Financial Freedom: 5 Steps to Success

STEP 1: You Need a Vision. 

Without a dream or a goal, you will just drift aimlessly. 

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)

Dare to dream. Dream big dreams. Have a vision for your future. 

STEP 2: You Need a Plan.

To get from where you are to accomplishing your goals, you need a plan. 

“Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5)

Plan well. Set up a strategy, a step-by-step process to move you from where you are to where you want to be. 

STEP 3: Get Advice.

When we don’t get expert advice, our plans often fail. When we get the right advice, and we set up the right structures and strategies, we give ourselves a better chance of accomplishing our goals.  

“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.” (Proverbs 15:24)

Getting the right advice will lead to a successful outcome.

STEP 4: Act On Your Plans. 

Don’t just talk out your plans. Talk is cheap. You need action.

“Hard work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty.” (Proverbs 10:23)          

Don’t be lazy. If you want success, you need to work at it.

“Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.” (Proverbs 13:4)

God’s word is clear. Those who work toward their goals will succeed.

STEP 5: Commit Your Plans to God.

Don’t try to go after your dreams and goals alone. The Creator of the universe wants to help you. Surrender your dreams to God. Consult God about your plans. Ask him to help you.  

“Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.” (Proverbs 16:3)

When you commit your plans to God, you will succeed.
