Okay I have a question. This question may be thoroughly confusing but I hope you understand it. Entrepreneurs will say constantly that you should be hungry for as much money as possible but also say that the number 1 thing you should thrive for is freedom (i.e. freedom of your geographical location, free to eat what you want, yada yada)

My question is let’s say there is a certain amount you will inevitably profit either running a POS business or working a high paying corporate job and you know that that fixed amount will make you more than any entrepreneurial endeavour you could have online, what percentage of the that should that percentage be what you’d make with your online entrepreneurial endeavours would be just too low where taking the route that will pay you more will be the better alternative?

On one hand, it would be nice to make money remotely, that way I ALWAYS have control over my geographical location but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind working in a box temporarily but working my ass off that way I can retire earlier and enjoy the spoils of my income.

    As an entrepreneur myself who worked my ass off during my corporate job a few years ago, I was chasing freedom first. But then I love money. So I used money to chase my freedom. It’s one hell of a ride, but it was all worth it. I now have the money while enjoying my freedom. I remember there was this article that I always read whenever I thought of those times. I’ll drop it here in case someone else wants to give it a read. It’s here. https://www.cuppa.so/post/selling-an-experience-the-power-of-storytelling-in-marketing
