Remember in college Psych class you learned about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?
Basically, there were 5 levels when Maslow first defined it. Now, they've added a few more for a total of 8 levels of needs to achieve self-actualization. And, Maslow hypothesized, that only 2% of our society achieve this. Where are you in the levels?
Biological/ Physiological Needs: air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep. Safety Needs: protection from the elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear. Love/ Belongingness Needs: friendship, intimacy, affection & love, from work group, family, friends, romantic relationships. Esteem Needs: achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, self-respect, respect from others. Self-Actualization Needs: realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth & peak experiences.Now let me tell you my story.
Point is:
If your basic needs (level 1 & 2) are not being taken care of, personally or financially, you won't have the space in your mind to focus on building the bigger things in life. By making your regular needs automated, personally and financially, you are able to free up that space to focus, create and build your wealth.Resources mentioned in this episode:
