freedom comes first

Freedom comes first in business

mindset Aug 15, 2024

Let’s cut to the chase—are you living your life, or is your life living you?

Too many people are trapped in a cycle of treating life like a never-ending job, and their job like it’s their entire life. Here’s the thing: you’ve probably had it backwards for far too long.

So, ask yourself—what do you really have to show for the last decade?

  • A house that feels more like a box than a home?
  • Vacations you barely enjoy because work is always on your mind?
  • Money in the bank but no time or energy to spend it the way you want?
  • A family that sees you, but only in passing?

Let’s be real.

If this sounds like you, it’s time to take a step back and ask, what was it all for?

Life is short, it's pointless wasting it not doing the things that matter. There are more ways to earn a living and build a business than there are days in a year. So, do you really want to keep doing it this way? 

If it's working - awesome. If you're happy -awesome.

If you are working hoping one day it will all somehow change - maybe it's time to ask that question.

Freedom Comes First

Here’s the deal: You’re supposed to be doing this for freedom. You’re supposed to be living with meaning, purpose, and control over your time. But somewhere along the way, you got tangled up in the grind. Guess what? It’s not too late to turn it around.

This is your wake-up call to flip the script:

  • Focus on freedom first. Freedom to choose how you spend your time, who you spend it with, and where your energy goes.
  • Find meaning and purpose first. Life’s too short to waste it on things that don’t light you up.
  • Prioritise having options. Real power is having the choice to do whatever the hell you want.

Now, Let’s Get Practical

Talk is cheap if there’s no action behind it, right? So here’s what you can do to start reclaiming your life:

  1. Define Your Freedom

    What does freedom look like for you? Is it more time with family? The ability to work from anywhere? More space for creativity? Be specific. You’ve got to know what you’re aiming for before you can make it happen.

  2. Find Meaning in What You Do

    Stop just working for the paycheck. Your work should be something that feeds your soul. If it’s not, you need to start realigning. What fires you up? How can you bring more of that into your daily grind? Start small if you have to, but make it intentional.

  3. Build in Flexibility

    Don’t box yourself in. Flexibility is key. Whether it’s setting aside time to learn something new, pursuing a side hustle, or making space for downtime, having options is what keeps you in control. You want to be able to pivot when life throws a curveball, right?

It’s Not Too Late to Take Control

It’s never too late to turn things around. If you’ve felt stuck, drifting, or just plain tired of running on the hamster wheel, this is your moment. Real change starts when you start aligning your actions with your goals.

  • Set Your Intentions: Be clear about what you want. Don’t leave it to chance.
  • Make a Plan: Map out how you’re going to get there. This isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s strategy.
  • Take Action Today: The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll see the shift. No excuses. Take one small step today. Then another tomorrow. It adds up, trust me.

Your Life, Your Terms

Remember, you’ve got one life. It’s time to start living it on your own terms. The path to freedom, purpose, and options isn’t just for the lucky few—it’s for anyone willing to make it a priority. So take control. Make today the day you start building the life you actually want, not the one you feel stuck in.
