Not everyone achieve financial freedom in life even though almost all of us dream about it; and very few succeed in this field. The reason for that is not that some are born to succeed and others to fail; it does not even depend on outside circumstances but entirely on the individual.

(1)Too Focus on problems

Challenges are part of life and we all face them in our daily life. Sometimes, we create them, sometimes, others around us create them and in many cases they are beyond our control. Let me tell you one thing folks situations cannot hold us back unless we allow them to do so. How do we do that? By being too focus on them, we plunge ourselves in a world full of stress and worries, so lost in it that we fail to see the opportunities in front of us. 

the bible clearly says: My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. (James Chp1)

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

Sometimes we have to take our eyes and mind off our problems and make room for positive thoughts. Our mind and heart need rest and a bit of space to prepare a plan, to take good decisions.

(2) No patience

Many people are in a hurry to make plenty of money in very little time. It's the old same song: " Financial freedom cannot be achieved overnight".

We hear a lot of talks about successful people. We read and listen to their success stories in magazines and on TV. On the internet they tell us that we can "make $500 everyday" or " make $3000 every month" like them. Those are not necessarily scams. People achieving success or claiming to make such amount every week or month have struggled a lot to set a business be it online or offline.  Through a series of trial and error over a couple of months or years, they have gradually and patiently worked their way through their financial freedom. Things are now more stable and easier for them. Meet those people and they will tell you that there are lots of work and pain involved. 

(3) Laziness and lack of courage

We dream a lot and talk a lot but do less. Mum always
