If you are free from any responsibilities, you are probably selfish or wasting your life.
But many entrepreneurs started their business to have more freedom. That is, they don’t want to answer to anybody, and want to do what they want when they want.
Well, how’s that working out? Most find they have far less freedom. They answer to customers, employees, and feel the constant pull on every minute of their time, and struggle mightily to keep up for fear that it will all fall apart – and to pay the bills and make payroll.
Here’s a test –
Would you say you have financial freedom?
Would you say you have time freedom?
Would you say you have attention freedom?
Good morning, I would say that having financial freedom is good because it erases some worry. For me personally, I love being involved with my team and having the time freedom to give them what they need when they need it. That same theory applies for attention freedom. Thank you for this message today. They seem to always align where I am at the moment in time.
Happy Labor Day, everyone. I hope you all enjoy the time and the people you are around!
Why did we start our business? That’s a good question and I would be interested in hearing the various reasons from your readers. For me it was about freedom to build the business and not just be an employee in it. I was very young when I started and my goal was always to build the business bigger and better. Now that I’m older and more experienced my focus is more inline with the typical financial and time freedom. You have to invest time and effort before you can gain those freedoms though. Freedom isn’t free!
