This article is all about how a woman can become wealthy to improve the quality of her life and family. To me financial independence is living life on your terms unlike living it under your employer’s terms perpetually as an employee
The problem is that the desire for financial independence is not there for some women, so how can they live their unlived lives?. As a woman, you can’t live the best fulfilled life till you live life on your own terms, and not your employer’s terms. I have been there. Your employer demands the best hours of your days, the best days of your week, the best week of your month, the best month of your year and sometimes will demand the best day of the year which may be your birthday or any other day that is important to you.
I remember how my boss declined my vacation request to travel to attend the burial ceremony of someone who is like a mother figure to me. It was very painful and I will never forget because it was my only opportunity to pay my last respect to her.
The question is why do you need to live life on your terms and be wealthy as a woman?
One, you need your liberty, your financial liberty is being able to do what you want to do with your life without being forced to do the kind of work you don’t want. The reason is because your life has a bigger purpose than just earning a living. According to Myles Munroe., the greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a reason
Two, you need your mind to be free. As an employee we encourage you to be dedicated which is quite good. The challenge is you need a lot of thinking and creative time to do all the things aside from your job and you may not be able to afford the time because of the dedication to your job.
Three. You want to be the determinant of your value and your skill sets. As an employee, your boss determines your salary, and your status and to some degree your skills. Your employer is likely to train you or sharpen your skill only in the areas they need you
Now let’s look at the implications of not living life on your own terms
There are many of these but I will share three in this session
One, you cannot have the best quality of life. One can’t afford to buy what she needs or go to places she wants to go at the time she needs to go.
Two, one won’t have the level of value to impact the immediate family. Most people are valuable to the extent to which their employer improves them
Three. You cannot be wealthy by yourself because wealth is a team game. You create wealth as a team.
