Your Last Step to Financial Freedom

 Your Last Step to Financial Freedom, Aryan Chaudhary, 2021

This book deals more with the mental aspects of being an entrepreneur, than it does to describe “The Hottest Way to Earn Extra Money.”

Passion and energy are both absolute requirements, no matter what your product or service is. Having just one or the other is not good enough. Consider adopting an action mantra, a saying that will keep you going forward through thick and thin. Look at successful people in your area of business; consider following their footprints. There is no need to be fastest in a particular area. It is very acceptable to be second fastest; that way, you can learn from Number One’s mistakes. Failing is totally OK. It shows that you are doing something. Wrong action is better than inaction.

Mindset is another important part of success. Are you a person who thinks “I can do this” or “I can’t do this?” A habit is a regular tendency or practice, usually one that is hard to give up. Among the individual parts of habits are commitment, discipline, focus and setting (and implementing) goals. Developing a growth mindset can be helped by immersing yourself in quality content (like books, podcasts and online videos). Don’t be so hard on yourself, and don’t try to be perfect. Stop trying to please everyone else. Give before you ask and stop complaining. Do what is needed, not what you want. Leave things better than you found them.

Forget about creating multiple streams of income. It is much more important to acquire multiple skills (like blogging, coding or digital marketing). An income stream without the required skill is a recipe for failure. Learning a new skill requires daily practice. Learning any skill can lead to learning related skills; don’t limit yourself to learning just that one skill. Find your best move, or moves, and practice to perfection.

This is an excellent book. The mental part of being an entrepreneur is just as important, maybe more important, than finding the hottest money-making trends. It is very much worth reading.
