Award-Winning Author Says, "Claim Your Financial Independence on the 4th of July with These 5 Success Tips"

Humble, TX, June 25, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The summer months are great for family, friends, and sharing, but they can be a nightmare for anyone who is struggling financially, says Michael J. Rhodes, president of www.ancientelderspress.com and creator of the Billionaire Mindset Guidebook and CD Series. Financial sabotage is one of the leading epidemics in our country, with the average family carrying $3,000-$15,000 in credit card debt and over 43% of Americans spending more than they earn each year.

Anyone can begin their path to financial independence by following these 5 simple guidelines:

Never focus on becoming debt free. That’s a “break even” mentality. Focus on saving, investing, and financial growth. In time, this will move your finances from the negative to the positive.
Define what financial independence means to you. How much money, time, or assets do you need in order to be comfortable and independent?
List the benefits for becoming financially independent. These benefits will become your motivation to take action.
Establish your plan of action and start now. Use success models from the financial experts and meet with licensed and qualified financial planners to learn how your investments can grow.
Reward yourself along the way. Financial milestones take action and time. Rewards are a great way to keep you focused and motivated as you leap your hurdles and overcome challenges.

Michael has prepared a financial mindset quiz on www.ancientelderspress.com to determine whether someone is in danger of subconscious sabotage. He also gives tips for creating financial and personal success.
