For many people, the idea of “financial freedom” is having enough money that you don’t have to work.
Having enough money to pursue your passions.
And having enough money to do whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want.
It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it...
But does it really exist?
Back when I was running my one-man advertising agency, I met this ‘webmaster’ guy who told me to get a website.
A little surprised, I asked him.
“Okay, why do I need a website?”
“No no Dan, you don’t get it, you need a website.”
“But what am I going to do with a website? I’m busy enough as it is. I don’t need more clients.”
“Well, you don’t have to use it for clients. You could sell something on the website.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know, put some stuff together. Sell a book or something.”
So I said “Okay fine”. And then a little later, I put together my very first book, Forbidden Psychological Tactics, and I started selling it online...
To my surprise, I started getting orders.
In just 30 days of selling stuff online - I made a couple grand.
And I was like “Oh my god. This is awesome.”
So I made another product.
And then another one.
And the money just kept coming in...
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you how much…
It was a ridiculous amount.
You can call it luck, good timing or whatever else you want. It was working.
And I was happy.
I was so happy with how things were turning out - I set the goal to retire by the age of 30.
And then did it. I retired.
Became a millionaire. Had this massive amount of passive income coming in every month.
And I thought to myself. “Okay. That’s it. I’m done.”
“Not going to work another day in my life.”
Now. This is where I’m supposed to say “The End” or something like that.
But what happened next, might actually shock you...
After not working for two months - and just doing whatever the hell I wanted - I was bored out of my mind.
I thought to myself. “Is this it?”
“Is this all that there it?”
It got to the point where I was so depressed, I didn’t know what to do with myself anymore…
So I called up my mentor.
“I don’t understand, I thought I would be happy when I became a millionaire. I thought this was what I always wanted.”
And he just laughed.
And after talking with him for a while, I realized something.
The Truth About Financial Freedom
Most people say they want to get to a point where they’re so financially free they never have to work again.
They say they want to retire and just sit on the beach or travel or go on vacation.
But what I’ve learnt is this.
Most people don’t want to retire...
They just want to do things retired people do.
For example:
- They want the freedom to do whatever they want with their time.
- And they want the freedom to buy whatever they want with their money...
But most people don’t want to sit around and do nothing all day.
And that’s why I was unhappy. I wasn’t doing anything of meaning.
So from then on, I decided I would still retire but I would retire - INTO my businesses and companies.
I would work with people I want to work with. And I would create things I want to create.
Maybe you’re looking for a way out of what you currently do.
Maybe you had a taste of vacation at the end of last year and you just wish it would go on and on.
Or maybe you didn’t even have a vacation, and you see everyone else and you wish you could do the same.
But I can guarantee you, what you actually want, isn’t to sit around on vacation - it’s to do work that you’re passionate about.
It’s to create something meaningful in the world.
So don’t aim for financial freedom. Where you don’t have to work anymore...
Aim for financial competence. Where you still work, but you get to call the shots.
You get to choose who you work with. You get to choose how much you pull in every month.
And you get to create the perfect lifestyle you’re always thinking about.
Sure financial confidence sounds great, but who actually reveals how you can get it?
