We all tend to dream of our dream lifestyle. Think of travel, flexibility and time with our families.  Going through the day to day longing for what could be but don't take the right actions to make progress towards our dream lifestyle.  There are many ways to reach your dream lifestyle, but the secret is that you must think intentionally, compromise on the things that are less important to you and insist on what is important and that will move you towards your dreams.  The way you picture your future lifestyle makes a huge difference in your current finances. It’s ok to desire a better lifestyle, the question is,  what is your plan to get there? How realistic is the plan? Do you need to change the way you picture your future lifestyle, and do you need to work on a different plan? In this presentation, Shlomo will talk about the 5 practical principles, anyone can apply to step closer to their desired lifestyle.  There are:  1. CHOOSE TO BE LOCATION INDEPENDENT 2. SMART INVESTING

Entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and freelancers often take this path in order to control their own fate. Pursue their own lifestyle and design the life they want. It's a way of saying: "I'm different" Unfortunately,  most of the times being an entrepreneur also means being unstable financially for long periods of time. This happens because of  these 2 mindsets:  1. "I'm going to make a billion dollar exit”, therefore saving and investing now is irrelevant. It doesn't matter. This is, of course, is destructive as 99.99% of the startups don't make an exit at all, let alone a large one.  2. "I'm poor, I just started this company. I don't have money to save and invest, I'll wait until I make enough money and then start thinking about this". This is destructive. Having responsible finances, saving and investing in an early age is crucial for this future life.  On which side are you? Why are you still struggling with your finances? Why can’t you create your own fate and still be financially

As successful entrepreneurs and business owners we are all into our company. 100% financially. It’s hard to push the boulder up the mountain. Your means for having a better life is your company, right? Making more money, right? Then WHY at the end of the day, with all that success associated, you are unable to pay the bills? It’s easy to blame others. but eventually, it’s your wants that influences your finances. Impulse buying, lack of planning, wants over needs.. So, at this point what you are looking is more control. how do you do that? Key takeaways: 1. Understand how the diminishing satisfaction affect (There is another name for this which I think commonly used but I don’t remember it)  what you get out of things works, and how fast it works. 2. Understand what are your real needs in life? What are your wants? 3. How to bridge that gap of needs and wants? Get what you want without the spend.
