How To Achieve Financial Independence Faster? Focus On Attacking Principles Rather Than Defensive Tactics

The secret to financial independence.

• Earn
• Save
• Invest

But often the focus is (too much) on saving money.

So a whole bunch of tactics is born on the internet.

• How to save money while shopping.
• This bank Vs., This insurance Vs.,
• Buy your coffee here instead of there…

But doing all this takes time and energy.

And this resource is the most precious.

It can only be invested once.

Either in these defensive tactics (saving) or on an offensive strategy (gaining more).

The offensive part offers the biggest potential. There is no limit to what you can earn, but there is a limit to what you can save.

Scouring the internet for the best plan, changing banks, and going to a place much further away to shop, takes time.

What if you invested that time to:

• Learn a new skill to accelerate your career
• Review your customer acquisition strategy
• Prepare to negotiate your next salary increase
• Look for another job that pays better

As with many things, it’s not an either/or situation. You have to mix it up and be careful to stick to the principles, not the ever-changing tactics.

After you have the few principles in place that allow you to properly manage your defense ( e.g a good broker), spend your time improving your offense.

Your potential is unlimited.
