A word of Thanks
About 2 years ago, as I was searching for ways to make money, I came across a very nice man. We had coffee together in Manchester UK. He had an incredible business opportunity to offer me, which, at the time, I could not take.
Looking back I realize that meeting him took me to the next level in my financial journey, because I started listening to his motivating videos, and through his recommendations, I also started following great mentors on line. I have been listening to them, participated in their webinars, took their courses & read their books. I found these mentors motivating, elevating, educating, giving hope & confidence, and so much more. None of them knows me personally, but they have changed my life. I am grateful to each of them.
In addition, I thank my friend & mentor, who had been by my side for 13 years. Your faith in me made the difference.
Finally, I wish to thank my parents. When reading the book you may appear as a negative financial influence over me, however, you are a fundamental part of my journey, and other than finance, there is so much more to being parents.
Mom - you have always been my anchor. Moreover, to this date it constantly surprises me to see how open minded and modern you are, especially considering the primitive culture you came from. You did the impossible & raised us the best way you could, without the knowledge, but with enough cleverness to follow your motherly instincts, and raise us in an open minded home.
Dad - you had your own journey, which was not an easy one. Your help & support, especially in recent years, has been priceless. Your wisdom has given me the right direction, and I should have followed it, or consult you more often than I did.
Only as an adult, I can appreciate the true value of my parents, and cherish what they have actually done for us, regardless to the difficulties and the challenges life had presented them with.
Thank you both for supporting me with writing this book.
Prologue
Hi there, allow me to introduce myself: my name is Ilanit Freeman. I am 45. Married 10 years + 3 amazing sons ages 8, 6 and 1.5.
Since early childhood, I have always known I was born to be rich. Very rich. Now, I know that this declaration of mine tends to annoy people. Some of you will stop reading right now, thinking I am too arrogant or shallow, but for those of you who carry on reading I would like to say the following: this book focuses on money because it is a subject that I, like so many others, have been struggling with a long time. It does not mean that this is the only thing I deal with in my everyday life, or that I have no other issues or goals. It simply means that here I will talk about money and my wish to be wealthy. Ready? Let us start again:
Since early childhood, I have always known I was born to be rich. Very rich. Never asked myself why or how, I just knew deep inside me in an unquestionable way, that this is the life I was born to live. It is not just about money. It is to live life to its fullest. Do great things. Live BIG.
My parents weren’t rich. In fact, constant financial worry was a fundamental part of our lives. We weren’t very poor, but we felt poor. I grew up with what I learnt later on in life to be a lacking mindset
. The way I looked at life was through poverty glasses
, and they were the ones that conducted my behavior, my decisions, my life!
Growing up I thought that I did not need to worry. I’ll marry a rich man like they do in the movies, and that will lead me to my rich, happy, worry free life.
There was only 1 other thing that was mightier than that: I knew that I should have children. Motherhood was my destiny.
In my twenty’s my number 1 priority was to get married and have children. So, even though I went to university, and worked in different places, I didn’t bother very much with focusing on a career, as I thought I didn’t need to. It was obvious to me that soon enough I would get married and have children and become a devoted housewife.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.
The longer it took to find someone the more desperate I became. I did not knowingly look for a rich husband, but because I couldn’t find THE ONE - I was willing to settle for anyone.
This is how I entered my first relationship at age 31+. The next 3.5 years of my life have been the most miserable ones. My boyfriend didn’t treat me right. Our relationship suffered from excessive criticism, belittling, accusations and basically, lack of love & commitment. He took
