Are you considering leaving your 9-to-5 job behind and becoming a freelance writer?
The challenge is to get your foot in the door.
Since you don’t have any references, most people won’t hire you.
Yet without projects, you can’t get any references.
It’s a conundrum.
Why should you only be allowed to be with one person? What is so terrible about having multiple sexual partners, as long as you are transparent about it?
If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you are not alone. There is a whole movement out there questioning the traditional relationship paradigm. It’s called ethical non-monogamy (ENM).
If you are self-employed, you know the feeling — some days, you wonder if it’s ever going to get better.
The 200 emails in your inbox. The constant fires you have to put out. The long backlog of projects that just keeps getting longer.
The solution — you should work on your business, not in your business.
Every minute that passes is irretrievably gone.
That’s why time is the most valuable commodity of all, even more precious than money.
So, how do you ensure you are not wasting your time?
There is a saying that I came across recently, which struck a chord with me — “It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war.”
It very much sums up why I turned to martial arts at a young age, after regularly getting beat up by older kids. You always need to prepare for the worst case.
Freedom — alongside love — is one of the building blocks of happiness.
That’s why we must strive to have more freedom in life.
But how do you do that? Especially with so many competing definitions of freedom around?
Do you sometimes wonder what your ideal day would look like?
It’s not just some idle thought experiment.
When we understand what things need to happen every day, we can build a better life for ourselves.
Learn why a beach day does not equal your ideal day, and how you can design your ideal day.
Most jobs create overwhelm.
Hundreds of emails. Endless backlogs. Crazy bosses. Office politics.
You can try to put up with it. Or you can find a minimalist job which eliminates these distractions.
Many businesses struggle with one simple question:
“Why should people buy from us?”
To know the answer is to know your key differentiator. It is what sets you apart from your competitors.
Are you constantly being pulled in 10 directions at once?
It’s not just that other people — your boss, your relatives, even strangers — demand your attention. It’s also that by digital means, people now always have access to you.
If you give into that, you will never get around to your most important projects. Life will slip you by.
