I’m sure a lot of you out there are jumping for joy because it’s Friday.  No more work for a couple of days.  Then maybe sunday night you get that sinking feeling. Work tomorrow. Some of you may even go as far as dreading going to work on a Monday. You may also feel you are trapped. You need the money to pay your rent and to buy food but you desperately want to do something different but aren’t sure what. You know there has to be a better life out there.

My view is that sometimes you have to accept that it is going to get worse before it gets better. Why? Because you will have to give up your free time to do MORE work to ultimately gain the freedom you so crave. I say this because that’s what I did. The main thing for me was I got up early. I would get up at 5.30am and work for an hour and a half, sometimes 2 hours before I went to work. I would then go to work, get home around 7pm, help bath the kids and put them to bed. Have something to eat and then at least a couple of days a week I would go back upstairs into our little bedroom and do some more work. I was tired all the time. If i had a beer or a glass of wine which I enjoy I would feel even worse the next day. I was grumpy a lot of the time! Did this last forever. No. Did I quit. No. Would I do this again. If I had to, yes.

Sometimes, freedom can only be found by actually giving up what little freedom you have. If anyone tells you its going to be easy, they are not telling you the truth. It will be tough but it will be worth it. Because in the long run you will be doing something you love or at least like to do rather than doing something that you are forced to do.

One little tip. I know this is going to be hard but try to forget about money for a moment. If you could do anything in the world, what would it be. What you love. Not I’d love to be an internet marketeer when deep down you know you are only saying this because you think that it will make you rich. If you don’t love what you are doing it is really difficult to make money at it because you won’t really be fully committed. Do what you really enjoy doing and the money will follow.

Forget about get rich quick schemes, any form of gambling or make money being on somebody else’s downline. Find something you are passionate about, that you would love to talk to someone at a party about even if they found it boring! And then take the first step.

Wishing you all the best for the future

Tim
