We need money in order to get nourishment, shelter, education, entertainment and even self development.

I have often heard people say that “money doesn’t make you happy”, but I would say, it’s better to be miserable living in a mansion than on the streets.
The truth is we don’t need to be miserable to be rich.  We don’t need to be miserable and poor either.  Financial wealth is not a guarantee for happiness, but it does make the pursuit of happiness a lot easier.

To be financially independent means different things to different people. To some it means having millions in the bank, to others it means having a well paid and secure job.  Whatever it means to you, it is achievable and very quickly so.

For me, to be financially independent means to have the freedom to spend whatever I want on whatever I want at any time. It means having my own business where I provide secure jobs to several employees, it means being able to create positive results in people’s lives and in our society (something which I am working).

Financial independence gives me the freedom to spend my time developing tools that people can have to improve their lives and the time to meet with others who are doing the same type of work. It also means the freedom to travel to Europe whenever I want, to spend a couple of weeks on a Cruise if I so wished, to fly first class, to stay at the top hotels in the world, to go to the best restaurants and drive the most luxurious cars.  I also like beautiful things, so being able to spend money in art, music, handbags, shoes, clothes, houses and beauty spa treatments is also important to me.

Once I have more money than I can spend, I can also give to those who don’t have it. I can write checks to my favourite charity Outpost For Hope, or sponsor a child in South America.  I can save the whale, give to my local women’s shelter, donate to the Animal Protection shelter… the list is endless.  I can only do these things with having more income than outgoings in my daily needs.
I had tons of "beliefs" about money as well as what I was "allowed to receive" that were very negative and which stopped me from achieving a lot of things. 
One of the tools that came my way when I used the Seven Step System described in the free ebook you can download in my page as well as in the Fast Guide Series, was the Guided Meditation from Elizabeth Divine, my friend and fellow traveler in this life journey.  This meditation brought up lots of things I had to do in order to be able to receive freely and change my mind about money.
I am still following the seven steps and getting great results every day! I do have a long way to go before I feel I have accomplished my goals in this area of my life.

One of the biggest challenges I have found, and one that is described in the Fast Guides as well as in the free ebook "Inelia's Seven Step System", is the way in which traditional Law of Attraction methods as well as other self help systems seem to loose steam for me after a few days or weeks.  I don't see the results I want and I lose faith in them, or simply forget to carry on with the exercises. I describe the solution for this particular problem in my article "Why don't my intentions come true? ". If you have been trying system after system for attracting wealth, or whether this is the first time you are going to try a system, read the instructions on what to do as this will shift things pretty fast.
