Nigerian Economy: 7 Steps To Gaining Financial Freedom by IsaacBuchi(m): 6:45pm On Jan 21, 2017
Ever wondered how to gain financial freedom so you have no worries about money? Are you spending more than you make and going deeper in debt? You CAN reverse that trend!

In this tough economy, I would be showing you 7 proven steps to gain financial freedom.
And at the end I’ll introduce myself for those who might be asking “who the heck is this dude?”

So read on…

The first thing you need know is this:
If you are making financial planning decisions based on how much money is in the bank right now, then you are being controlled by the money, and this usually creates a constant worry about money problems. You need to control the money to gain financial freedom; not the other way around.

Fortunately, there is a money management system that you can use to control your income and debts to get on the road to financial freedom. However, most people are completely unaware that it exists. This is not the type of financial planning involved in investments such as stocks and bonds. Here are the seven steps of business cash flow management system:

1) Accurately predict how much money is needed to operate the company this week and in the future.

Figure out exactly what has been spent, by category, over the past year. This becomes the budget. The correct definition of budget here is: the amount of money it takes for the organization or household to function and to attain its goals. That is also called the break-even point and tells you the minimum amount of income required just to stay afloat. This is the first step in effective cash flow management.

2) Figure out how to collect the amount of income needed, and more, to do better than just break even. Remember, you're going after YOUR financial freedom here.

3) Find out exactly how much you owe in bills and other debts. This takes a bit of courage to confront, but what you don't know because you're just not looking at it, can undermine your profit and wealth building progress.

4) Find out how much of your income is actually available to spend. Most people forget that when the money comes in, some of it is already committed. When you spend more than you brought in, the difference usually ends up as debt. When you are striving for financial independence, spending less than you make is critical.

5) Set aside regular amounts of cash from your income for the future - always pay yourself first and put the money in savings toward gaining financial freedom. For substantial wealth building, a minimum of 10% is recommended.

6) Portion out some of your money toward paying past-due bills, debt, current bills, and then portion out a bit for future large expenses that are difficult to pay when they come due. Careful, consistent money management can speed up your business wealth building progress.

7)
Use any money left over in ways that increase your ability to produce more income. Why is cash flow management important to a business owner? Your cash flow is the energy and life blood of a business. It is necessary to pump it through the income producing areas to keep it running well. Everything runs smoother when cash is available.

Seems simple, right?
And it is simple. This system is easily learned, and can be used to do these seven steps of Financial Planning in very little time each week. It does, however, take personal discipline and commitment to achieve the goal of financial independence so you never have to worry about money again. Done correctly and consistently, the end result is always having lots of cash on hand, all bills paid, and plenty of money in reserves to finance what you really want to do with your money; not just pay bills. Who doesn't want that, right?

To use your money wisely, you need to treat it as a resource. Correctly managing your money will determine how well your company or family will survive now and into the future. Correctly applying these seven steps of Financial Planning will make financial freedom happen for you.
