FREEDOM : An embellished choice behind every entrepreneurial initiative.
JOB : Do what is being asked of you.
On the face of it - Opposites.. Right ?
Are they really ?
OK, Assuming they are today, Do they have to be necessarily that way ?
OK, It could be - for many of us. If so, then Do they have to be eternally that way ?
This blog seeks to make sense of all the opportunities and possibilities that are available to us not only to encash but also to enjoy !
Encash & Enjoy. Two eminently sought after characteristics that each of us seek in our professional careers and personal investments. Seemingly utopian to even desire it in the same breath.
Now let me take this thinking a couple of notches higher,
i.e., Enjoyment without necessarily worrying about Encashment.
That would be the state of being Financially Free.
Where our choices in our professional and personal arena are guided more by what we want to do rather than what we need to do, and the returns generated are more of a nice byproduct rather than a desired outcome.
If all this appears to be going into some spiritual zone, you are absolutely right.
And I am not done yet !!!
Let me leave you with a simple formula that I have devised for myself :
where TRIMP is Time, Relationships, Ideas, Money and People.
I am increasingly convinced that following this formula diligently can inject a lot of happiness and prosperity, across our professional and personal decisions.
Btw, you have already taken the first step towards Financial Freedom.

RESPECT "TRIMP"
INVEST in "TRIMP"
where TRIMP is Time, Relationships, Ideas, Money and People.

Great start... Looking forward to reading more mantras...
ReplyDeleteGood food for thought, though I would have preferred it little more detailed (in bullet points if you prefer) .. :)
ReplyDeleteGenerally, "RIP" needs both, Time and Money, which are two inversely proportional assets. One decreases while other goes up.
The idea is to get decent amount of both and invest in "RIP" but before that the limit of that "decent" needs to be set/adjusted according to ones' individual needs of "RIPs" outcome.
Probably a formula on how many/what kind of Relationships, Ideas and People on a time scale (5-10, 10-20, 20-30 yrs) needs to be devised.
Request your review and comments on the same .. :)
A good friend, Nimish, suggested to add an "H" to the TRIMP factor.. H for HEALTH. and so very true.
ReplyDeleteSo need to read that as the THRIMP factor (unless u come with a more easy to remember acronym). Thanks Nimish for your suggestion and encouragement.
