Think about a life the place all of your time is spent on the belongings you need to do.

This e book is completely different, and it has two key themes: freedom and worth. Freedom is what we’re all in search of, and worth is the way in which to realize it

Stumbling onto Freedom

Greater than a decade in the past, I started a lifelong journey of self-employment by any means essential. I by no means deliberate to be an entrepreneur; I simply didn’t need to work for another person.

From an affordable condominium in Memphis, Tennessee, I watched what different individuals had performed and tried to reverse-engineer their success.

I began by importing espresso from Jamaica, promoting it on-line as a result of I noticed different individuals being profitable from it; I didn’t have any particular abilities in importing, roasting, or promoting. (I did, nevertheless, devour a lot of the product by way of frequent “testing.”)

If I wanted cash, I discovered to assume when it comes to how I may get what I wanted by making one thing and promoting it, not by reducing prices elsewhere or working for another person.

This distinction was important as a result of most budgets begin by earnings after which defining the accessible selections. I did it otherwise beginning with an inventory of what I wished to do, after which determining easy methods to make it occur.

The earnings from the enterprise didn’t make me wealthy, but it surely paid the payments and introduced me one thing far more priceless than cash: freedom. I had no schedule to abide by, no timesheets to fill out, no ineffective studies at hand in, no workplace politics, and never even any necessary conferences to attend.

I spent a few of my time studying how an actual enterprise works, however I didn’t let it intrude with a busy schedule of studying in cafés throughout the day and freelancing as a jazz musician at night time.

Searching for a solution to contribute one thing higher to the world, I moved to West Africa and spent 4 years volunteering with a medical charity, driving Land Rovers full of provides to clinics all through Sierra Leone and Liberia.

I discovered how freedom is related to duty, and the way I may mix my want for independence with one thing that helped the remainder of the world.

After returning to the USA, I developed a profession as a author, in the identical means, I discovered to do the whole lot else: beginning with an concept, then figuring the whole lot else out alongside the way in which.

I started a journey to go to each nation on the earth, touring to twenty nations a 12 months and working my enterprise wherever I went.

At every step alongside the way in which, the worth of freedom has been a relentless compass. There’s no rehab program for being hooked on freedom. When you’ve seen what it’s like on the opposite facet, good luck attempting to observe another person’s guidelines ever once more.
