I think there are a lot of people in today’s economy wondering if they can give some of their extravagant purchases back to buy a little piece of mind. I speak of peace of mind in my book, ONO, and I use the word, “serenity.” Serenity is a state of mind, and because we don’t operate in a vacuum, our environment has an effect on our serenity. The financial obligations families have in their lives can undermine their peace of mind.
I know in my own life my cash flow has dropped off a bit while I have been writing my book. I feel more pinched and pressured to produce than I have in a long time, and it shows up in my ability to function at 100% on behalf of my family duties. Those duties include being emotionally available, mentally present, loving, attentive, considerate, and the biggie, available with my time.
My increased need to be productive to continue to pay for the things we have has caused me to ask, “How much does peace of mind cost?” This is a sticky subject because I would agree that you can have peace of mind in any situation, but it’s just easier to deal with this issue when you have more financial options than you do obligations. The theory of ONO involves reaching financial simplicity through spending disciplines and multiple streams of income.
My intent of this blog is to heighten your awareness that with a plan you can simplify your financial lives, still keep you family first, and buy a bit of peace of mind. I believe serenity is, or should be a top priority for Family First Entrepreneurs.
