Freedom

Some people wonder why I spend time building a business online rather than going out and getting a ‘real job.’ … The simple answer is “I want freedom!”

Freedom to jump on a plane to go visit friends and family anywhere in the world whenever I want.

Freedom to try and help make the world a better place. To be able to use a lot of money and time developing systems that will empower others to step forward with ideas and help make the world a better place too.

Freedom to help my friends and family any way I choose, freedom to walk into any store and buy anything I want without looking at the price tag.

Freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want, with whom I want, all the time.

Most people want this kind of freedom but most people just won’t do anything about it.

Are you most people?

Or are you like me?

I’m a person with huge goals and dreams who’s ready to do whatever it takes to get what I want, to have that freedomand if that means spending a few hours daily building an extra stream of income that will then pay me over and over and over and over again, indefinitely, then it is so worth it!

I have done the daily 9 to 5 grind, listened to family and friends and cared about what they thought about how I should live my life and had a lack of freedom in my life. I have been stuck in the rat for years doing every day what I thought was the only option open to me and what’s worse, I taught my children to think the same way.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that my friends and family deliberately steered me in the wrong direction, they were just as misdirected as I was, in fact, we are all products of centuries of misinformation feed to us glibly by people who want us to stay in mindless jobs working for pittance……(but that is another story!), people who don’t want us to have freedom.

Thankfully, I discovered the internet and some fantastic people who helped show me that there are more than just old fashioned ways to make money, that you do not have to stay with the sheeple mentality, that freedom is not just a dream. My time and skills are worth much more than what ‘they’ tell me they are worth, I get to choose how I live my life, where and with whom. I am my own boss and I am responsible for my own actions and my own future and I have freedom!

How do I fund that though? Do I have a special money tree hidden away that I use to pay for these grand dreams and goals? Well……….almost.

As I said, I work online, I sell marketing products to people that help them sell other products effectively using the internet. I makes me a huge amount of money and it takes me 3-4 hours a day. Doing this has given me back my confidence, my self esteem, it has shown me that I am valuable and that my time and skills are valuable, it allows me to help others reach the same place that I am, it has given me hope and integrity and most of all it has let me grow into the person I always wanted to be, it has given me freedom! I am strong, I am kind, I am valuable, I have integrity, I am a leader, I am fun and I am appreciated, I am at last, me.
