Have you ever had one of the moments when it feels like you were just hit over the head with a frying pan…one of those Ah-Ha moments.
You finally wake-up and realize something so powerful it changes the entire course of your life?
I was having a drink with a very successful friend of mine and he asked me a simple but incredibly profound question:
He said “Is it worse to live in a country with no freedom, or to live in a country with total freedom and act as if you have none?”.
The question stung me…it burned. The answer was obvious…
At the time, I was working way too hard for way to little. Every year it seemed I was working more and more and was getting further and further behind. I was tired.
Not sleepy tired…emotionally, physically and mentally tired.
Exhausted actually and I was pretty much hopeless.
People never would have guessed…I walked around smiling but inside I was tired and frustrated.
The problem was I felt trapped. I felt like I had to work my job because I didn”t know what else was out there. I needed the paycheck to pay my bills…but I also realized I hated living that way.
I was acting like I had no freedom…when I have all the freedom in the world, I just wasn”t taking advantage of it.
I started to notice successful people – people who were making the most of the freedom they have.
I began studying everything about them…what they wore, what they did, how they spoke. In doing this I realized everyone who was living the life I wanted for myself…everyone who had the money and freedom I wanted, was self-employed.
They were all entrepreneurs!
I began to take a good look at the benefits of being self-employed and there are so many. Today I”ll share the one I was most excited about!
FREEDOM!
Are you aware that of the top 1% wealthiest individuals, 74% owned their own business? That ought to tell you something!
Very few people ever get wealthy working for someone else.
But there”s more to freedom than just having money. What good is the money if you don”t have the time to enjoy it?
I mean, lots of people make a decent income working jobs, but so many have to work and work and work and never have any time for family or fun. Ever drive during rush hour? Then you know exactly what I”m talking about!
True freedom john means having an unlimited income AND the time to enjoy it!
That”s what having your own business can provide for you if you choose the right business!
You can have the time to pursue your dreams instead of working every waking hour to make someone else rich.
You can wake up in the morning excited about life and the adventure that lies ahead instead of stressing over the commute or what your Boss might have to say today.
It”s time for you to enjoy YOUR life!
What would FREEDOM mean in your life?
