Financial Independence is a magical destination. The only way to get there is one small, often painful, step at a time. Oh…and missteps, too. You cannot wait to start down the road until AFTER you know what to expect, or EXACTLY how you’re going to do things. You just have to start!

Take off Like an Explorer

Think of yourself like one of the great explorers from our elementary school history books. They often took off without knowing exactly where they were going, much less exactly how to get there. Trying to get to the state of ‘Financial Independence’ is an adventure, and should be approached as such. You need a bunch of courage, a bit of arrogance, possibly a few close mates to come with you…but you will definitely NOT have a detailed map.

So, grab your backpack, strap on your boots, and set sail like an Explorer of old. Be okay with getting lost, you might find it’s better than where you thought you were going. But try not to spread smallpox or anything like that.
