Overing Obstacles
Once people have studied and bee financially literate； they may still face roadblocks to being financially independent。 There are five main reasons why financially literate people may still not develop abundant asset columns。 Asset columns that could produce large sums of cash flow。 Asset columns that could free them to live the life they dream of； instead of working full time just to pay bills。 The five reasons are：
1。 Fear。
2。 Cynicism。
3。 Laziness。
4。 Bad habits。
5。 Arrogance。
Reason No。 1。 Overing the fear of losing money。 I have never met anyone who really likes losing money。 And in all my years； I have never met a rich person who has never lost money。 But I have met a lot of poor people who have never lost a dime。 。 。investing； that is。
The fear of losing money is real。 Everyone has it。 Even the rich。 But it's not fear that is the problem。 It's how you handle fear。 It's how you handle losing。 It's how you handle failure that makes the difference in one's life。 That goes for anything in life； not just money。 The primary difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they handle that fear。
It's OK to be fearful。
