To be a great leader involves being aware of where you are and where you are trying to go. The road to success starts with a plan and being aware of what you have to do to achieve it.

I know I want to become financially independent. In order to do that, I must take the steps now to put this goal in place.

The first step is being aware of the factors that are limiting my ability to build wealth. The first road block is my social life. The frequent happy hours, dinners, and activities I do cost a lot of money over time.

I have decided to start putting myself on strict budget and limit my extracurricular activities. This has helped me prioritize my life and refocus on my goals.

I took one small step to reduce spending and this has resulting with me getting back on track to becoming financially independent. Now I am able to save more and spend more time working on my side businesses.

I truly believe if you sacrifice now, you will see the results later in life! What could you give up now to create a better future later? We all have the ability to be a leader in our own lives. Start taking charge and be aware of how small acts can turn in to bigger changes later!

“Awareness is the birthplace of possibility. Everything you want to do, everything you want to be starts here. To be a successful visionary, you must be as aware as possible. At every moment many paths lead forward. Awareness tells you the right one to take.” – Deepak Chopra
