What's up ladies and gents, this is your boy Salman back again with another daily episode of Awesomeness so basically I had dream last night I have dreams almost every night but last night it was interesting there was something new with my financial goals and if you have been following me I probably broke down my financial goals in one of my previous videos so maybe go ahead and check it out I'll provide the link somewhere in the description ok but to the point to the topic why I think this is an important topic and the fact that most of us we don't...we set goals whatever goals in life financial family goals lifestyle goals but we don't set it precisely okay like for example financial goals that's the topic right now we don't put a specific number okay when you say you want to be rich ask yourself how rich okay like for example Jeff Bezos okay he's a billionaire right now he's the richest guy in the world okay for him probably success means creating a trillion dollar company for you it could be being the best dad while having time and money freedom right do you get my point so what's for me like I did say I wanted to create a hundred million dollar company that's my longer vision but if you remember let me show you on the board if you remember I wrote it down in levels so level one level two level three level 1 $500K a year level two $1,000,000 a year level three 10 million a year I didn't go further down 100 million and then a billion... We'll keep that aside but my ultimate goal like my true financial freedom or time freedom whatever you want to call it I want to be in this ten million dollar ten to twenty million dollar range you know that's my goal okay I don't honestly I don't want to be a billionaire... I don't mind but I don't need to be I don't want to be it's okay here's the difference guys here's the difference don't chase money okay sometimes you might lose your life you might lose the lifestyle you always wanted in pursuit of finance okay so choose happiness and time freedom over financial freedom I mean it's weird because financial freedom is somewhat connected to time freedom but time freedom is worth it it's more valuable because you can make money but you can't take them with you in your grave right so creating a billion dollar in this lifetime it's kind of well you know you get my point I mean you won't have enough time to even spend it so my theory and philosophy is create abundance have an abundance mentality okay so for me I want to have time freedom okay I want to buy a decent house for my mom and dad for myself well... Start a family okay I want to be able to visit my niece whenever I want to... that's time freedom that's a lifestyle freedom okay I like vacations but I like to work ... as I say. I would love to visit my friends whenever I feel like okay I want to be able to eat what I feel like so basically I want to be able to do what I feel like and if a million dollar or 10 million dollar can help me achieve those that should be it why would you chase billions when you don't need them... you get my point so success is defined differently for individual people I've seen a lot of people and one important thing stop comparison... comparing yourself with someone else is the worst thing ever worst thing ever I've done that a lot in my life and it's just it makes you look like a loser not in front of people but to yourself and you can't lie to yourself that's the worst thing okay for example if you're trying to compare yourself with Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg their levels are different okay so if you say you'll be successful if you beat them in their game well you'll always probably end up being unhappy you see what I mean like for example if you think if you're comparing yourself with Jeff Bezos I'm just using these names as an example because they're well-known and they're very common in this industry anybody any competitor you know in your industry okay just use them as an example okay if you try to compare yourself with them if you say oh you know what I'm making ten million dollars a year but that dude is making 100 million a year I'm not successful I need to beat that hundred level mark or else I'm not successful dude you're getting the whole thing wrong okay you're gonna ruin your life trust me re-evaluate your thoughts. meditate...calm down because you are far far far better than 99% of this planet so focus okay focus on what do you want... Don't measure it based on metrics or based on someone's standard. Have your own beliefs, have your own ethics okay create your own lifestyle and set your numbers okay and that's about it so for me like I said I want to make 10 million dollars a year twenty million would be nice because I want to give back as much as I can but ten million even...you know what a 1 million dollar a year will probably give me the financial freedom I need right now hell $500,000 would make it happen too no joke how many people make $500,000 a year I mean no come on man the place I came from nope nope barely barely so that's why I'm saying evaluate your goals I mean it's always good to have a lot so if you have a giving mentality it's good to have a lot because you can give more but at the same time don't sacrifice your lifestyle I wouldn't want to make 10-20 million dollars at the cost of spending quality time with my family at the cost of working out at the cost of enjoying the food I love you know what I mean at the cost of not being able to see my niece or family members when I need so time freedom is the most important thing it's the most important thing focus on time freedom as soon as you make that level in terms of your finance okay try to be responsible and delegate and never forget to protect your asset and utilize them well it's not how much you make it's how much you get to keep and how you get to use that money in order to prosper and grow in your personal life and spread around okay so always keep it strong here okay stay focused focus it's a very very tough thing man like I've been a victim so and I'm practicing it every single day I'm going to also teach you well I won't teach you I'm teaching myself and I'm going to reflect it on my videos and I hope you get to learn something from it very soon .
