Two people earn the same money. Ten years later, one is financially free and the other is still saying "one day". The difference is four questions about your own life — and after asking hundreds of people all four, I can tell you almost none of them could answer even one.For five years I ran an accelerator for entrepreneurs at one of the big UK banks: twelve hours a week of one-to-ones, workshops every fortnight, and most of the hours in between in the room while people built the lives they said they wanted. Before that, years in Premier Banking and Lending, across the table from hundreds more people and their money. The same pattern turned up in both places, and it's why this video exists.So this is for anyone who says they want financial freedom or time freedom and can't yet put a picture, a number or a date on it. The four questions themselves. How to actually answer each one — they sound simple and they are genuinely not. Where people go wrong on every single one. And the piece of proper psychology that turns your four answers into one specific step you can take this week.I'm doing the exact same audit on myself, in public, from genuinely not being there yet. My percentage is in the video, and it'll be back every month — whether it climbed or dropped.—Everything in this video runs on The Freedom Audit, and it's free. It's the exact workbook I filled in on myself: your normal Tuesday, the Borrowed Dream Check, what that life actually costs each month (your Freedom Number), an honest look at where you are today, the size of your gap — and your first freedom move for the next seven days. It takes about twenty minutes. There are no impressive answers on it, only true ones.→ https://mariecowgill.com/go/0010-audit-podcast—MORE FROM MEStart here → https://mariecowgill.com/starthereAll free resources → https://mariecowgill.com/resourcesThe Freedom Playbook → https://mariecowgill.com/playbookWork with me → https://mariecowgill.com/workwithmarieEverything else → https://mariecowgill.com/start—Which of the four couldn't you answer before sitting down with the audit?
