If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning. Carl Rogers

More and more people around the globe are starting to pursue an independent modality of education. The Internet has made it possible. Now that we are in the Information Age, a good education is literally at the tips of our fingers. Only 10 or 20 years ago concepts like e-learning, distance learning, self study and informal learning were unthinkable of.

Nevertheless, independent ways of learning are as old as humankind.

And they are by far the most effective.

Why?

Because self-directed learning brings freedom!

Here are 7 reasons why:

1.- Freedom to engage in an area of your own choice rather than following a curriculum designed by another. Each one of us has a distinctive, God-given blend of talents and gifts that need to be exploited individually.

2.- Freedom to pick your mentor and enjoy one-on-one attention from him or her. This is the way kings were educated! Throughout history the tutorial education method has forged great men and women.

3.- Freedom to design your own schedule. Imagine yourself getting up in the morning. No running, no stress. You can sit in front of your computer in your pyjamas, sipping a cup of coffee while you study out your favorite subject!

4.- Freedom to delve into the subject of your choice with passion and joy. There are no limits as to what you can learn once you are enraptured with your own learning process. Education will never be boring again.

5.- Freedom to gain a level of excellence. After a season of studying and developing your skills and talents, you will be an expert and people will come to you for help.

6.- Freedom to pursue God's plan for your life. Have you ever wondered if that dream that comes to your mind every now and then, is really from God? Maybe it is time to seriously pursue it!

7.- Eventually self-directed learning will lead you to financial freedom. Your passion can become your career!

Becoming a self-made millionaire is not easy work, unless you get luck. So how do you become a millionaire?

2. Becoming a millionaire takes having an ability to solve problems. By solving problems, self-made millionaires have the uncanny ability to create and provide value. When you can do that people are willing to pay top dollar for your service, experience and work.

3. Becoming a millionaire takes patience. Being a part of the affluent class does not (usually) happen in short periods of time. You have to see the big picture, have a long-term goal and realized the little bits and pieces will eventually evolve into great wealth.

4. Becoming a millionaire requires controlling emotions. Self-made millionaires at times have to take substantial risks, which means making decisions because of a set of rules or strategy, and not based on emotion.

5. Becoming a millionaire requires creating your own luck. When being in the right place in the right time and having things constantly work out in your benefit happens all of the time, it is not actually luck.
