This is an article that discusses the importance of “WHY” in the process of achieving financial freedom. Without a “WHY”, you go nowhere in your journey to financial freedom. Let’s find out more below.

Do you want to achieve financial freedom? If Yes, do you have the concrete reasons on WHY you must achieve it?

I have a few friends who also like me and want to achieve financial freedom in their life. However, they never take any practical actions or have any serious plans to achieve it. All of them know what they want for their life. They want to stop working for money. They want to travel around the world at their young age. Some of them even want to watch their favorite football team practicing every day. So I can say that they know the “WHAT” they want for their life. They want to achieve financial freedom!

However, they never take any practical actions or have any plans to leverage on their job and become financial free. They just keep thinking their dream but never take any serious actions to achieve it.

Do you know why they act like this? This is because they don’t have any strong reasons to support their “WHY” to achieve financial freedom.


The WHYs for Being Financial Free

You want to achieve financial freedom but it only just an end results that you want. In fact, it is nothing and it won’t give any motivation for you. Just like my friends, they want to stop working for money and do something that they want to do. They know the lifestyle (end results) that they want but it only a dream for them if they don’t take any serious actions.

Knowing the “want” is not enough to support you to achieve financial freedom. You must know your WHYs to support your dream and your “WANT”, so that you will take actions.

A “WANT” usually is a pleasure and “WHY” is usually a pain for us. According to the world famous success coach, Anthony Robbins, human always act to avoid pain and gain pleasure and the power to avoid pains is usually greater than the power to gain pleasure.

So from here we know that it is not enough motivation for us if we only know what we want. It only a pleasure for us and pleasure has the least effect over our motivation. So we must build some WHYs around to add more will power on our goals. If you have the enough why to do something, your mind and body will take action automatically!


My Suggestions on the WHYs to Achieve Financial Freedom

If possible, please think some of the most financial pains that you have right now or before as your main reasons.

For example, before this the main reason why I want to achieve financial freedom was I don’t want to work hard like others to make money. However, this why is not strong enough and I never take any serious actions at that time.

Until one day I found my new why that I want to achieve financial freedom because I don’t want to have those financial disasters that my parent had – being in debt and not enough money. My parent has no choice and suffers from not enough money for so many years. From them I know that the pain of not enough money and also lack of choice. Then I set my mind that I build enough wealth to let both my parent and me financial free!

Well, after that I start to take some serious action and I can feel that I’m approaching my goal every day.

Besides that please change and modify your way according to your personal experience. The more actions I take, the more I learn and my experience are kept increasing. So through my new experience, I will modify and add more WHYs to support my goal so that I am motivated and take more action easier.

Last but not least, write your whys down. For me I type it in my planning excel file and save it in my notebook. I will open it every day and read through it. So I can remind that I made a goal to achieve financial freedom with several whys I must do this.


Conclusion

Please remember that reasons or WHYs can be your great motivation power. Besides achieve financial freedom, we also can use this theory and apply it in any goal that we want to achieve. So if you found that you are not motivated enough to take some action towards your goals, then your WHYs are not strong enough. So you just think some concrete and reasonable WHYs for your goal, write it down and read it every day. Then you will be motivated enough to take action.
