CLARIFY YOUR FINANCIAL VISION
B Principles of FINANCIAL Freedom
How did you get here?
Understanding these important principles will help you learn the reasons for your current financial situation—and how to break free of debt. You know people who have too much credit card debt, who pay too much interest and late fees and can never get ahead. It may even be you! These problems come from not living in line with a few powerful financial principles. Understanding and living by these key principles bring greater success and fulfillment to your life.
What is a principle?
It’s a natural law or fundamental truth like, “What goes up must come down.” If you jump up—you will come down. Principles have three important characteristics:
• Principles are objective. They operate with or without your knowledge. Whether you understand it or not—gravity exists.
• Principles are predictable. They produce consistent results. Magnetic opposites will attract; you can count on it.
• Principles are universal. They function no matter where you are. Gravity is gravity wherever you live on earth.
Many people coast through life without understanding how principles affect them. They know what’s happening, but not particularly why or how to change it.
“It gives much more pain to the mind to be in debt than to do without any article whatever which we may seem to want...”
~ Thomas Jefferson
