Everybody has a different opinion on what they consider freedom. Freedom from what or for what?
There are time, money, ideas, restraints, hobby, and other things that might be YOUR freedom.
First, ask yourself...what do you consider freedom? How does your freedom look? Here are some ideas or tips on how to create your own freedom.
We will use S.T.E.P.S. to show you what you need to do to create your own freedom.
1. STEP
Step out of your comfort zone.
It is easier to sit and watch TV in the evening or relax on Sunday watching sports. Your idea or business will not grow if you do not spend a lot of time planning and working on your business.
Create a different lifestyle and speed to succeed.
If building a business was effortless, there would be a lot more successful people.
2. TIME
Time is such a precious commodity.
Once it has passed and gone, there is no retrieving time. It is only sometimes possible to spend a lot of time in your business, especially if it is not your main activity.
Create the time every day to devote to your business.
You can keep a time schedule because if you are socializing, it can take up a lot of time to read ALL the posts.
Instead of following your daily routine, use every moment you can to plan and build on your idea.
3. EXECUTION
Every day you have to take ONE action, one step for your business.
Action creates forward momentum. And before you know it, you are taking several action steps toward building your business.
If you don't start, nothing will happen.
4. PLAN
Planning is probably the MOST important part of your business.
You will get mired in all the daily minutia of living and doing stuff. When you have a plan, you know the next steps of action.
Plan your week, month, and year. You will have a global view of your activities and not feel overwhelmed thinking about all the details you need to take care of.
5. SELL
If you don't sell, you don't make money.
Selling is not easy or an inherent skill. It is one of the skill sets that you need to learn and practice a lot.
But it is a necessity to move my business forward. I have to sell, and so do you if you are in business. So I decided that creating a business that will support my cruising life is my ultimate aim.
It is important every once in and while to be reminded of what to concentrate on and how to move our business or goals forward.
