
- Your thoughts determine your life. How are your thoughts impacting your life?
- Learning from your own trial and error is stupid (unless you are doing something no one has ever done before). Why take 5, 10, 15 years to achieve something when you could do it in 6 months if you just learnt from other people’s mistakes and successes?
