To create a smart life for yourself you need first and
foremost a positive mindset that is to be confident that you can create a smart
life, since others are doing it using the same method. What I am here
advocating is creating a smart life through an honest means not in criminal way
in disobedience to the Law of the Land.
There are 5 steps you must take to achieve this;
(1). GET SPECIALIZE
KNOWLEDGE.
Knowledge is of two types according to Mr. Napoleon Hill,
there are ‘(a) General Knowledge and (b) Specialized Knowledge’. The former did
not create a smart life while the later really help you to create a smart life for
yourself, a word of caution specialized Knowledge alone did not create a smart
life but when it is organizes into a definite plan of Actions. Here how Mr.
Hill puts it; “Knowledge will not attract money unless it is organized and
intelligently directed through practical plans of action to the definite end of
accumulation of money.” So from the following you can create a smart life from
your kind of Specialized Knowledge that you acquire, but the level of your smart
life is directly depends on how diligent you are. What is your Specialized
Knowledge?
Here is where Coping comes to play look around you and see anything
that is paying well and is trending will be good if you also like to do it. A specialized knowledge is skills you can
acquire such as: copywriting, digital marketing, graphic and web design, photo
editing, etc. Always choose something that you really love or have passion for
and enjoy doing every time and anyway!
Specialized Knowledge is the vehicle that will take you to
the kind of smart life you desire for yourself, so be careful when choosing it,
this now leads us to the next step;
(2).DEFINITE PURPOSE.
Mr. Hill define definite purpose as “the knowledge of what
you wants, and a burning desire to possess it” thus having acquired your
Specialized Knowledge as the means to get the kind of life you wants you make
sure you follow it up as if your very existence depends on it. It time to use
all tools at your disposal to direct this task until you receive your desire
result, the question here is what did you want to be in the future? Let these
Desire motivate you to work wholeheartedly on your chosen path and to get there!
(3). GOALS
Goals can be seen as the lines of actions you really need to
take to achieve your definite purpose in life, how did you go about setting
Goals? You must be sure that your goals are written, also it is measurable, it
will be realized and you set a time limit for it. When you sets a goal, please
start work on it immediately, even very little will do the magic always follow
your goal to completion before setting another, that is where self-discipline
comes to play, thus next steps;
(4). SELF-DISCIPLINE.
Self-discipline will help you to remain on track and work
within the boundary of your Desire pursuit, so you really need self-discipline.
This is how Mr. Brian Tracy in his Book Goals defined Self-discipline as “the
ability, within your-self, based on your strength of character and willpower,
to do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or
not.” So it is self-discipline that will really help you to remain committed to
your definite purpose in life, until you achieve it.
(5). INVEST, INVEST
AND INVEST.
Let me assume that you have followed the above steps closely
and are ripping the fruits of your labor, what is the next line of action to be
taken by you to achieve your ultimate goals of living a smart life! You need to
Invest some proceed, in both yourself to acquire more knowledge in your field
and in another business that will help you to maintain multiple streams of
income to help you grow to financial independence. But before investing your
money in any business, please try and get expert advice on the said business so
as not to waste your hard earn money on what that did not work!
If you follow the above steps closely the sky will be your
limit in achieving your lofty goal of living a smart life, and you will not
anymore have financial worries.
