FINANCIAL FREEDOM DAY

Question 6 of the Gap Analysis asks, “What do you want?”
The first step on this road to making you a millionaire is to create and clarify your vision. Before you start, you
might want to ask yourself why you are doing this. A vision is big. It’s bigger than a goal, and it’s bigger than an
objective. For example, an objective is to get out of debt. A goal might be to buy the new car or pay for the kids to
go to college. But a vision is the greater umbrella under which all these goals and objectives come together, through
specific strategies that support the vision and tactics that support those strategies. Understanding what a vision
means, and really wanting that vision, is important. If you’re just out to buy a new boat, then this book is too big for
you and I may have you go in a direction that, ultimately, you don’t want to go. It’s your job to consider where it is
you want to go.
I’ll help you see your vision by sharing with you my vision for you in reading this book.
The Vision: Financial freedom. The capacity to have your assets generate enough cash flow to maintain a
superior standard of living that supports the optimal life you want to live forever.
The Strategy: I will help you create assets and generate wealth, incrementally and in some cases exponentially.
The wealth will come to legal entities from multiple revenue streams generated by your assets.
The Tactics: By using the right sequence of building blocks, you will take a systematic, practical, and tactical
approach to create and continuously increase your wealth. If you have any questions on your sequence or your
approach, please feel free to call my Strategists at any time. As I’ve mentioned, wealth building is a team
sport, and I want my team to get bigger and bigger.
I agree with the philosophers who say the journey is its own reward, because I know that once you’re fully into
this one, it will become a lifelong compulsion and desire. But I also believe that the journey will be most rewarding
if there is a specific point to which your compass is set. It is your responsibility to clarify your vision. It will help
you better embrace the time and effort you are going to put into this commitment.
In order to keep you motivated, the vision needs three key components. It must be exciting enough to fuel your
energies, reasonable enough to be doable, and it must never compromise your values. It’s a balancing act between
your ultimate wish list, perhaps even the dream you put aside when you were a child, and your life as it is, and has to
be, at the moment.
When you create your vision, you have to exercise No-Limit Thinking. You have to imagine what your life
would look like if it were impossible to fail. With this type of thinking, your vision will expand. We all have the
capacity to be financially free. It’s our responsibility to choose that course, to claim the power and get what we
deserve: Financial Freedom Day.

Financial Freedom Day

This is why your vision is so important. People who lack a clear vision are like ships without rudders: they sail
aimlessly and without a final destination. They may head toward opportunities that appear on the horizon, but then
veer off course, unable to reach them.
Given that your vision is a concept or an idea, we need to quantify that vision with a measurable goal in order to
best map out a strategic plan to get you there. As you saw in each of the case studies, in order to declare your
Financial Freedom Day you need to decide

1. How much cash flow you need to receive each month
2. What you want your net worth to be
3. The specific day, month, and year you want this to occur
