The answer to that is simply what ever you want! Yesterday, Monday, I took my family out to watch Shrek 3. I took them to the 2pm showing. Now that may seem like something little, but for me, it is huge. How many Dad’s were at work away from their families? I know where I would have been. I would have been out making someone else money while being paid peanuts worrying about whether or not I would be able to have the money I needed to make the bills, especially if my family went to the movies. I’m not joking. That is how bad it was.
But that’s not how it is now. I choose when I work and when I play. Well, I mostly play because I only work about 3 or 4 hours a day. But yesterday, I choose to work only about an hour and a half and still made money. What a business this is! I’ll tell you what…..there is no other business that I know of that will allow you the financial and time freedom that this one will.
How many times have you gone to the movies with your family on a Monday afternoon, as a working parent? It’s not my first and will definitely not be my last. I was actually thinking of just packing up and taking a trip to Colorado or San Diego. I can take my business with me and you know what? I will make more money while doing that than I would staying here at home. I find that when I am having the most fun I make the most money. Isn’t that how life should be? Everyone should be able to make money while on the beach in Cancun or in the Rockies on the lake. That is life. That is living.
I love my life and the business that has provided it for me. It has been the catalyst and the vehicle that I have used to live my life on my terms, and I am grateful. I will never miss another first step, a 2 PM Monday movie, a lost tooth, a school play, a sports game, or just a simple day to day conversation that is needed from Dad by just simply being there. What’s important to you? Now, what are you going to do about it?
