What would your life be like of you only worked 4 hours a day, four days a week and could adjust your schedule to fit around your day? Oh, and by the way, add about 8 vacations a year to that schedule, to places like Cancun, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Australia, and South Africa. Most people work a minimum of 50 hours a week and may get 2 weeks out of a year for vacation. You might as well give your life away.
Back in the day when I had a job, I would wake up at 5 or 6 am depending on where I had to go. I would be gone all day long, out of town, and would return close to 6 or 7 pm. So did I get anything accomplished? Sure I did! I downed a whopper, large fries, and large drink. I made my boss a ton of cash and got paid just enough to provide a roof over my families head and food on the table. The thing that really gets to me is that I chose to be there. I placed myself in that situation and gave my life away to another person. I was a modern day slave. Working for peanuts and was sacrificing my time, my freedom, and my ultimate potential.
Now, as an entrepreneur, I do work around 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, and make a ton of money doing it. I have had so many memories that are so special to me that I would have missed out on if I had remained on the path I was headed down. Something that may seem small to you but is sweet to me is the sight of the wet footprints of my kids going down the hallway after their bath. I love waking up in the morning to my kids jumping on the bed. Every morning I have breakfast, at our kitchen table with my family, every day of the week, unless is just happens to be breakfast in Cancun. Gee, wouldn’t that be a bummer.
And you know what, I chose this for myself. I created this! This is how I pictured my life and I am living it to the fullest. I have myself to thank for that for making a simple choice, as well as the business I am involved in. This business creates millionaires and allows you to truly live the life of your dreams. I am a living, walking testimony of that.
