“Principles are essential for the great things of life”

There have been several controversies on what financial success is, and what it’s not. But an undying fact is that success itself is relative. What you deem as a state of success might not be the same for someone else. 

Financial success isn’t even about having a ton of money in the bank. Although to some people, achieving a particular income bracket is a form of financial success. To be factual, financial success is difficult to define in concrete and well-ironed terms. And this is largely due to everyone having their own subjective definitions.

To an extent, you need a level of personal financial literacy to achieve whatever financial success means to you. This means you need to have a ground-level understanding of the things that work for you, and that propels you towards your height of financial success. 

Basic things like making smarter spending choices, and drafting a sustainable and realistic monthly budget, are stepping stones to guide your way to financial success. Although, this is only a part of achieving financial success. Your mind has a significant role to play as well, as you have to take charge of your environment and whatever situation you find yourself in. A weak mind cannot conceive or accommodate financial success. 

Starting Afresh 

It’s essential to pick up the pieces and start afresh once there’s a need for it. Although life doesn’t come with a reset button, you have to be the ‘button’ yourself to give the needed push to spur you towards financial success.

Brian Suder— American serial entrepreneur, real estate consultant, full-time investor, and financial trend researcher exemplifies this; “I went from a negative bank account with a huge judgment against me to no debt, judgment paid, and a self-made millionaire. I was in a structured rehab environment that allowed me to work and connect with my focus. That is where the turning point of The Suder Company came about,” he says.

Before he became a millionaire, Brian lived a life full of hardships, trying to overcome challenges that life threw at him on a regular basis. When he was just a kid, Brian lived a life of crime working directly for the Gambino crime family. His sister died of cancer, his parents divorced and he was kicked out of his home. With these occurrences, Brian found himself between a rock and a hard place and ventured into a life of crime. However, after he obtained a business degree in college, he opted out and chose to put his past behind him and start afresh. 

Despite unfortunate events, Brian has been able to create multiple streams of income, which involve music production, real estate, and investing in cryptocurrency. 

Key Principles

However, a fact stands out. And it’s the fact that there are underlying principles that guide and govern financial success, just like any other thing in life. Brian Suder emphasizes that there are essential financial principles that can propel you towards financial success.

Some of these principles include;

Gratitude

Most people searching for success look past this essential principle. They don’t understand that the energy they place out to the universe has everything to do with what energy is being reflected towards them. When you have a true feeling of gratitude for even the simplest things in life, the universe or whomever you call your higher power will reciprocate that over and over in your life. On the other hand, if you focus on things that you hate— things that upset you, then you are reversing the love in your life. Focusing on hate will take away from your life. The angrier you get, the lower you reach.

This energy of gratitude has a way of dictating all of the other actions you take towards your success. 

Vision

The power of imagination cannot be underestimated. This is an important law of attraction. Have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, place a vision board somewhere you can be constantly reminded of it. Even amid the most tumultuous situations, your vision would often keep you going.

This is seen in how Brian can spot opportunities even in the most tumultuous situations. To exemplify this, Brian founded Home Rescue Programs, a company that worked with homeowners at the onset of the great recession in 2007, to prevent foreclosure on their homes.

Distractions

Starve your distractions and feed your focus. Whatever you channel your energy towards is what will serve you. It’s very easy to get distracted from your purpose. These forces will come in all shapes and forms. And when you channel your time and energy towards them, you become distracted from your true essence.

Giving Back

Find a cause that really appeases you and spend a portion of your time giving back to it. However, don’t be consumed by it. Place 20% of either your time or financial resources towards a true cause that is dear to your heart. Once you find success, mentor others and guide them towards their success. There’s a way the universe naturally rewards you for giving back.

Concluding Thoughts

Guard your mind with positive principles that govern your strife towards financial success. Don’t bother yourself with what others deem fit as financial success. Don’t let someone else define success for you. 

Always put yourself first. Don’t quiver, don’t fear. You will definitely achieve financial success once you set your heart to it. It may seem difficult at first, but as time goes on, you’ll find yourself achieving the financial goals you’ve set.
