What does freedom appear to be for you?

It’s solely after having youngsters 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 present me a few of my time again within the long-term. The deal was to search out one thing that fills my cup, offers me time to stay my life and be a mum, and nonetheless be getting cash.

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 need true time and monetary freedom in order that I may be there for my household and for myself, and actually get pleasure from this journey of the one life we’ve to stay.

While my youngsters 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. (Deliver it on!)

Since I give up 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 each time I need.

Nonetheless, I nonetheless wish to make sufficient cash as a freelancer and solopreneur. So in the meanwhile, I really feel like I must hustle fairly onerous to get my techniques in place, and maintain the revenue coming in.

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

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

Simpler mentioned than performed. The aim is to have the ability to make US$10,000 per 30 days inside a yr. I need 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 dwelling. Nonetheless, I’ll confess I’m working an excessive amount of for them, which defeats the aim.

This additionally signifies that I must consciously allocate time for my youngsters as I’m round them at dwelling. In any other case, what’s the level? Clearly I can’t wait until I’ve hit my US$10K per 30 days to spend time with my youngsters.

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

• The primary 3 minutes once they get up

• The primary 3 minutes if you see them after a protracted separation, ie once they come dwelling from faculty or if you come dwelling 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 components of the day when I’m interacting with my youngsters.

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

How a lot am I keen to surrender at first for long-term acquire? What’s the long-term acquire 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 folks after I can

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

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

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

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

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