What does freedom appear to be for you?

It’s solely after having children have I assumed a lot about my time. As a result of I all the time really feel like I’ve none of it.

I began engaged on aspect initiatives about 2 years in the past to see what I can do to provide me a few of my time again within the long-term. The deal was to seek out one thing that fills my cup, offers me time to reside my life and be a mum, and nonetheless be being profitable.

I like working. And I wish to work. However I additionally wish to select what I work on, and after I work. And, I wish to make sufficient cash to not have to fret about it.

I would like true time and monetary freedom in order that I might be there for my household and for myself, and actually get pleasure from this journey of the one life we have now to reside.

While my children are small, that is actually an important factor. Though, I hear as they develop up they might not need us as a lot, however they want us extra – particularly of their adolescent years as they go into their teenagers. (Carry it on!)

Since I stop my job to go solo and work on my initiatives, I’ve gained time freedom. In different phrases, I’m selecting when to work. I nonetheless have deadlines, however so long as I hit them, I can work at any time when I would like.

Nonetheless, I nonetheless wish to make sufficient cash as a freelancer and solopreneur. So for the time being, I really feel like I have to hustle fairly onerous to get my methods in place, and preserve the earnings coming in.

1. Prioritise work that pays (i.e. my freelance work), which has been nice, however for the time being it’s not scalable. Maybe AI may also help me right here transferring ahead.

2. Additionally prioritise constructing work and methods which might be scalable that may be automated over time, so I can get nearer to the time and monetary freedom I’m in search of.

Simpler mentioned than carried out. The objective is to have the ability to make US$10,000 monthly inside a yr. I would like to have the ability to generate this at least, with out having to burn the midnight oil.

I’m proud to say that in first 2 months of me going solo, I’ve been engaged on initiatives that may collectively invoice about US$8,000, in order that’s US$4000 / month working from residence. Nonetheless, I’ll confess I’m working an excessive amount of for them, which defeats the aim.

This additionally signifies that I have to consciously allocate time for my children as I’m round them at residence. In any other case, what’s the level? Clearly I can’t wait until I’ve hit my US$10K monthly to spend time with my children.

I just lately learn that these are an important instances in a toddler’s day:

• The primary 3 minutes once they get up

• The primary 3 minutes while you see them after an extended separation, ie once they come residence from faculty or while you come residence from work

• The final 3 minutes earlier than they go to mattress

Makes complete sense proper? So up to now few weeks I’ve consciously began listening to these 3 elements of the day when I’m interacting with my children.

In order I construction this new solopreneur lifetime of mine, I’m compelled to assume onerous about what freedom means for me now and what I would like it to imply sooner or later.

How a lot am I prepared to surrender to start with for long-term achieve? What’s the long-term achieve I’m searching for? What are my non-negotiables?

All I do know for the second is:

• I wish to work doing issues I get pleasure from

• I wish to add worth to individuals after I can

• I don’t wish to compromise on time with my children

• I wish to make a constant earnings that’s equal to what my full time wage could be

• I wish to design my work round my life, fairly than the opposite method spherical

If I can obtain the above, I’ll by no means should ‘retire’ 🙂 

My largest concern is getting too previous to do the issues I’ve all the time wished to. They should occur earlier than ‘retirement’ age.
